November 4, Moscow. On National Unity Day, the "Matryoshka of Moscow" media installation presented an updated program dedicated to the diversity and uniqueness of Russia's peoples.

That evening, residents and visitors to the capital enjoyed a unique multimedia show, unparalleled anywhere in the world. According to Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport, over 30 new animated scenes with 3D graphics were prepared for visitors to Zaryadye Park, reflecting the natural and cultural riches of our country.

Recognizable symbols of Russia came to life on huge screens:

🔹 Gzhel-style owl🔹 Arctic polar bears🔹 the bountiful harvest of the southern regions🔹 the majestic mountain peaks of the Caucasus🔹 Yakut bone figurine – a talisman of the North

For the first time, the "Matryoshka of Moscow" was presented in images symbolizing the unity and identity of the peoples of Russia.

"The innovative 'Matryoshka of Moscow' attraction is unique in the world. It's not just a tourist attraction, but a new platform for digital art.

Each element was hand-drawn to showcase Russia's natural and cultural riches—from the Far North to the Caucasus," said Maxim Liksutov.

The new program emphasizes the idea of a united Russia, where culture, technology, and art come together to create a modern image of a country that values traditions and is inspired by the future.

The Moscow Metro has approved the architectural concept for the Klenovy Bulvar station on the Biryulyovskaya Line.

Its appearance will echo that of the nearby Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve.

The dominant design element will be arches, positioned to create continuous perspectives throughout the entire ensemble. The composition will achieve a sense of unity and openness.

The station's name will be reflected in its decoration. For example, aluminum maple leaves will be laid on the track walls, and a similar pattern will appear on the floors in the vestibules.

Construction workers are currently erecting the enclosing structures at the future station site, conducting excavation work, and constructing foundation pit supports. Construction is underway on the right-hand tunnel between Dream Island and Klenovy Bulvar.

The Biryulyovskaya Line will include 10 stations. Completion of its first section, from ZIL to Kuryanovo, is scheduled for 2028.

Maxim Liksutov reported that an acoustic booth has been installed at the Komsomolskaya transfer hub, which connects metro stations, the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD), and major train stations. A second one has been installed at the Nizhegorodskaya transport hub. The booths are available free of charge until the end of the year.


Acoustic booths have been installed in the Moscow Metro.

The acoustic cabins are designed for one person. They feature: 1) USB and Type-C ports for charging devices; 2) a workstation; 3) adaptive lighting; 4) ventilation that provides a constant flow of fresh air.


Acoustic booths have been installed in the Moscow Metro.

The sound-damping materials in the acoustic booths have already passed all tests. The door is made of translucent glass, preventing anyone from seeing into the user's device.

You can rent booths in two ways: by pre-booking your desired time slot in the new acoustic booth rental service's mobile app, or by using time slots starting from 15 minutes on-site. To do this, scan the QR code on the booth door or posters.

"In today's world, people work from anywhere, not just in offices, and it's important for us to follow this trend. That's why we're starting to test acoustic booths in the metro. If needed, people will be able to work or make phone calls in silence. We're choosing booth locations that will be popular but won't disturb passengers. If these quiet spaces prove popular, we'll introduce them at other stations. We're continuing to launch new, convenient services on public transport, as instructed by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin," said Maxim Liksutov.

Moscow Metro – In 2027, a unique park will appear in Moscow on the site of the outdated monorail

According to the project, this will be Russia's first year-round promenade park at a height of 6 meters. The plan is to create a modern, comfortable space for sports, family recreation, and gatherings with friends. A four-kilometer running path will run along the park, both in both directions.


In 2027, a unique park will appear in Moscow on the site of the outdated monorail.

The area will connect five districts—Ostankino, Alekseevsky, Timiryazevsky, Marfino, and Butyrsky—home to over 300,000 people. The city's new pedestrian artery will connect VDNKh Park, Ostankino Park, the Botanical Garden, and Timiryazevsky Park into a single route, and, of course, offer stunning views of our beloved Moscow.

Five of the six monorail stations will be reconstructed into two-story pavilions. Two dismantled monorail trains will also be on display in the park.

The Moscow Monorail was built over 20 years ago. In recent years, it operated solely as a guided tour system, effectively losing its transportation function following the opening of the Moscow Central Circle (MCC), the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro line, and the development of surface urban transport.
