Fun fact! Moscow now has a subway (metro) directly in Vnukovo airport. That's right, you can just arrive from abroad and hop onto city transport without any additional hassle
Note to self when I visit Moscow I guess
Ok, hear me out

I can't speak any further without getting bonked by a doge

my brain refuses to accept that the picture isn't squashed
The Imperial March starts playing
Looking at this and the other commenter made me wonder how communism got associated with the color red

It reminds me of something from a while ago ... I just can't put my finger on it.
Don't you mean in it?
A bit too picture perfect for me but damn it does go hard
It did get contrast turned up to eleven, but it looks cool without it too
Imagine trying to clean that when it gets dusty. Worth it though, looks awesome!

Lmao why are you like this
I can't make out the model of plane hanging. I wanted to say a Concord at first glance, but now I'm confused.
That's Tu-144, world's first supersonic cruise plane, had its first flight before famous Concorde.
Ah! That makes sense! I was racking my brain for a similar plane, but the best I could come up with was maybe an early prototype of the TU-22.
Yeah it's fairly obscure model, because it was retired much faster than Concorde since such plane is useless in socialism because they are no rich people to pander to like this. It was mostly used as really fast cargo transport plane, but again it's something just regular transport plane were good for with much less resources used.
Western media also don't like to mention it since it's like casual soviet achievment done "in the meantime" vs the incredibly lauded and advertised Concorde. Not to mention Concorde itself faded into obscurity now so there is even less opportunities to mention its soviet counterpart.
Well it’s labeled with CCCP 77061 so maybe that helps? I’m not great when it comes to model anythings, “a car is a car and a plane is a plane” type thought process I have.
ugliest moscow station be like:
Looking at the first photograph reminded me of something familiar…
