PERSHING 7x for sale

Can a lightning-bolt of emotion generate infinite wonder? The Pershing 7X concentrates the quintessence of Pershing in a compact, flawless form. 7X is lightness. 7X is speed. 7X is performance in each and every detail. A fabulous blend of the latest Pershing technology and the unmistakable design by Fulvio De Simoni.

The lightness of the Pershing 7X takes the forms and textures of the carbon fibre widely used in its construction. With its typical sleek, sporty lines, the exterior design brings major aesthetic innovations to the Pershing style, starting with the brand-new colour of the hull and superstructure. The attractive shapes are carried over in the interiors, designed to ensure the optimal use of all spaces and giving the entire yacht maximum lightness.

The pioneering construction solutions allow the Pershing 7X to reach the incredible speed of 50 knots thanks to the 1800 MHP twin MAN V12 engine. The innovative Dynamic Positioning System lets the Pershing 7X maintain its position even when winds or currents are strong.

The spatial ergonomics is maximal thanks to volumes that blend technology and performance in perfect proportions. The open spaces allow the boat to be filled with pleasure and light, such as the large lounge characterized by the front openable windows and the dark glass sliding roof. The new, much larger rectangular portholes allow air and natural light to permeate the rooms below decks.

Pershing 7X: price, specifications and more

Designed by Fulvio De Simoni, her exterior showcases streamlined contours complemented by a distinctively new hull and superstructure colour. Spanning 21.11 metres in length, with a beam of 5.35 metres and a draft of 1.52 metres, the Pershing 7X is a testament to effective space utilisation and design from Pershing. The extensive use of carbon fibre in her construction contributes to her lightweight design without compromising strength. Her main and lower decks are spacious, which is notably remarkable for a yacht within her class. A forward-opening window in the lounge and large rectangle portholes infuse the galley and the three staterooms with ample natural light. Able to accommodate up to six overnight guests, she features crew quarters for two. Powered by twin 1800 MHP MAN V12 engines, she has an impressive top speed of 50 knots.

The aerodynamic design of the superstructure is further enhanced by distinct stylistic features, like the side wings protecting the cockpit, that have become a signature element of the brand.

+ Main Deck

A blend of essential design elements, lacquered frames and fabrics in soft grey shades, are interspersed with darker and contrasting details, characterising the design of the living area.

The flooring is finished in a similar grey-tone oak and further incorporates the colours of the other materials used on board.

It is present in all settings- a warm and soothing atmosphere is created by the use of these colours, which is further enhanced by an abundance of natural light coming through the large windows on all four sides, or by the additional, indirect LED lighting installed in the ceiling, that can fully aluminate the interior, even at night.

Beyond the dining and living area lies the plank, with a modern, sporty look. Over the helm station is a large sliding glass roof. On the portside is another smaller sofa and chaise lounge

ABOUT PERSHING YACHTS It started out as a simple shipyard in 1981 when three Italian friends Tilli Antonelli, Fausto Filippetti, and Giuliano Onori founded Cantiere Navale dell’Adriatico in Mondolfo, Italy. They built laminate boats but soon became more interested in motor yachts.

Avid boaters themselves, the trio realized that motor yachts of the day focused only on luxury and cared little for power. Instead of following the traditional path, their goal was to combine excellence on three levels:  Superior performance, top-quality materials, and luxurious interiors.

In 1985 they recruited talented yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni to bring their vision to life. Since they were aiming for speed and performance, they named the company after the Pershing Missile, and Pershing Yachts was born. Their boats have lived up to that reputation.

Allow us to educate you on the yacht masterpieces created in Pershing's shipyards. Allied Marine is the only brokerage on the East Coast able to offer new Pershing boats for sale. 

VESSEL INNOVATION BY PERSHING YACHTS Pershing’s first boat, a 45’ open yacht, delivered what they wanted: An abundance of power in an opulent package, but they didn’t stop there. Innovations continued.

For example, their unique vacuum-infusion lamination system for the fiberglass deck, superstructure, and hull give their yachts great strength and exciting streamlined shapes. Innovative monolithic curvatures around the windows let more natural light enter the interior. Interior and exterior living spaces are innovatively blended onboard, which makes small areas appear large and increases the sensation of space.

Pershing Yachts have evolved into a fleet that ranges from 50’ to superyachts. Each boat still conforms to the company’s initial requirements to produce what is known as “The Pershing Thrill.”

