The Bolsheviks moved the capital to Moscow in 1918. They decided to transform it into the “Model Communist Capital”.
The 1930-s and 1940-s are the era of huge changes in the architectural look of Moscow. You have a unique opportunity to explore the people's palaces of Stalin's era both under and over the ground: stunning metro stations of the first pre-war lines dug at 35 meters below the surface, the famous “Seven Sisters” of Stalin built in the late 1940-s and much more.
