Photos made in Moscow subway
If you ever think about travel to Russia and visit Moscow, you might like visit Moscow subway. It’s definetely worth looking. First of all architecture of Moscow subway is astonishing, I think I’ll make a separate post about architecture of Moscow subway, because each stop, each station is so nice. During Soviet era amounts worth of millions dollars were invested in the construction of Moscow subway.
Each station is like museum, with huge patchworks occupying some walls, high ceilings and antique type chandeliers. And in those magnificent interriors nowadays you can meet people that look like really weird.

You can meet Comrade Stalin for example, sitting on the common passenger seat of Moscow subway.

Some commando riding a Moscow city subway.

The woman sitting next to him isn’t much interested in what’s happening.

Have you ever seen such a huge balalaika? And the balalaika owner seems to be quitely sleeping, not caring his musical instrument to be stolen. Who would need such a thing?

Person who sent in this photo said that this scout girl was in her late thirties..

This might be a proof of quantum, or even not quantum teleportation. From Chicago, early 20s to Moscow city subway late 2006.
There is a separate subject in every subway train and stop, the drunk people. There is a lot of jokes about Russian people who drink a lot of alcohol, especially vodka. Well, that is really so. Not everyone but there are really a lot of people who drink, and sometimes drink a lot.
And sometimes they drink too much to continue their trip to home, or just their life trip, and they land in subway, which accepts those strangers with warm station buildings and speedlight trains. Let’s see some of the occasions of such hospitality:

People around those two guys are not interested in them, it’s a common thing.

The young lady more ebmarassed by the fact she would be now on somebody’s digital photo print than by the fact that a guy is sleeping next to her.

They don’t spend a lot of time creating some new sleeping poses, just lay down and sleep. Probably that’s why they don’t attract people’s attention - there is no creative approach in their actions. Though this guy took of his boots before putting his legs on the seat, at least he is polite, he cares not to spoil the seat.

Here is the example of mutual cooperation. It’s much more convinient to use one’s friend’s body as a pillow than to law down on a bare leathercloth seat.

Here we can see a perfect example of the teamplay (or teamsleep?).

He could not achieve a teamplay from dogs, so he had no other thing to do to lay down without a body-pillow.

And now en example of really creative approach.

A rule of peaceful sleep in Moscow city subway - don’t lay down near the entrance, or you might be violently trampled down by a crowd.

By a crowd like this for example. That’s a real traffic jump inside of Moscow city subway. And just imagine this is all happening deeply underneath the Earth surface. People with claustrophobia is better to avoid such places, isn’t it?
But somebody should keep an order in those places? Where is all the policemen in Moscow city subway? Look at some:

He probably broke a rule of not lying near the exit doors. “Officer is touched! Anyone???”. No, nobody seems be caring that a police officer is violently beaten. Just think about it.

This is what we call “unrivalled power of argument and eloquence”.

I think I forgot to include this officer in “Sleeping in Subway” section, still I can put him here. Just another example of how you can get tired after the righteous job.
I suppose that someone would ask is there any Russian girls in Moscow city subway or no? Yes, for sure there are plenty of them, though such photos are not being submitted often just because Russian girls are everywhere in Moscow and Russia, not just in the subway. Still I’ve got some for you to show.

“Serious. Shady. Smiling.”

She is sitting on a stone tomb, probably she is not against if someone could make a monument of her sitting on the tomb.

Black and white Russian brides. It’s a kind of rhyme.

Those are gothic Russian girls.
And some more just curious photos from Moscow city subway:

He probably preferred not to drink and drive, but to drink and ride, ride on Moscow city subway.

Those guys also decided not to drive nor to dive, just to take their oars to the deep underground.
There are plenty of other interesting people that you would be able to meet if you decide someday to travel to Russia and then visit a Moscow city subway, but for those who are not planing travelling to Moscow those articles are.
The quality of the photos are often not brilliant, but I hope you can understand - the photos are often made by the means people have handy in the subway like cameraphones.
Some of the photos are submitted by viers of Russian LiveJournal community metro_persons.

Pixdaus, God Gave Us Pics!
Despite people on reddit bitching about you posting your site all the time, I do enjoy your writing. Keep this sort of thing coming, its really neat getting this sort of insight into what goes on in Russia.
I haven’t found any funny things in this post. As Yaroslava wrote before this is just homeless poor peoples. And the comment about the ‘digital’ camera and the ‘woman’ just killed me. Wake up man, have you ever been in Moscow?
yeah, but you can still see this quite often in Moscow. I used to live there!

