The metro is like a separate city, with its own streets and intersections, open spaces and restricted areas. We descend there every day—and know practically nothing about it. How do new trains get to the depot? How are tunnels dug under rivers and residential areas? Where do legends about ghost stations come from?

This book is your guide to the underground universe. You'll learn how the metro came to be and what it might become in the future, what happens underground at night, and what lies behind the closed doors of the depot. You'll understand how traffic safety is ensured and what to do in emergency situations—for example, if you fall onto the tracks. The book will explore the engineering achievements of metro builders and the role the metro plays in modern urban culture.

The book features numerous color photographs, including those taken in restricted areas of the metro, and illustrative diagrams.

Your guides will be Ksenia Kiseleva and Yegor Timoshenko, creators of the "Metro NN" project. For many years, they have been exploring the metro from the inside: from design archives to nighttime tunnels and restricted areas.
