Komsomolskaya Metro Station (March 2015)

Komsomolskaya circle-line station is located under Komsomolskaya Ploschad, which is also called Ploschad Tryokh Vokzalov. It is one of the busiest stations in Moscow, as well as one of the most beautiful. The theme of the station is the struggle of the Russian people for freedom. The ceiling is decorated with eight impressive mosaics depicting heroes from Russian history: Dmitri Donskoy, Aleksandr Nevsky, Kuzma Minin and Dmitri Pozharsky, Aleksandr Suvorov and Mikhail Kutuzov. The other two mosaics previously depicted Iosif Stalin, but after the cult of Stalin was ended in 1963 these mosaics were replaced with a mosaic of Vladimir Lenin addressing Red Guards and one of the Moscow Kremlin's Spasskaya Tower with the Mother Russia Calls Monument in the background. At the end of the station there is a bust of Vladimir Lenin. The floor of the station is made out of rose-colour granite. The station was opened in 1952.
