Historical Uses of the Metro
The Metro was Moscow's largest civilian public good. Spanning the entirety of the city, the Metro was the primary means of transport for many of the inhabitants living within and out of the city. Made of solid concrete foundations, the Metro was made to stand the hardships of its clientel for centuries; this design philosophy would prove itself a key element to the usage of the Metro as a nuclear bunker as the weaponry of WWIII continued proved unable to penetrate the Soviet subway system.

The Metro System
In the current era, the Metro system has since been adapted to fit to the needs of the survivors living within its cramped corridors. No longer used to transport people in metal trucks; tracks and stations have been repurposed as paths and homes. The safety provided by people banding together in subway stations overtime created communities that would eventually be able to go beyond simple survival. Some stations in the Metro have attempted to malleate the stations as well as they could in order to adapt to the living conditions present to their inhabitants. Some stations have been able to build small self sufficient farms of a nutritious fungus that grew on the walls of stations; turning it into a dryed substance that mimics tea. Other stations were able to errect actual enclosures for animals that they were able to bring from the surface before escaping to the Metro. Pigs, Chickens, even one or two cows were co-erced to live in the Metro where they are a huge boon and trading resource to those that live in those stations. Although many stations are far from their best condition, residents aim to make the best of the situation that they can.

Map
The map on this page was found by an intrepid explorer of the Metro lines. Throughout his journeys; he came upon a map maker who was once an architect of the Metro itself. His health was deteriorating, and because of his journeys, he had found himself in seclusion. Seeing the adventurer as a way of continuing his legacy, the map maker thrust the map into the hands of the adventurer, telling him to share this map with all those that needed a guiding point in the Metro. Upon returning to his home station, the adventurer got hastily to work, recreating the map on another scroll of paper for prospective adventurers in the future. The map provided by the map maker was indefinitely more accurate than the left over maps hastily scrawled onto the Metro station walls. The map above is a recreation of the original map made by the map maker.
