Visitors will soon be able to tour metro stations under construction at regular "open door" days, Acting Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said last week.
"Now residents of nearby neighborhoods can come and see how it's done" said Sobyanin, during a visit to one of the six new metro stations to be completed in 2014 on the north end of the Lublinsko-Dmitrovskaya subway line, MK.ru reported.
Special tours will be conducted for children so they "don't climb over fences on the construction sites," Acting Deputy Mayor Marat Khusnullin said, RIA Novosti reported.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
