It can make sense to remove art from its context, but romanticizing Soviet underground stations should always involve some humility to the sacrifice involved. Those stations cost phenomenal amounts at a time when much of the population was starving. The laborers that built them were pushed mercilessly, suffered terribly, and many died. To anyone who understands how those structures came to be they must be seen as monuments to human folly and misery.
