THE PHOTOGRAPHER’S STORY
Art Nouveau Novoslobodskaya includes 32 stained-glass panels and a mosaic
with a political theme – typical of the stations. They were full of messages and
information – with the idea that new residents from the countryside were brought
up to ideological speed as they moved through the metro all day.Aeroport station, near Moscow’s former airport, was finished in 1938 and was part
of a second stage of station building that took place in the late ’30s. This station
had the most opulent designs, with gold, semi-precious stones, mosaics, and 14
different varieties of marble (like the pink and black marbles from Siberia and the
Urals used in the panels here).
