Then a story about how good officials of the Russian Empire saved Moscow several times from the metro and rejected all the projects that were brought to them. Therefore, the metro appeared in Moscow half a century later than it could have been. It's a shame we'll never see the metro stations of the First Russian Empire. We only have the metro of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. During the war there were barbershops in the metro and in general throughout the city's infrastructure, including libraries.
