Moscow Metro Makes Masks Glamorous Again

As Russia recently reinstated a national mask mandate and the nation battles a record-breaking second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the Moscow Metro decided to get creative with its public health advert urging Muscovites to protect themselves and follow public health regulations.
