In order to avoid frequent air raids by enemy planes, it acts as a natural and reliable air-raid shelter, saving millions of people from fascist massacres, and more than 200 small lives have descended on the subway. When the German fascists invaded the former Soviet Union, the waiting hall of Kirov Station became the communication hub of the former Soviet Union's supreme commander. The Moscow Metro transported batches of troops to their destinations around the clock, making great contributions to the victory of the war. In 1941, the October Revolution celebration meeting of the former Soviet Union was held in the waiting hall of Mayakovsky Station. The soldiers who were inspected went to the battlefield immediately after being inspected. After the Second World War, Moscow also built a secret special subway. Its main task is to maintain and guarantee the work of the Central Committee of the former Soviet Union. During the war, it is convenient for state leaders to move in the city and ensure their personal safety.
