| Moscow tube map with “proper names |
Considering that Bloggers Portraits are being shot in the studio located on the lower ground floor, that is underground, the theme of “alternative” thinking thus continues with this map of the Moscow underground (Metro). It is an amazing, beautiful, old place; the first line was built between 1932 and 1933 and went in operation in 1935. And while hardly anyone would consider offering alternative station interiors, the attempts to throw a new look at the stations’ names have been diverse and sundry. This is the most recent one, and I appended a bilingual metro map, too. The best translation, possibly, is that of Dostoevskaya station. Naturally, it commemorates the Russian author; however, the translators decided to render the name literally, hence it became Suitablyeatable.
Given Dostoevsky’s popularity in the recent years, “suitablyeatable” becomes him, too.
