With two decks and a sportbridge, the GTX80 has a sprawling open layout that ensures guests feel connected to the sea. The main deck salon, for instance, has glazing that extends below the lateral walkways to ensure a view of the water even from the sofas. Another new development in the nearly full-beam saloon is the hybrid galley-bar, which connects the indoor lounge with the outdoor cockpit.

As for accommodation, the yacht is equipped with four comfy cabins that can sleep up to eight guests. It also has discreetly hidden crew quarters that can sleep two. The guest cabins are clad from top to bottom in sky-blue leather paneling and dotted with sculptural furniture, while the adjoining bathrooms are fitted with metallic lacquered panels. This contrast of finishes continues throughout the rest of the interior, with leather sofas in warm hues and cozy woods juxtaposing the colder metallic accents. Integrated lighting doubles as another striking design feature.

The exterior is nothing to sneeze at, either. The nifty stern platform can be moved to three different positions using the dual linear lift function: It can be raised to expand the aft living area, lowered to launch tenders, or left in the default position to function as a waterside lounge. At the opposite end, the foredeck is equipped with an oversized sun pad. To top it off, the sundeck spans nearly 250 square feet and is 60 percent larger than the category average.

The all- new Pershing GTX80 is another milestone in the GTX series headlined by the spectacular 35m Pershing GTX116, launched to great acclaim in 2023. With razor sharp styling and blistering performance delivered by 3000hp, this worthy sister is an 80ft masterpiece of elegant engineering, oozing with the Pershing DNA to deliver an aerodynamic masterpiece that breaks the style sound-barrier.

Her widebody but super-sleek hull can accommodate 8 guests in 4 (en-suite) staterooms plus crew cabin for two with optional layouts on offer for the main deck and the lower cabin configurations. Even more customisation comes with two styles of interior finishes, light mood or a darker mood. From the aft cockpit, aft galley and bar you have just one deck level to the helm position. A dramatic feature as you step on board is the whole deck level is bathed in natural light from the extensive glazing which also gives 360 degree vistas.

This all-new 26m model is completely built in GRP and Carbon Fibre with luxury teak decks. The ample beam of 5.86m expands the transom into a resort-sized beach club; all the space and refinements you could wish for are all here for you. The Main Deck is the focus of innovation in the new GTX80 and extends across two levels, the first designed for outdoor life in contact with the sea and the second for socialising and conviviality. For your water sports there are two water toys (tender and jet-ski) on aft deck for easy launch and recovery and to relax there is a secluded and private bow seating area with optional Bimini. On the upper deck the GTX80 has a roomy flybridge that can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests.

Performance

While the performance data is yet to be published, the power specification at this point in time shows a triple engine configuration. The three 1000hp Volvo's with IPS 1350 drives promises a startlingly fast yacht! The GTX80 has a RINA Class Certificate for Pleasure Yachts. RCA Category A classification.

Here Comes the Pershing GTX80

• By Yachting Staff
• February 5, 2024

As with all Pershing models, the GTX80 is designed to offer a memorable ride. It’s a planing boat powered by triple 1,000-horsepower Volvo Penta D13 IPS1350s. According to the shipyard, the top speed based on preliminary data is 34 knots, with a cruising speed of 28 knots.

Beam on the new model is about 19 feet, with two decks and a sportbridge. There are four staterooms to accommodate eight guests, along with a crew cabin with two berths.

The Pershing GTX80 is a collaboration among the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Vallicelli Design, and the group’s engineering department. The hull was built at the Ferretti Group Plug and Mold facility.

In terms of design, the Pershing GTX80 has a near-vertical bow and a continuous, slightly convex sheerline. Bulwarks in the bow section are lightened by a longitudinal slot, while those in the stern have a dual function, incorporating the winches and converting into lateral terraces that swing down to allow for additional guest access to the water.

The stern platform has three different positions. There’s the standard default position; it can be raised to extend and integrate with the living area and open lateral terraces when they’re open; or it can be positioned for tender launch and retrieval.

Up top, the Pershing GTX80’s sundeck is nearly 250 square feet, which the builder says is 60 percent larger than the category average. There’s an arch-shaped deckhouse along with an optional carbon fabric hardtop that Pershing calls a “real novelty” as a way to lighten up the superstructure.

Inside, the galley-bar is open on the main deck, integrating it into the lounge area. It also opens out onto the cockpit, enhancing the indoor-outdoor experience. Lacquered ceiling panels and metallic silver paint are used in the décor, along with diagonal LED lights for what Pershing says is “uniform light diffusion across the entire deck.”

This hull of the Pershing GTX80 also has a master stateroom that is, top to bottom, leather paneling described as cloud-effect sky blue. All the heads have metallic lacquered panels on the walls.

Where does the skipper sit? There’s a raised helm station in the bow with 360-degree visibility, thanks in part to a windshield with no central pillar and extensive glazing. A sunroof above the windshield can be opened for natural ventilation.

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. For more information, contact a Pershing 140 sales professional or explore our inventory of Pershing 140 for sale .

Three years in Moscow

This blog was commenced in late 2011, at the beginning of a three year posting to Moscow. I returned to Australia at the end of 2014. My intention was to provide a pictorial commentary on my observations of Moscow, a city most people in Australia know little about. The blog has now been wound up and there will be no more entries. Nor will I respond to any more comments. Thanks for visiting.

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.

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.
