The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

University protests

Trump's hush money trial

April 22, 2024 - Protests at Columbia and other schools escalate

Matt Egan, Alicia Wallace and Chandelis Duster

Democratic House members tour Columbia campus

From CNN's Chandelis Duster

Democratic Reps. Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Dan Goldman of New York and Kathy Manning of North Carolina, who are all Jewish, spoke at a news conference Monday after touring Columbia University’s campus. 

"We saw it firsthand as we walked past the encampments on the university's main lawn full of protesters spewing incendiary antisemitic hate and vitriol. Many aren't even Columbia students I've been told. Their campaign of intimidation is sickening and shocking and as the White House said yesterday, ‘echoes the rhetoric of Hamas terrorists,'" Gottheimer said. 

He also criticized Columbia University leadership, saying, “toothless combinations from administrators aren't going to stop the anarchy we’re seeing.”

“The only way to do it is with deeds, not words,” Gottheimer said. “Colleges have a legal obligation under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to provide students, including Jews and Muslims, a school environment free from discrimination and harassment based on race color or national origin. Yet just feet from here, Jewish students are being verbally and even physically assaulted.”

Gottheimer continued, “To the administrators of Columbia and beyond, here are our demands: Stop the double talk and start acting now. Discipline harassers, restore civility on this campus, encourage peaceful constructive dialogue.”

He also gave a message for students: “While the leadership of Columbia may be failing you, we will not. We will do everything in our power to keep you safe and do everything in Washington we can to make sure that you feel welcome at this university or any university across the United States of America. And Columbia University, if they don't follow through, will pay the price.”

Goldman said he was "encouraged" the Columbia University president issued guidelines about additional security, calling it a "very important first step" and criticized what is happening on campus.

"That is unacceptable for a university, that is unacceptable for an academic institution. There is no question that everyone has a First Amendment right to speak out in this country and that must be preserved," Goldman said. "But a university and all universities have an obligation to maintain the safety and security of their students from all backgrounds."

Manning said university leadership should "do more to keep Jewish students safe and to re-establish an atmosphere in which all students can learn, study and participate safely in campus life."

"Columbia must also move forward with its promised efforts to teach its students and its faculty about the nature and history and dangers of antisemitism. It must ensure that Columbia professors are not encouraging and spreading antisemitism," Manning said.

"I call on the US Department of Education and the US Department of Justice to work with the White House to ensure that all universities take steps necessary to keep Jewish students and faculty safe. I also call on Congress to enact legislation to implement the steps outlined in the US national strategy to counter antisemitism, to address the scourge of antisemitism which is a threat to the foundations of our democracy," she said.

President Joe Biden condemns antisemitism on campus

From CNN's Kevin Liptak

President Joe Biden decried antisemitic protests around college campuses Monday and said his administration was working to combat anti-Jewish hatred.

"I condemn the antisemitic protests, that’s why I’ve set up a program to deal with that," Biden said when questioned about the events at Columbia University in New York.

"I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians," he said, without expanding upon what he meant.

Biden was speaking after an Earth Day event in Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia.

When asked whether Columbia's president should resign, Biden appeared to mishear: "I didn’t know that. I'll have to find out more," he said.

Protesters gather outside NYU's Stern School of Business

From CNN's Elisabeth Buchwald

Roughly 200 pro-Palestine protesters have gathered outside New York University's Stern School of Business, with some pro-Israel protesters waving Israeli flags across the street. 

More than a dozen NYPD officers, as well as campus security, were at the site. Campus security have been seen asking for student identification to get onto the school campus from the sidewalk. A nearby encampment included about 10 tents.

Some of the protestors were heard chanting, “Intifada, intifada, globalize the intifada.”

Protesters were also reciting lines and singing songs from the Haggadah, the Jewish book used during Seder. A person who identified themselves as a Jewish student at NYU was leading some of the songs. 

"This morning, some 50 protesters began a demonstration on the plaza in front of the business school," NYU spokesperson John Beckman said in a statement. "This occurred without notice to the University. There are some additional picketers on the public sidewalk in front of the plaza."

Beckman added that access to the plaza has been closed and classes are carrying on.

"The University is committed to minimizing disruption to its academic mission; preventing escalation and violence; and precluding hate, harassment, or threats directed at any member of the NYU community," he said. 

"We are addressing this issue with urgency."

NYU is located in Greenwich Village in the borough of Manhattan.

The Jewish Theological Seminary chancellor on its partnership with Columbia

From CNN's Samantha Delouya

In a statement, the chancellor of The Jewish Theological Seminary, Shuly Rubin Schwartz, said she was "shocked and horrified" by the unfolding protests at Columbia University.