BUSINESS EVOLUTION PERSHING YACHTS In the early 1990s, the Pershing market expanded well beyond Italy. Pershing enthusiasts could be found throughout the  Mediterranean , across the United States, and in the Far East.

In 1998, Pershing Yacht's presence in the American market increased further when it became part of the Ferretti Group, a leader in the luxury yacht sector.

PRIVATE SHOWINGS FOR PERSHING YACHTS Visit The Ferretti Group Showroom in Ft. Lauderdale, the largest covered, in-water marina in the US, featuring new and used Pershing, Riva, and Ferretti Yachts.

PERSHING YACHTS BY MODEL

PERSHING 5X The first Pershing "Generation X" achievement. A bold coupé created to satisfy the inexhaustible desire to set sail for new vistas at incredible speeds. Pershing 5X marks the start of a fantastic new chapter in Pershing's history. The incredibly aerodynamic superstructure has iconic Pershing flair, including side wings that shield the cockpit and can be separated from or attached to the interior salon using a unique method for opening and closing the glass doors and windows. Four hull windows per bulwark, each with elliptical portholes, complete the design, making the Pershing 5X a veritable "fighter jet" on the sea.

Pershing 5X offers dominating, signature precision performance and is set up for easy docking with a cutting-edge joystick mechanism. Perfection always: Pershing 5X adapts to all weather situations owing to its adaptable spaces. For more information, contact a Pershing 6X sales professional or explore our inventory of Pershing 5X for sale .

PERSHING 6X With her sleek, nimble lines and cutting-edge innovation, the Pershing 6X exemplifies the Pershing predatory spirit. She's a burst of power with a peak speed of 48 knots, and she's ready to run circles around the competition and make fun of convention. A rebel by design, the Pershing 6X offers a sleek, pared-back look typical of the X Generation. With wide hull windows that light the areas below deck. The side wings are incorporated into the superstructure, which adds to the overall comfort and pleasure on board.

The 6X is a 62' yacht with a ferocious Pershing instinct that allows it to slice through the sea at speeds of up to 48 knots. Pershing 6X integrates technology, power, and space in precise proportions. The open spaces, such as the spacious saloon with the front openable windows and the dark glass sliding roof, allow the boat to be filled with joy and light. The new rectangular portholes, which are substantially larger, enable air and natural light to enter the spaces below decks. For more information, contact a Pershing 6X sales professional or explore our inventory of Pershing 6X for sale .

PERSHING 7X The new Pershing 7X distills the essence of Pershing into a small, perfect package. 7X is lightness. 7X is Speed. Performance in every aspect is what Pershing 7X is all about. The Pershing 7X's lightness is derived from the shapes and textures of the carbon fiber utilized in its fabrication. The external design, with its trademark sleek, agile lines, introduces important visual modifications to the Pershing style, beginning with the brand-new hull and superstructure color.

That striking design is carried over into the interiors created to maximize the use of all areas while keeping the vessel as light as possible. The Pershing 7X's cutting-edge construction allows it to achieve amazing speeds of 50 knots. The open spaces, such as the huge saloon with the front retractable windows and the dark glass sliding roof enable the boat to be filled with air and natural light and rectangular portholes allow that same light to enter the spaces below decks. For more information, contact a Pershing 7X sales professional or explore our inventory of Pershing 7X for sale .

PERSHING 8X The revolution in carbon fiber. A leap ahead in Pershing style, with each element, meant to impress, beginning with the building material. The Pershing 8X is the masterpiece of the "X Generation," lightweight, swift, and hyper-performing, with the most spacious, hospitable accommodations and a revolutionary propulsion system. The Pershing 8X’s athletic design and most prominent characteristics are the magnificent side wings and the sun deck's aerodynamic shape and the clever and scenic integration of the stairs leading to the sport flybridge allows an aesthetic hallmark to grow into a utilitarian element, freeing up extra cockpit space.

The twin engines provide speeds of up to 48 knots in the optional configuration and 45 knots in the normal configuration. The Pershing 8X is outfitted with a revolutionary technology that merges propulsion control with maneuvering, navigation, and monitoring systems, all of which are accessible to the pilot via enormous natural carbon panels and 24" touchscreen monitors.

