The magazine details the history of Moscow and its expansion since 1367, utilizing images, documents, and maps to do so. The magazine underscores that the decision to construct the Metro system was a great underaking, and outlines the processes behind planning, implementing, and building the various over-and-underground tunnels, as well as important stations. Spanshots of a few workers and their life stories are provided, as well as their motivations for helping with the Metro development. At the end of the magazine, a map is provided showing the built and in-development routes and stations of the Moscow Metro.
