Description	Content
Article description: (`description`) This attribute controls the content of the `description` and `og:description` elements.	The world's busiest subway system and second only to Tokyo in the general rapid transit systems category, Moscow's Metro system is both an impressive feat of engineering and architecture, and an experience that can hardly be recommended on a regular basis. Though the plans for it sprang up back in 1880's, the city government hating all public works as a matter of principle, and ridiculously rich Moscow merchants being equally ridiculously tightfisted about anything that wasn't fueling their ego, led to the fact that it finally started being built by Stalin (actually by Lazar Kaganovich, then railways minister, but that's the fact that slips from most Westerners' attention) in 1935, when both the funds and workforce finally were available. The deep underground tunnels and stations were explicitly envisioned as bomb shelters for the people of Moscow, and the wisdom of this move was proved during World War II, when most stations served as such, and some were converted to house various important military installations—like Chistye Prudy station that was an Air Defense HQ.