The unrivaled mix of quality and creativity results in environments that are extraordinary in both beauty and utility. The main deck's dual-side entrance guarantees intimacy and seclusion. The helm station is a work of art in terms of design, technology, and sportiness. The revolutionary Music Hull technology allows for high-quality underwater audio listening. For more information, contact a Pershing 8X sales professional or explore our inventory of Pershing 8X for sale .

PERSHING 9X A piece of truly cutting-edge nautical design, a work of wonder and surprise, and an awe-inspiring marriage of elegance and technology. The Pershing 9X is a new maxi coupé with futuristic materials and engines that combines the Pershing excitement with "X Generation" quality to provide a unique sailing experience. The broad side wings and the aerodynamic contour of the sun deck highlight its athletic lines. The open-air foredeck and sundeck offer great luxury, while the interior décor exudes elegance and sophistication.

The Pershing 9X provides class-leading performance as well as unrivaled comfort because of its silent operation, even at high speeds, and absence of roll at anchor. The complete integration of the propulsion, navigation and monitoring systems combines performance and control. The Pershing 9X is extremely maneuverable, especially in small situations, thanks to the joysticks and surface propellers. For more information, contact a Pershing 9X sales professional or explore our inventory of Pershing 9X for sale .

PERSHING SUPERYACHTS BY MODEL

PERSHING GTX116 The revolution begins right here. From a 35-meter boat that defies all odds. Pershing GTX116 improves the seagoing experience to a new level with her athletic character and extraordinary livability, beautiful appearance, and razor-sharp concentration on making life joyful.

165 square meters of completely integrated outdoor spaces, as well as the revolutionary Seascape. GTX fundamentally alters the people-boat-water paradigm. The rush of speed and the satisfaction of immense power under control. The GTX116's graceful dynamism stems from the seamless interplay of three 1,800 mhp (optional 2,000 mhp) MAN engines, Kamewa waterjets, and cutting-edge Pershing technology.

The interiors of GTX116 are a statement of style, attention to detail, and individuality, set to match the owner's demands and aspirations, with a harmonic interplay of light and ambiance and refined Made in Italy décor. For more information, contact a Pershing GTX116 sales professional or explore our inventory of Pershing GTX116 for sale .

PERSHING 140 The pinnacle of the Pershing experience. Not only is the Pershing 140 Pershing's first all-aluminum superyacht. It is also the first yacht to include an elevated helm station with direct access to the sun deck. It is the first to have a separate place for the owner on the main deck, as well as the first to have a beach area that can open completely on three sides.

The sleek lines that embody the brand's sporty, competitive attitude are accentuated by recognizable elements such as the two side wings integrated into the superstructure at the entrance of the walkways. The mooring cover with an automated up/down mechanism that retains the streamlined form ensures that the model's aerodynamics are enhanced by the very contemporary shape of the bow.

The technologies are all cutting-edge, in keeping with the Pershing DNA, and combine performance with well-being and relaxation. The Pershing 140's three huge decks and extensive outside spaces make living on board exceedingly comfortable.

Meet the Pershing 7X

• By Victor Tan
• Updated: February 27, 2020

The Pershing Yachts 7X has launched, rounding out the builder’s X series, which also includes the 5X , 8X and 9X .

Designed by Fulvio De Simoni and the Piero Ferrari-led Ferretti Group, Pershing says its Generation X yachts are focused on design, technology, performance and the use of ultra-lightweight materials. The 70-foot 7X is constructed primarily of carbon fiber.

When it comes to design, the yacht’s 17-foot, 6-inch beam helps create real estate for three staterooms belowdecks: a full-beam master stateroom, a starboard-side guest stateroom with twins and a forepeak VIP stateroom, each with en suite heads. The twin-berth stateroom can be replaced by L-shaped seating. Crew quarters are aft of the master and forward of the engine room. Average headroom belowdecks is around 6 feet, 6 inches.

The two-seat, Poltrona Frau leather helm seats are on the main deck to starboard with an L-shaped settee abaft and to port. The settee surrounds a high-low table that also extends to accommodate eight guests for dinner. Flanking the helm are electrically-operated. Forward is the structure-free windshield offering unobstructed views. There is a garage aft on the main deck that’s capable of fitting an 11-foot, 3-inch tender.

The helm on Hull No. 1 has two 19-inch multifunction displays in a dashboard with carbon-fiber control panels. Joysticks and levers flank the captain’s seat.