Excuse me,but,whereas the fact I’m not Russian,I think this pictures and them comments are very “USA vs Russia”.
And,I’m sure that American metro’s passengers aren’t better!
Ok,that could be funny,but,if you want to be more funny,now,send your American’s people’s metro’s Pic!
I’m sure the joke will be better!
In order to conclude”on ne voit bien que la paille qui est dans l’oeil de son voisin,mais,jamais la poutre qui est dans la sienne”!
That’s an fact,not an jugement,but,I’m sorry,but,how could you be funny with people’s sadness?
Will you go to Russia only to say and show bad things?
What do you say if others countries do the same?????
Peace begins here.
Respect,please.And,sorry about my language,I’m not English,not American.
Don’t bother. To me as to a Russian this post pretty clearly says: my author is a moron. A curious one though.
I doubt others would do the same. It’s a matter of one’s dignity.
What strange things are happening in this subway? (photos)…

ну и пусть хают Россию…а нам пооофиг:) кстати, как в Англии - не знаю, а вот в Германии, конкретно в Кельне, такого в метро нет:)
I knew people drank a lot in Russia, but the photographs depicts a clear example of how bad the drinking problem is. I haven’t seen people drunk, sleeping on the floor of buses in Panama, even though this is a poor country.
I wonder if these same social problems occurred during the ex-Communist Soviet Union?

Wow. Just wow.
Wonderful collection.
Great pictures, thanks! Really makes me want to go to Moscow, ride the subway and take pictures. Makes me also want to go to Moscow, ride the subway, and pick up girls! Won’t they enjoy my skillful English and cute American accent. I think I’ll try to take some pictures on the subway here in Chicago…
Thanks again for these fabulous pictures!

In Russia Subway rides You!
Well, you dont see this on busses, because busses have a driver can see the whole interior of a bus.
not so for a subway.
I was very saddened to see these photos. I left the USSR in 1981, never to return. I remember fondly the Moscow subway, having spent many content hours riding the bullet trains. I now live in Montreal, and the subway here, although very bland (very) compared to Moscow’s masterpiece, never exhibited such horror of a nation as these photos. Russia used to be a leader in culture, humanities (well, maybe not humanity), and civilization. Oh, what a poor decrepid monster this great beast has become. Наша родина? Моя родина там, где хорошо.

прикольно
I dont know about London or Cologne, but in San Francisco there are plenty of homeless people. They sleep on street , not in the subway, but it doesn’t look very much different.
In Panama they don’t have money for Vodka!

I cant wait to go to Russia I hear the chicks there are easy! From your pictures they seem to be fine as hell and with all the homosexual guys there it will be easy pickings for me when it comes to getting the ladies! I can finally fulfill my fantasy of having 26 girls at one time! God Bless Russia, especially there hot easy women!
Very interesting section of modern day life in Russia. But for a true study of drunken fools, start asking about pictures taken in Ireland. THERE you will find some mighty drinkers!!
american guy, i don’t think, that you’ll be able able to fulfill your fantasy. As soon as you find a second girl, your head will meet a frying pan
Russian girls ain’t that easy.
And there aren’t many homosexualist guys in Russia. It’s very few of them.
And…. Avoid dark corners. You may loose your money and teeth.

[...] Fotos, geschossen in der - nein, nicht Hamburger U-Bahn - Moskauer U-Bahn sind hier zu finden. Ein feines Blog im Übrigen mit interessanten Artikeln. Kamikaze-Demokratie schreibt über das verwunderliche Demokratie-Verständnis des Künstlers Hans Haacke. Im Berliner Reichstagsgebäude gibt es ein Kunstwerk namens “Der Bevölkerung”. Jetzt könnte man ganz naiv annehmen, dass es ja sicher kein Problem sei, Fotos von diesem Kunstwerk zu machen und im privaten Weblog zu veröffentlichen - warum auch nicht? Wurde das doch schließlich mit Steuergeldern - also von uns allen - finanziert und steht auch noch in “unserem” Reichstag… was sollte also dagegen sprechen? Gewerkschaften muss man - insbesondere auch in heutigen Zeiten - kritisch sehen. Auch über einen gesetzlich festgelegten Mindestlohn mag man trefflich streiten können. Worüber man nicht streiten kann, ist das Mindestlohn-Weblog. Wenn nicht pro Mindestlohn argumentiert wird, sind dort feine Artikel von Andreas zu finden, so z. B. zur Kinderarmut. Via dem Schockwellenreiter bin ich auf diese alten Landkarten aufmerksam geworden - grandios. Der letzte Linktipp zu unseren Nachbarn geht zu Missi - großes Kino zum Thema Spamabwehr. [...]
Photos, shot in - no, not Hamburg underground - the Muscovites underground are to be found here. A fine Blog in all other respects with interesting articles. Kamikaze democracy writes over the amazing democracy understanding of the artist Hans Haacke. In the citizen of Berlin realm tag building gives it a work of art on behalf of “the population”. Now couldn’t one accept completely naively that it was safe no problem, photos from this work of art to to make and in the private Web log publish - why also? Nevertheless finally with tax fundses - thus of us all - one financed and also still stands in “our” realm day… which should thus against it speak? One - in particular also in today’s times - must see trade unions critical. Also over a legally specified minimum wage one may be able to argue trefflich. About what one cannot argue, is the minimum wage Web log. If not per minimum wage one argues, there fine articles from Andreas are to be found to, so e.g. to the child poverty. Via the shock wave rider I became attentive on these old maps - grandios. The latter linktap to our neighbours goes to Missi - large cinema about Spam defense
hehe, well just like ‘russian man’ said, this isn’t typical russian, even in the Netherlands, where i am from, you find this kind of people in train.
Thanks a lot I had no idea Moscow had such a big subway
