3. Ploshchad’ Revolutsii Station (Dark Blue Line). This station opened its doors on 13 March 1938 as a joint creation of architect Alexei Dushkin and sculptor Matvey Manizer. It is easy to recognize by its dark-red marble arches with 76 bronze life-size statues in the Socialist Realist style. The statues represent Soviet citizens such as farmers, athletes, soldiers and schoolchildren. Several figures have become good-luck charms; for example, touching the nose of the border guard’s dog is a famous ritual among students and tourists.
