Opened in 1972, this pink and red marble architecture builds upon the more functional styles of the 1960s.

The metro—the sixth longest system in the world—pauses in a station decorated with traditional Belarusian designs.

This station is best known for its 32 stained glass panels created by Latvian artists, illuminated from within and surrounded by a brass border.

Featuring Stalinist architecture influenced by prewar Art Deco, the station's design theme highlights the struggle of the home front during the Second World War.

White marble topped with floral carvings nods to the nearby Botanical Garden of Moscow State University.