At a cruising speed of 42 knots, Pershing says the 7X can travel for 300 nautical miles. Top speed? The Italian manufacturer claims 50 knots. Twin 1,800 hp MAN V12 diesels are matched to Top System P85X surface drives.

The 7X is also equipped with two Seakeeper NG6 gyroscopic stabilizers.

Restaurant-Yacht Chaika

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Pleasantly surprised, service is good so is the food. Great selection of Fusion food, a mixture of Italian, Japanese, European, Asian etc. A pleasantly nice dining experience, highly recommended, a must try!

Thank you for your feedback and invite you to have lunch or dinner again aboard the ship in an atmosphere of high standards of yacht hospitality.

everything was perfect - the food, the service, the desserts were the best, nice atmosphere and the location - magical

Best food, best view in Moscow. absolutely faultless from arrival to finish. Best risotto i had for many years absolutely perfectly cooked. The view on Ukrainian hotel and the white house by night is amazing

Had to wait for the food for 1.5 hours and then another 20 minutes for the check. Finally called for the manager and he offered... a 10% discount as a compensation. Simply pathetic! The food is mediocre at best. Not bad per se, but one... would expect something better considering the prices. There are many places to eat in area that are much better. Avoid this one at all costs. More

Hello, Alexander Your comment is extremely important for us, thank you a lot for it. We are terribly sorry for your time that you`ve spent waiting your order and we have already taken actions to improve quality of our service and it would be realy... More

Food is very expensive,very pretentious, doesn't worth that money. Portions are very small. We ordered ravioli and there were 4! Four raviolis! For almost 15 euros. Then we asked to bring us dessert menu but nothing, they didn't even bothered, so we payed and left... without dessert. Very poor service for that price. More

This is a very good restaurant. The food is really good, maybe the best in Moscow. The service is also good. The view from the restaurant is great. The prices are very high.

I often visit this restaurant and must say it’s one of the best in Moscow in terms of quality and service. Staff really try hard to make sure that you are happy and satisfied. Customer service is a huge problem in Moscow but Chaika sets... a great example for others in the industry! Food is delicious and the menu has lots of options for everyone! Atmosphere is great and view is beautiful on the embankment. Special thanks to German & Oleg! More

Thank you for your feedback! Again aboard the yacht restaurant "Chaika" in accordance with the high standards of yacht hospitality.

Highly recommended, great location in the city center of Moscow with a superb atmosphere. Too many menu choices, though all delicious!

Thx a lot for your review! We are looking forward to see you in our restaurants.

Visited this lovely restaurant with a friend of mine. It was relaxingly warm August evening - so the place on the river seemed like a good idea. We came quite early and the restaurant was not full. The hostesses kindly offered several places to sit... and we chose to sit on the sofas. We had some wine, which was good. We struggled a bit when deciding about the food as few options (scallops) were not available. Fish on ice on display did not look very fresh. To be honest it was an unusually hot August and it is probably understandable that some see food options were not available. However, we did manage to order something and sat waiting and looking onto the river. My long-legged friend struggled sitting at the low sofa and the manager noticed that, offering as a very good, proper table beside the open window. It was nice touch and I was very pleased by their polite observations and immediate reaction to solve the problem. Food was quite good and presentation was perfect. Perhaps I can something about the food, but 1 visit is not enough to criticize or make a definitive opinion. Overall, quality place, which of course, does not come cheap. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. More

Good afternoon! Thank you for your detailed feedback! We are looking forward to seeing you again, we are sure that you will be delighted with our dishes!

I've been here several times during two business trip in Moscow. The overall quality for both service and food is absolutely top-notch, plus the location is very unique.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are looking forward to visiting again!

Located on a boat at Krasnopresenskaya River Bank this 5 Star Restaurant transforms into a party location due to multiple groups hosting events. Impressive wine selection, Asian and European kitchen...

Thx a lot! We are waiting for you!

It is a nice place to gather specially at the lounge The service and staff very good I like the river view The food is almost like all restaurants in Russia they serve different cuisine. Staring Russian appetizer till Asian dishes Presentation and taste amazing... I consider it overpriced little bit More

Good location. Nice views. Good choice of food and drinks. European and Asian menu. Nice service. Pricey enough.

