  RUSNET :: CIS Today :: 2004/04/21 :: Architects: Grandest Metro Faces Collapse
The Mayakovskaya metro station, where Stalin famously threw a party during World War II, is in dire need of repair and faces collapse if top-to-bottom renovations aren't carried out soon, the daughter of the station's designer and other architects warned.
Mayakovskaya, which opened in 1938, gained instant plaudits for its design of ribbed steel, red and fl marble columns supporting 36 oval cupolas and its colorful ceiling mosaics.
She said metro officials are in talks with City Hall and the federal government, which together oversee the subway system, on what kind of work needs to be carried out but conceded that the talks have been going on for a long time.
