The history of the construction of the Moscow metro has recently begun to raise doubts among people. This is due to the fact that today, with modern technological capacities, huge cranes, jacks, trucks and everything else, they cannot achieve such a shock pace of construction. A striking example. In Moscow, in 2 years, they built the same length of land that has been built in Yekaterinburg for the last 40 years.
Perfect finishes, architecture and fresh air flow from good ventilation are old metro stations built in a short time.
In Yekaterinburg, the construction of the metro began in 1980, there are 9 stations, the length of the track is 12.7 km. And in Moscow from 1933 to 1935:
Today the version is becoming popular that the metro was not built, but dug up. Let's try to find inconsistencies in the official version.
In the official version, the reason for the venture was traffic jams, they began to build because it was a necessity, not a whim. They began to dig under the guidance of a person who had no special education and knowledge; he hired 7 workers in sheepskin coats and felt boots as assistants. For the first time, the shovels were borrowed from local janitors. 8 horses and 1 truck were sent to help the builders. This is probably in order to remove the accumulated soil. Having no plans or estimates, the workers begin to dig an inclined passage.
Although initially, within the framework of the official historical concept, it was planned to build an overground metro, but for some reason they began to move underground. What for?
Then a young engineer came and proposed to build an underground passage, 35 meters deep, and they did so, then specialists, mining engineers, miners arrived and began to dig. The tunnels had already begun to be dug, and geologists were running around the yards, that is, without maps and without the data of geologists, work had already begun.

When asked why we have built the most beautiful metro, the official version answers in such a way that there was not enough capacity for the production of tiles, so everything had to be finished with marble. Why not start tile production? A reasonable question. And where did they get so much marble from?
That is, because of traffic jams, they decided to dig the subway, they decided to do it above the ground, but they send seven people to dig an inclined passage. For construction, 1 truck is initially allocated, the capacities are ridiculous. Is it possible to build such a large-scale facility with such equipment. But looking for old tunnels and checking old plans, yes. And after they found several tunnels, the project of the overground metro was changed to an underground one, projects of underground stations appeared. They are already approaching the problem more thoroughly, bringing in miners and mining engineers and other specialists.
As for industrial and building design, it also does not fit, a country that has lived through hard times would create all this unnecessary beauty.
The rate of penetration of a double-track line using modern methods is 150-300 m / month, excluding the project, geo-base, the stations themselves and the sewage system with working infrastructure. And then escalators were bought, disassembled, copied, assembled and installed in general 20 days before the opening in the 35th year. Those. 446 meters per month, including excellent stations, geosub, project, mechanisms, communications.
Some metro stations resemble luxurious palaces, including those that were open from the very beginning. And some are very primitive. The beauty of the stations correlates little with the opening times. The obvious antique styles of some stations are also interesting, in which characters from another era are absurdly inscribed.
And the last question, if they have unearthed it, why hide it? Then we would have to deny that our ancestors walked in bast shoes, and only knew how to use shovels from tools, but here is an underground city trimmed with marble, not built with a shovel. So there were technologies, people would start asking questions, where did the technologies go? Where is the knowledge?
