That is beautiful!

Wow!

Info from the field: it is kind of guarded by police very well, it was and still is a strategic in case of disaster.So it stays unvandalized

Imagine if you lived in a culture where people went "no, that's okay, we don't need ads here".

It's so strange how the Soviety Union and their many satellites built ornate, beautiful subway systems but wouldnt just feed their people.
AzgarOgly
Because feeding people is day to day expense. You build a subway once and can use it for decades showing everyone how great the country is.

New York underground

That could be 1982. It could be yesterday, I don't know.

You can really tell when somebody took pride in their work.

They deliberately built the metro very deep in Tbilisi to act as a bomb shelter, at least in the central stations.
HenryLongfellowIII
The US had the city of Tblisi targeted with two multi-megaton bombs.
semiAnonymousMe
ONLY METRO
Sauroctonus
It's like a subterranean Samarkand.
EMTMarv
Kazakhstan is much better transit then Uzbek
ImNoBorat
I didn't say that

Moscow underground.
igollum42
The Soviet underground represents both travel and shelter. A reminder of the greatness of Communism; the last view during a nuclear attack.
docneel
Moscow underground is also worth a visit
manamehar7
I studied in russia fr 6yrs.. Everytym i visited Moscow, i used th metro.. Always got down on some new station and got mesmerised always

St. Petersburg too, but I love how Moscow's stations get more and more modern art-y as you move away from the center.
AzgarOgly
Unfortunately, SPb and Moscow underground is polluted with advertisements.
melran
So Soviet

What's wrong with the existing piss & vomit deco of the much treasured London underground stations?

I hear stabbing is a big problem in London.

Only because guns are hard to get

If it was here it would be full of graffiti

What I was thinking as well.

At one station in Stockholm (Sweden) we have ugly naked men doing different poses :|

Public art in Sweden mostly sucks. :(

How did you get these pictures? The Uzbek police are crazy strict about photographing the metro
AzgarOgly
I am pretty sure you can arrange the taking pictures of the subway there. Especially if you are doing some article about beauty of //
AzgarOgly
Tashkent subway stations or something like that. They charge you some money, assign you an subway official to escort and review the material
DJ280Z
Why?
Bricklemeyer
Terrorism. There are police at the entrances and security cameras looking for people taking pictures
Bricklemeyer
Conversely, in the Russian metro they encourage photography and even have marked "Selfie spots"
AzgarOgly
They discourage photography but establish selfie spots there.
Bricklemeyer
I once spent a day going stop to stop, photographing the stations. Sometimes I went back and forth between couple to redo the pictures -
AttilaTheHungover
Is Uzbek's population mostly muslim? The decor is very islamic in style.
itscoldhere8monthsoftheyear
Yes, and they're a Turkic people as well.
asthmatherapeutics
Correct
LlamaLingo
Go to wikipedia, search for Uzbekistan and look at their flag.
alRakoun
I am tell they are very nosy people with bone in their brain.
BSPlissken
Muslim is a belief, Turkish is more accurate description. Heh
spetcnaz
That is why the poster explained it. You can be Muslim but not Turkic people.

How the fuck is this top comment ?

why?

I upvoted it just to spite you.

What’s wrong with it?

It's easier to Google the answer than ask imgur and wait for a possible answer
aBingoWouldBeNice
Because your comment, wondering why the current top comment is the top comment, should be the top comment?

Roughly 90% Muslims and 10% Christians.

Check out Samarkand, some of the best Islamic architecture around, I think.
nostalgium
Mughal Architecture. Well, Timurid at the time, but there's a lot of carry-over. Taj Mahal is an example of the same.
Sauroctonus
The colour scheme is quite distinct from that seen in India, though. Though I'm more familiar with India's Hindu architecture.
nostalgium
You should look up some Mughal stuff. It came to India via the Timurid dynasty - whose capital was Samarkand - and it's quite stunning.
Potera9
It's Turkish architecture. Arabs' is different.
eksbawks6
How Harab was he?
CPTWildBillKelso
Habibi!
cinderspires
where did op say arabs? turkish architecture is included under Islamic architecture too
LeSethX
The other person was clarifying the Uzbekistan is Turkish as many people assume Arabian to be the default for anything Muslim.

I was just clarifing things.
