A new quiz challenges Muscovites to test their knowledge of the Moscow Metro by identifying stations from historical photographs. The quiz, available online, presents users with a series of images showcasing the changing face of the underground system over nearly a century.
The quiz features ten questions, each presenting a photograph of a Moscow Metro station. Participants are asked to identify the station in the picture. Some photos showcase the stations in their early days, while others highlight architectural details or unique features.
The quiz includes stations such as Tsvetnoy Bulvar, Novoslobodskaya, Izmailovskaya and Paveletskaya. The images capture not only the architecture but also glimpses of daily life around the stations in different eras. Questions also touch on historical names of stations, challenging participants to recall how the metro system has evolved.
The Moscow Metro, often described as the “nervous system” of the city, has been an integral part of Moscow’s identity for almost a century. The quiz serves as a reminder of the metro’s rich history and its deep connection to the lives of Muscovites. It encourages residents to engage with the city’s past and appreciate the architectural and cultural significance of its underground transport system.
