I've ridden on those a lot!  Cool transfer table.

Yeah---good system. Impressive how deep the stations are. The one at Kreschatik seems like its miles underground.

I'm due to head over there soon but I think we're going to delay our trip to the fall.  My grandparent's home is only about 700m from the protests.  Not a great time to travel there

Remember they were built to double as bomb and later atomic bomb shelters.

Is it just coincidence that the first time I open a Russian website, my security software reports an attempted "malicious software attack"?  Reading the tech news, it seems that Russia's three main high-tech industries are hacking, viruses, and credit card fraud.

yes it is.....Comrad Putin wanted you to be re-directed to a pr0n site 
 (which apparently is another of Russia's industries)

Fortunately the pr0n I can ignore, so if that was the only problem, I'd be happy.  It has to be invited in...

Unrelated:  Back when Google was new, I tried a search for "red dwarf stars", stars smaller than our Sun, as part of an astronomy project.  The results were the most amazing collection of vertically challenged underdressed Russian actresses...  Not exactly the "heavenly bodies" I was looking for.
