As sure as Mayakovskaya is one of the oldest metro stations, Park Pobedy is one of the newest. At 90 metres down, its said to be the deepest tube station in the world - it takes a full 10 minutes to ride the escalator up or down! I've done it! The station itself is unique in that it marked a conscious effort by metro designers to build something beautiful again after years of cheap, unattractive new stations and a new found confidence in the future. Park Pobedy means 'Victory Park' in english, owing to the enormous park-monument nearby and the Museum of the Great Patriotic War.
