1. Mayakovskaya Station (Green Line). This Art Deco masterpiece was opened on 11 September 1938, eight years after the death of the famous poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. Architect Alexey Dushkin designed the station, while artist Alexander Deyneka created 34 beautiful ceiling mosaics based on the theme “24-Hour Soviet Sky.” This station looks very modern and futuristic, and its full-size model won the Grand Prix at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.
