euronews Life – Moscow by metro
http://www.euronews.com/ In the penultimate episode of Russian life, euronews explores the capital Moscow.
We began with the city’s famous underground. Carrying over 7 million passengers a day, the metro is Moscow’s vital transport artery, and the best way to avoid the sometimes unbearable road traffic.
It was also one of the USSR’s most extravagant architectural projects, embodying the utopian idea of a bright Communist future. The original stations, built in the 1930s, are true underground palaces with marble walls, elaborate mosaics and cast bronze statues.
Most of the metro lines run through the city centre, which is covered with attractions. One of these is Arbat, one of the oldest surviving pedestrian streets, displaying diverse subcultures and lifestyles of the Russian capital.

One of the bronze sculptures — a dog that accompanies a frontier guard — is believed to bring good luck if you rub its nose. (Wikipedia) I know that students have to touch that nose before major tests for good luck. Just a custom among Muscovites
