    In case anyone is wondering, that’s Komsomolskaya station, built in 1952. Later stations tended to not be so opulent.

        I think I owe you an apology. I took your initial comment as you trying to insult me, given our past interactions. Not that I wasn’t giving an honest opinion on the design itself, but otherwise I would have just kept it to myself.

        That’s not opulent, that’s just bad taste. The other one was absolutely beautiful.

            None of the design elements work with each other, to start with. Then it’s like after the fact, some shmuck from the propaganda office told the architects to stick a stupid looking fighter jet in there. It’s like a weak man’s idea of a strong design.

              I’ve never read a more sour comment in my life. Thanks for letting me know how much you’re seething and coping there.

                It really doesnt have a cohesive design motif to it and does feel like strongman propaganda.

                  I mean, obviously it’s nowhere close to Soviet designs in terms of quality, but we’re comparing with US here.