JTS, which is just blocks away from Columbia, has partnered with the university for more than half a century to offer a joint degree program through Columbia's List College, which combines a religious and liberal arts education.

"Ensuring the safety and well-being of the JTS community is always our top priority," said Schwartz, who said JTS has been in close communication with Columbia's public safety team, the NYPD, other Jewish organizations on campus and the university's administration.

Schwartz said the unrest on campus is rooted in a broader issue: "The breakdown of constructive discourse and the inability to understand and respect differing viewpoints."

"The morphing of what might be legitimate debate into the worst and most aggressive forms of antisemitic expression is horrifying for us as Jews and as Americans," she said. "It must be unequivocally condemned, and it is particularly antithetical to everything that our universities teach and foster."

Schwartz said she has had meetings with Columbia President Minouche Shafik over the past several months and the two have built "a relationship of trust, honesty, and open dialogue."

Rep. Jared Moskowitz: "This level of hatred would never be allowed on any college campus"

Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat, was one of several lawmakers who walked across Columbia University on Monday to stand in solidarity with Jewish students. 

“I should be with my family today for Passover. Instead, I’m here at Columbia University standing with Jewish students who are being harassed because of their Judaism,” Moskowitz, who is Jewish, said in a statement. 

“On the eve of Passover, I stand with the Jewish students and their families against the antisemitism displayed on campuses around the country. Every Jewish parent knows that, if this was any other minority group, this level of hatred would never be allowed on any college campus. If the President of Columbia wants to know what not to do, she should call the former Presidents of Harvard and UPenn."

US House Committee on Education & the Workforce to Columbia: "The time for talking is over."

From CNN's Robert Ilich

The US House Committee on Education & the Workforce, chaired by Republican North Carolina congresswoman Virginia Foxx, on Monday called on Columbia President Minouche Shafik to take immediate action to the protests in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Republican-led committee, which includes Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, called on Shafik to "order law enforcement to clear out the unlawful encampment of antisemitic protestors, as well as "expel the students involved," and "terminate the Columbia faculty involved."

The committee added: "The time for talking is over."

In a letter to Shafik , as well as Claire Shipman and David Greenwald, the co-chairs of the school's Board of Trustees, the committee wrote they were "gravely concerned by the ongoing chaos at Columbia University caused by the radical, unlawful Gaza Solidarity Encampment, which has now entered its fifth day. The encampment and related activities have created a severe and hostile environment for Jewish students at Columbia."

NY Governor: "Every student deserves to be safe"

From CNN's Robert Ilich, Taylor Romine

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul posted a video Monday from the Columbia campus in New York City, where she addressed safety concerns.

"This morning I went to Columbia University and convened City Hall, NYPD & Columbia’s President to discuss the need to fight antisemitism and protect public safety," Hochul posted on X , formerly known as Twitter. "The recent harassment and rhetoric is vile and abhorrent. Every student deserves to be safe."

Hochul said her "No. 1 responsibility (as governor) is to keep people safe and that's why we came up here today."

She said in her conversations she emphasized the need to protect public safety and provide security, but also protect people's right to peacefully assemble and have freedom of speech.  

“I was once a student protestor,” Hochul said. “But I’ve never seen a level of protest that is so person to person, and so visceral. And I’m calling on everyone – people need to find their humanity. Have the conversations, talk to each other, understand different points of view because that’s what college students should be doing.” 

Columbia reposted her post, and thanked the governor, “the First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, the NYPD, and the many government leaders who have reached out to offer their support.” 

Yale says "peaceful protest taking place"

From CNN's Raja Razek, Robert Ilich

A Yale University spokesperson confirmed to CNN on Monday that protests on the school's campus in New Haven, Connecticut, have been "peaceful." Yale said the school had given protestors multiple attempts to speak with university officials.

The school issued the following comments in a statement:

"Today, members of Yale’s police department isolated the (protest) area and asked protestors to show identification; some left voluntarily. When others did not comply after multiple requests, the Yale Police Department (YPD) issued summonses to 47 students, according to the most recent report from the chief of YPD. Students who were arrested also will be referred for Yale disciplinary action, which includes a range of sanctions, such as reprimand, probation, or suspension.

"The university made the decision to arrest those individuals who would not leave (Beinecke) Plaza with the safety and security of the entire Yale community in mind and to allow access to university facilities by all members of our community.

"Yesterday, President Peter Salovey sent a  message to the community , noting that the university would not tolerate behavior that interfered with university operations or threatened, harassed, or intimidated others."

Hedge fund billionaire backs Columbia’s president, blasts students protesting Israel as "f***ing crazy"

From CNN's Matt Egan

Hedge fund billionaire Leon Cooperman, a prominent Columbia University donor, is offering support for the Ivy League school’s embattled president even as he continues to blast students protesting against Israel.