Had a large group dinner here. Food was above average and service quite good. The real attraction is the view of Moscow from the river on a nice night. Great place for a larger group dinner. More

Hello, John We are really pleased by reading that you and your friends were satisfied by our service, client`s experience is the highest value for us. We will be happy to see you again, come and enjoy some new dishes from our chef and nice... More

The luxurious atmosphere of this place, the view and the location make it quite outstanding. We had dinner here with friends and the dishes were amazing, accompanied by a chilled bottle of Chablis, it really made me feel as if it was a part of... the classic Russian movie. More

In Transit: Notes from the Underground

Jun 06 2018.

Spend some time in one of Moscow’s finest museums.

Subterranean commuting might not be anyone’s idea of a good time, but even in a city packing the war-games treasures and priceless bejeweled eggs of the Kremlin Armoury and the colossal Soviet pavilions of the VDNKh , the Metro holds up as one of Moscow’s finest museums. Just avoid rush hour.

The Metro is stunning and provides an unrivaled insight into the city’s psyche, past and present, but it also happens to be the best way to get around. Moscow has Uber, and the Russian version called Yandex Taxi , but also some nasty traffic. Metro trains come around every 90 seconds or so, at a more than 99 percent on-time rate. It’s also reasonably priced, with a single ride at 55 cents (and cheaper in bulk). From history to tickets to rules — official and not — here’s what you need to know to get started.

A Brief Introduction Buying Tickets Know Before You Go (Down) Rules An Easy Tour

A Brief Introduction

Moscow’s Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city’s beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. The first lines and tunnels were constructed with help from engineers from the London Underground, although Stalin’s secret police decided that they had learned too much about Moscow’s layout and had them arrested on espionage charges and deported.

The beauty of its stations (if not its trains) is well-documented, and certainly no accident. In its illustrious first phases and particularly after the Second World War, the greatest architects of Soviet era were recruited to create gleaming temples celebrating the Revolution, the USSR, and the war triumph. No two stations are exactly alike, and each of the classic showpieces has a theme. There are world-famous shrines to Futurist architecture, a celebration of electricity, tributes to individuals and regions of the former Soviet Union. Each marble slab, mosaic tile, or light fixture was placed with intent, all in service to a station’s aesthetic; each element, f rom the smallest brass ear of corn to a large blood-spattered sword on a World War II mural, is an essential part of the whole.

The Metro is a monument to the Soviet propaganda project it was intended to be when it opened in 1935 with the slogan “Building a Palace for the People”. It brought the grand interiors of Imperial Russia to ordinary Muscovites, celebrated the Soviet Union’s past achievements while promising its citizens a bright Soviet future, and of course, it was a show-piece for the world to witness the might and sophistication of life in the Soviet Union.

It may be a museum, but it’s no relic. U p to nine million people use it daily, more than the London Underground and New York Subway combined. (Along with, at one time, about 20 stray dogs that learned to commute on the Metro.)

In its 80+ year history, the Metro has expanded in phases and fits and starts, in step with the fortunes of Moscow and Russia. Now, partly in preparation for the World Cup 2018, it’s also modernizing. New trains allow passengers to walk the entire length of the train without having to change carriages. The system is becoming more visitor-friendly. (There are helpful stickers on the floor marking out the best selfie spots .) But there’s a price to modernity: it’s phasing out one of its beloved institutions, the escalator attendants. Often they are middle-aged or elderly women—“ escalator grandmas ” in news accounts—who have held the post for decades, sitting in their tiny kiosks, scolding commuters for bad escalator etiquette or even bad posture, or telling jokes . They are slated to be replaced, when at all, by members of the escalator maintenance staff.

For all its achievements, the Metro lags behind Moscow’s above-ground growth, as Russia’s capital sprawls ever outwards, generating some of the world’s worst traffic jams . But since 2011, the Metro has been in the middle of an ambitious and long-overdue enlargement; 60 new stations are opening by 2020. If all goes to plan, the 2011-2020 period will have brought 125 miles of new tracks and over 100 new stations — a 40 percent increase — the fastest and largest expansion phase in any period in the Metro’s history.

