      A backlit stained-glass panel on the theme of radio and television
      broadcasting, shown above. Another example of Soviet 1970s official folk
      art is the panel on the wall of "Belyaevo" metro station, created in 1974
      by Bodniek and Rysin:

      From the Stalin times, here's a couple of Moscow Metro Soviet Realism
      ornaments - this is only to whet your appetite, as we will be publishing
      full article on this subject:

      
      
      ("Prospect Mira" station, built in 1951)

      Now looking into the future: here is an interesting
      Moscow Metro map from the Year 2100 (looks like there is still a
      lot of work to be done and a lot of stations to be built; this will keep
      them busy for the most of the next century - more
      info):

      This 2100 map, however, contradicts predictions of zombie apocalypse for
      Moscow Metro in the year 2033, as described in the popular book and video
      game
      "Metro 2033". They might run out of time before they build all these stations...
