EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Underground Railway in Leningrad during the 1970s. The artist, CM Dixon, skillfully portrays a bustling scene within one of the deepest metro systems in the world. The Saint Petersburg Metro, which opened on November 15th, 1955, is renowned for its typical Soviet designs and decorative elements that make it truly enchanting. In this particular image, we find ourselves inside an underground station where passengers eagerly await their train's arrival. A diverse group of people can be seen: men dressed in classic attire representing different walks of life and reflecting the vibrant cityscape above ground. As they stand on the platform surrounded by Soviet architecture and design elements, there is an undeniable sense of anticipation and movement. The photograph not only showcases a moment frozen in time but also highlights how transportation connects individuals from all corners of society within this magnificent Russian city. With its new set of tunnels added in June 2004, this historic railway system continues to serve as a lifeline for commuters and tourists alike. CM Dixon's masterful composition transports us back to a pivotal era when Leningrad was known as both Petrograd and later Saint Petersburg. It serves as a testament to Russia's rich history while reminding us that even underground spaces can possess beauty and charm worth preserving for future generations.
