Фото метро Ботаническая попала в New York Times
Between 2014 and 2020, photographer visited more than 770 Soviet-era metro stations in 19 cities, creating a remarkable archive of architectural and artistic splendor.

He traveled the entire underground system, which includes Russia and extends out to other former Soviet-era cities, such as those in Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and Uzbekistan.

“My goal was to create as close to a full archive of the metros as I possibly could,” Frank Herfort wrote in an essay. He added: “Eventually I also visited a handful of cities whose metro systems, while not formally attributed to the Soviet Union, were either built or substantially altered during the Soviet era, or even partially built by Soviet architects and engineers. These included the metro stations in Bucharest, Budapest and Prague. I faced the same question in almost every city I visited: ‘Why are you photographing here?’” people would ask
