Since the only way in to the Red Sq n Kremlin was by metro due to the road closure for the marathon we had a second "tour" of the other stations.. An extra treat.

Belorusskaya nearest our hotel.
The entire station pays homage to the Belarusian people with 12 pictures on the ceiling depicting their daily lives. It also features pink marble from Birobidzhan that is seriously gorgeous.

Mayakovskaya

Located 33 meters beneath the surface, the station became famous during World War II when an air raid shelter was located in the station. On the anniversary of the October Revolution, on 7 November 1941, Joseph Stalin addressed a mass assembly of party leaders and ordinary Muscovites in the central hall of the station. During World War II, Stalin took residence in this place.

We exit this station to the Red Sq.
Teatralnaya Station has fluted pylons faced with labradorite and white marble.

After the Red Sq we left by metro for the circus.

Ploschad Revolyutsii
This impressive station, opened in 1938, features no less than 76 magnificent bronze statues of soldiers, farmers, schoolchildren, workers and a whole host of other characters who helped “defend the Soviet nation”. One of the statues, a dog, is said to bring good luck to those who rub its nose. Ploschad Revolyutsii is at the dead centre of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line and is the best stop for visiting Red Square.

Arbatskaya was designed by Leonid Polyakov, Valentin Pelevin and Yury Zenkevich. Since it was meant to serve as a bomb shelter as well as a Metro station, Arbatskaya is both large (the 250-m platform is the second-longest in Moscow) and deep (41 m underground). The main tunnel is elliptical in cross-section, an unusual departure from the standard circular design. The station features low, square pylons faced with red marble and a high vaulted ceiling elaborately decorated with ornamental brackets, floral reliefs, and chandeliers.

The Leninskie (now Vorobyevy) Gory metro station is on a glassed-in bridge across the Moskva River on Vorobyevy Hills, one of the most picturesque parts of the city - a riverbank islet of greenery and an excellent recreation area.

Universitet (Russian: Университе́т, English: University), named after nearby Moscow State University, is a station on the Moscow Metro's Sokolnicheskaya Line. It opened in 1959 and features rectangular white marble pylons and tiled walls