Facts: 14 lines Opening hours: 5 a.m-1 a.m. Rush hour(s): 8-10 a.m, 4-8 p.m. Single ride: 55₽ (about 85 cents) Wi-Fi network-wide

Buying Tickets

• Ticket machines have a button to switch to English.
• You can buy specific numbers of rides: 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, or 60. Hold up fingers to show how many rides you want to buy.
• There is also a 90-minute ticket , which gets you 1 trip on the metro plus an unlimited number of transfers on other transport (bus, tram, etc) within 90 minutes.
• Or, you can buy day tickets with unlimited rides: one day (218₽/ US$4), three days (415₽/US$7) or seven days (830₽/US$15). Check the rates here to stay up-to-date.
• If you’re going to be using the Metro regularly over a few days, it’s worth getting a Troika card , a contactless, refillable card you can use on all public transport. Using the Metro is cheaper with one of these: a single ride is 36₽, not 55₽. Buy them and refill them in the Metro stations, and they’re valid for 5 years, so you can keep it for next time. Or, if you have a lot of cash left on it when you leave, you can get it refunded at the Metro Service Centers at Ulitsa 1905 Goda, 25 or at Staraya Basmannaya 20, Building 1.
• You can also buy silicone bracelets and keychains with built-in transport chips that you can use as a Troika card. (A Moscow Metro Fitbit!) So far, you can only get these at the Pushkinskaya metro station Live Helpdesk and souvenir shops in the Mayakovskaya and Trubnaya metro stations. The fare is the same as for the Troika card.
• You can also use Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Rules, spoken and unspoken

No smoking, no drinking, no filming, no littering. Photography is allowed, although it used to be banned.

Stand to the right on the escalator. Break this rule and you risk the wrath of the legendary escalator attendants. (No shenanigans on the escalators in general.)

Get out of the way. Find an empty corner to hide in when you get off a train and need to stare at your phone. Watch out getting out of the train in general; when your train doors open, people tend to appear from nowhere or from behind ornate marble columns, walking full-speed.

Always offer your seat to elderly ladies (what are you, a monster?).

An Easy Tour

This is no Metro Marathon ( 199 stations in 20 hours ). It’s an easy tour, taking in most—though not all—of the notable stations, the bulk of it going clockwise along the Circle line, with a couple of short detours. These stations are within minutes of one another, and the whole tour should take about 1-2 hours.

Start at Mayakovskaya Metro station , at the corner of Tverskaya and Garden Ring,  Triumfalnaya Square, Moskva, Russia, 125047.

1. Mayakovskaya.  Named for Russian Futurist Movement poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and an attempt to bring to life the future he imagined in his poems. (The Futurist Movement, natch, was all about a rejecting the past and celebrating all things speed, industry, modern machines, youth, modernity.) The result: an Art Deco masterpiece that won the National Grand Prix for architecture at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. It’s all smooth, rounded shine and light, and gentle arches supported by columns of dark pink marble and stainless aircraft steel. Each of its 34 ceiling niches has a mosaic. During World War II, the station was used as an air-raid shelter and, at one point, a bunker for Stalin. He gave a subdued but rousing speech here in Nov. 6, 1941 as the Nazis bombed the city above.

Take the 3/Green line one station to:

2. Belorusskaya. Opened in 1952, named after the connected Belarussky Rail Terminal, which runs trains between Moscow and Belarus. This is a light marble affair with a white, cake-like ceiling, lined with Belorussian patterns and 12 Florentine ceiling mosaics depicting life in Belarussia when it was built.

Transfer onto the 1/Brown line. Then, one stop (clockwise) t o:

3. Novoslobodskaya.  This station was designed around the stained-glass panels, which were made in Latvia, because Alexey Dushkin, the Soviet starchitect who dreamed it up (and also designed Mayakovskaya station) couldn’t find the glass and craft locally. The stained glass is the same used for Riga’s Cathedral, and the panels feature plants, flowers, members of the Soviet intelligentsia (musician, artist, architect) and geometric shapes.

Go two stops east on the 1/Circle line to:

4. Komsomolskaya. Named after the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, this might just be peak Stalin Metro style. Underneath the hub for three regional railways, it was intended to be a grand gateway to Moscow and is today its busiest station. It has chandeliers; a yellow ceiling with Baroque embellishments; and in the main hall, a colossal red star overlaid on golden, shimmering tiles. Designer Alexey Shchusev designed it as an homage to the speech Stalin gave at Red Square on Nov. 7, 1941, in which he invoked Russia’s illustrious military leaders as a pep talk to Soviet soldiers through the first catastrophic year of the war.   The station’s eight large mosaics are of the leaders referenced in the speech, such as Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century prince and military commander who bested German and Swedish invading armies.

