St. Petersburg’s metro may not be as impressive as its Moscow counterpart, but some stations offer enough communist glamour to justify a short joyride. Conveniently, the most impressive stops are on the “red” line (line 1) where Avtovo, Narvskaya and Kirovsky Zavod metro stops each have their fill of communist images, statues and symbols. Ploshchad Vosstaniya also has the city’s last public images of Stalin. When you come down the escalators, there are pillars on both sides of you. Stalin is shown on the second pillar to your left, and then again a bit further down, to your right.
