@ButtWorldsMan I love their argument that "it's just one city the rest of Russia is a shithole"
It's like bro... Please show me one American city with a train station this beautiful and clean.

I've been contemplating the cleanliness habits of societies and their appreciation for beauty. It seems that as societies degrade, they let loose their standards of cleanliness and thereby, beauty. A vital society is one which wants to grow, and it is therefore not content to sit in its own filth.

True, it's also a great indicator of the local economic strength. A well-maintained city or suburb requires spending. When the economy of a city or country is struggling. Upkeep goes first in cost cutting. Or it could be a sign of corruption in the system. Why spend the money on maintenance when that money could go into the pokes of a bureaucrat

That subway is stunning.
