— During the war, nearly three thousand Moscow metro workers went to the front. Many of them died in battle. Others helped the country on the labor front or continued to transport people. Today in the Severny region there is a stele bearing the names of deceased metro workers. Moscow Deputy Mayor Maxim Liksutov said: “We will continue to honor the memory of those who fought for peace in difficult times and were subjected to inhumane trials.”
On May 6, the deputy mayor of the capital said that near exit No. 1 of the Mayakovskaya metro station and in the entrance hall of the Kurskaya station, memory walls were installed with the names of Moscow metro workers who defended their country during the Great Patriotic War.