“My view is that finally they are doing the right thing at the school …The administration is now responding properly,” Cooperman told CNN in a phone interview Monday. “The president is now saying the right things.”

Cooperman, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants, doubled down on his recent criticism of student protestors.

“These kids are f***ing crazy. They don’t understand what they’re doing or what they’re talking about,” he told CNN.

In October, Cooperman  threatened to halt donations  to Columbia, a threat that he says prompted Columbia President Minouche Shafik to reach out to him.

During a phone call with Shafik, Cooperman said he told her: “Can you imagine anyone criticizing the United States after Pearl Harbor?”

Cooperman said he has decided to continue to donate money to Columbia University if the funds only go to supporting Columbia Business School, which he graduated from.

“She is doing what she has to do,” Cooperman said of Shafik.

However, Cooperman said the “kids” protesting against Israel at Columbia “are out of control” and “have to be controlled.”

Referring to people who are antisemitic, Cooperman said: “F*** them all.”

A group called the Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine posted a  statement  on social media on Monday saying the movement has been “peaceful” and expressing frustration with “media distractions focusing on inflammatory individuals who do not represent us.”

“We firmly reject any form of hate or bigotry,” the statement said.

A Burlesque Family at Home

Showbiz couple angie pontani and brian newman’s high-spirited marine park house..

Everybody knows that we love old things,” says the burlesque artist Angie Pontani, who is showing me the exuberant, family-hand-me-down-filled Marine Park house in in Southeast Brooklyn she shares with her husband, the musician Brian Newman, and their 8-year-old daughter, Sistilia. “And if you give me something, I can’t get rid of it.”

“That was my aunt Livia’s,” Pontani notes, pointing out the armchair in the living room, “from when she got her first apartment in the ’80s.” Pontani and Newman had it reupholstered in leopard. The matching ottoman, from her aunt Norma, dates from the 1940s. The bedroom set was her parents’. The chandelier is from Grandma Mary, “who brought it back from Italy in the ’50s,” she says. “There’s also Great-grandpa Paul’s office chair from his restaurant, Casa Lido, in Trenton.”

The dining table was her great-grandmother Sistilia’s; even their daughter’s name is an heirloom. “It’s a super-old-school name,” Pontani says. “It loosely means ‘sixth-born,’ like when they name you after a number. But it’s such a pretty name.” Some of what they have inherited were her father’s flea-market finds. “Growing up, this is one of the things that my dad would do every Sunday morning. We’d get up at five and go, and we’d just search for cool stuff.”

Pontani and Newman moved here in 2019 after living together in her apartment in Kensington. Her nephews were upstairs in the same building; family is important to Pontani. She is “100 percent Italian, born in Trenton, New Jersey,” she says, where every-one in her neighborhood was related and knew one another. Her family, she adds, “are very traditional,” but her father liked to paint and had what she describes as “extreme style,” including in home décor. She takes after him.

Pontani had always wanted to be in show business. But after a year in the acting program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, she grew bored and dropped out. While working at a Tribeca café, she met a group of performers from The Dutch Weismann, “one of the first true revival burlesque shows in the city in the mid-’90s,” she says. Pontani signed on. “The show had dancing and singing and, of course, burlesque, but I didn’t even know what it was at the time. I couldn’t have cared less about stripping, but it brought out natural skills that I didn’t know I had in terms of costuming, choreography, and production.” (She was the co-producer of the New York Burlesque Festival from 2002 to 2023.)

Newman, a trumpeter and singer from Cleveland, moved to New York in 2003. He found music gigs on Craigslist. “I did hip-hop bands, I did Latin bands, I did jazz bands — literally, any gig that had a trumpet I would take.” He met Lady Gaga while bartending at St. Jerome on the Lower East Side; she was a go-go dancer and party promoter at the time. Later, he co-produced the track “La Vie en Rose” with Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born and was also the bandleader, arranger, and trumpeter on two albums by Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett .

Newman met Pontani when he answered a Craigslist ad that said “trumpet player wanted for burlesque troupe.” But he played it so cool on their first date — a Mets game in the best seats he could buy — that she wasn’t sure it was a date. Four years later, their friend the comedian Murray Hill urged them to go out again. They married in 2013.

Now, Newman is the music director of Bruno Mars’s club, the Pinky Ring, at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. He and Pontani also have a residency in Vegas at the Nomad Library called “Brian Newman After Dark,” which Newman describes as “really a throwback to the old lounge vibes of Louis Prima in the main showroom with Frank Sinatra.”

“The biggest thing” about being a burlesque performer, Pontani says, “is this self-ownership of your sexiness, of your femininity, and you display it any way you want to in a satirical way.”
