The stations of Saint Petersburg metro are famous not only for excellent decoration but also for being a part of a strong propaganda
of the communist regime with numerous mosaics, bas-reliefs and panels on socialism themes.

- Why all the stations are so deep;
- Where you can feel an illusion of a real sky being 30 meters deep under the ground;
- Where you can find the bas-relief of Stalin, the only one that was left in the metro after his regime;
- How subway workers leave memories about themselves in decoration of stations;
- Why there’s a feeling that some stations don’t have all necessary elements of decoration;
- How much time it takes you to lift from the third deepest station in the world