One more stop clockwise to Kurskaya station,  and change onto the 3/Blue  line, and go one stop to:

5. Baumanskaya.   Opened in 1944. Named for the Bolshevik Revolutionary Nikolai Bauman , whose monument and namesake district are aboveground here. Though he seemed like a nasty piece of work (he apparently once publicly mocked a woman he had impregnated, who later hung herself), he became a Revolutionary martyr when he was killed in 1905 in a skirmish with a monarchist, who hit him on the head with part of a steel pipe. The station is in Art Deco style with atmospherically dim lighting, and a series of bronze sculptures of soldiers and homefront heroes during the War. At one end, there is a large mosaic portrait of Lenin.

Stay on that train direction one more east to:

6. Elektrozavodskaya. As you may have guessed from the name, this station is the Metro’s tribute to all thing electrical, built in 1944 and named after a nearby lightbulb factory. It has marble bas-relief sculptures of important figures in electrical engineering, and others illustrating the Soviet Union’s war-time struggles at home. The ceiling’s recurring rows of circular lamps give the station’s main tunnel a comforting glow, and a pleasing visual effect.

Double back two stops to Kurskaya station , and change back to the 1/Circle line. Sit tight for six stations to:

7. Kiyevskaya. This was the last station on the Circle line to be built, in 1954, completed under Nikita Khrushchev’ s guidance, as a tribute to his homeland, Ukraine. Its three large station halls feature images celebrating Ukraine’s contributions to the Soviet Union and Russo-Ukrainian unity, depicting musicians, textile-working, soldiers, farmers. (One hall has frescoes, one mosaics, and the third murals.) Shortly after it was completed, Khrushchev condemned the architectural excesses and unnecessary luxury of the Stalin era, which ushered in an epoch of more austere Metro stations. According to the legend at least, he timed the policy in part to ensure no Metro station built after could outshine Kiyevskaya.

Change to the 3/Blue line and go one stop west.

8. Park Pobedy. This is the deepest station on the Metro, with one of the world’s longest escalators, at 413 feet. If you stand still, the escalator ride to the surface takes about three minutes .) Opened in 2003 at Victory Park, the station celebrates two of Russia’s great military victories. Each end has a mural by Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, who also designed the “ Good Defeats Evil ” statue at the UN headquarters in New York. One mural depicts the Russian generals’ victory over the French in 1812 and the other, the German surrender of 1945. The latter is particularly striking; equal parts dramatic, triumphant, and gruesome. To the side, Red Army soldiers trample Nazi flags, and if you look closely there’s some blood spatter among the detail. Still, the biggest impressions here are the marble shine of the chessboard floor pattern and the pleasingly geometric effect if you view from one end to the other.

Keep going one more stop west to:

9. Slavyansky Bulvar.  One of the Metro’s youngest stations, it opened in 2008. With far higher ceilings than many other stations—which tend to have covered central tunnels on the platforms—it has an “open-air” feel (or as close to it as you can get, one hundred feet under). It’s an homage to French architect Hector Guimard, he of the Art Nouveau entrances for the Paris M é tro, and that’s precisely what this looks like: A Moscow homage to the Paris M é tro, with an additional forest theme. A Cyrillic twist on Guimard’s Metro-style lettering over the benches, furnished with t rees and branch motifs, including creeping vines as towering lamp-posts.

Stay on the 3/Blue line and double back four stations to:

10. Arbatskaya. Its first iteration, Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya station, was damaged by German bombs in 1941. It was rebuilt in 1953, and designed to double as a bomb shelter in the event of nuclear war, although unusually for stations built in the post-war phase, this one doesn’t have a war theme. It may also be one of the system’s most elegant: Baroque, but toned down a little, with red marble floors and white ceilings with gilded bronze c handeliers.

Jump back on the 3/Blue line  in the same direction and take it one more stop:

11. Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). Opened in 1938, and serving Red Square and the Kremlin . Its renowned central hall has marble columns flanked by 76 bronze statues of Soviet heroes: soldiers, students, farmers, athletes, writers, parents. Some of these statues’ appendages have a yellow sheen from decades of Moscow’s commuters rubbing them for good luck. Among the most popular for a superstitious walk-by rub: the snout of a frontier guard’s dog, a soldier’s gun (where the touch of millions of human hands have tapered the gun barrel into a fine, pointy blade), a baby’s foot, and a woman’s knee. (A brass rooster also sports the telltale gold sheen, though I am told that rubbing the rooster is thought to bring bad luck. )

Now take the escalator up, and get some fresh air.
