Over the Summer, Smith’s new home has made several features on her personal Instagram , drawing viewer’s attention to other property features such as her airy stone ensuite, spacious walk-in robe, and high, sky-lit ceilings.

The family are enjoying their new home.

The ensuite bathroom is worthy of the price tag.

Prior to her move, the social media personality sold her family’s former Brighton East house for $3.455m in June, accruing just under $1 in profit from the original $2.475m purchase price in 2019.

Smith and Miller’s former home boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious open-plan living area, and gourmet kitchen – opening out onto an alfresco dining area and resort-style pool.

Their luxury living style has only been furthered, thanks to Smith’s immense social media success. Retaining an Instagram following of 1.4m, her online presence is only growing thanks to her company Keep it Cleaner . Her husband also works as a content creator, withholding his own hefty follower base of 104k.

Following her recent move, and self-admitted unpacking duties to fulfil, audiences can likely expect more tidbits to come from her new luxury home. Her influencing work has, evidently, paid off!

G Flip Slid Into Steph Claire Smith’s DMs W/ A Request To Star In Her Music Vid

Natasha Harding

In case you haven’t heard, Aussie music talent G Flip (full name: Georgia Flipo ) and drop-dead gorgeous Keep It Cleaner founder, Steph Claire Smith , are pretty good mates tyvm.

Their #goals friendship first started when low-key fangirl G Flip – who just sold out her Aus tour and secured a place at Groovin’ The Moo – slung Steph a mention in the intro of her brand-spankin’ new song ‘ Drink Too Much ‘.

Then Georgia slid into Steph’s DMs and, since then, the duo has even teamed up to create Georgia’s new kickass music video, out today:

Here, PEDESTRIAN.TV talks to G Flip about her new toon, an unlikely friendship and bangin’ music video.

P.TV: What inspired ‘Drink Too Much’? 

G: A few years ago, I used to go out quite a bit. At the time, I’d been recently dumped, I was lonely and I was young and dumb. I was drinking and partying a lot to get over a break up that smashed my heart.

I wrote ‘Drink Too Much’ after a big night out. I came home close to lunchtime the next day (hence the lyric ‘I wanna be out til lunch’) and I had a few hours to kill before a family event. I started writing the song on bass and piano and recorded it rough on my voice memos.

P.TV: Was there anything you had to overcome to write and release the song? 

G: My songs are like an open diary, I just write how I feel and what’s on my mind at the time without overthinking anything. I also write my lyrics the same way I would talk in everyday life.

I’m a real perfectionist when it comes to my music so I really wasn’t in a rush to get the track out even though it was written a few years ago and I had my crappy bedroom demo sitting with me, I would never want to release anything until it was the best version of itself.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BukNY1Gn6bh/

P.TV: Why did you choose to mention Steph Claire Smith at the beginning of the song? What is it about Steph?

G: What isn’t it about Steph?! Have you seen her!? Nah, but seriously, I would see her around Chapel Street all the time when I wrote it. I was working as a DJ on Chaps at night and at a drum shop there by day. On my lunch break, I’d always walk past her and I was like, should I write a song about this?!

P.TV: How did Steph wind up featuring in the music video? 

G: I slid into her DM’s on Insta. Literally didn’t think I’d get a reply. First I wanted to show her the song, so I let her hear it before it was released and then I told her about this film clip idea I had. The reply from her was ‘Hey legend – love the song! It’s epic! Would love to chat more about it’. I read her reply and f@#!ing lost my sh!t.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BuANokEnnt5/

P.TV: If you could give your younger self any advice about this song and video, what would it be and why?

G: The advice I would give myself is: drinking and partying to get over a break up doesn’t really work. Focusing on goals and improving yourself is the way to go. I was a loose unit for like two years before I got my shit together and realised that.

P.TV: How did you come up with the idea of how your music video would look?

G: I remember when I was making my original bedroom demo of ‘Drink Too Much’ a few years ago I was sitting there just thinking, ‘I have to get Steph in this film clip if I ever release this song’. I also thought it would be entertaining to see her dressed like me as a massive tomboy.

With that being the OG concept I then wrote a little storyline a few months ago, that Steph and myself were neighbours and that some of my boxes (with my drums and clothes in them) got delivered to her instead of me. I presented this concept to my team and Steph and we made it happen.

To hear more from G Flip and Steph Claire Smith, grab your tix to PEDESTRIAN.TV’s Selfish Weekend presented by the House of Angostura  this  March  16 and 17th at  Sydney ‘s  La Porte Space, where both boss lasses will be having their own up-close-and-personal sessions.

Home Tours by DIY Blinds Ep7

Capture the Light

Steph and Josh wanted to usher in gentle rays, diffuse harsh sunlight and frame the property’s picturesque views–all with family-friendly ease, of course. DIY Blinds motorised Laconia Air sheer linen curtains in the colour Swan ticked every box and add a softness to the space.

Comfort Meets Convenience

The couple recently became parents and knew that anything they could do to make life easy was a wise move. Their automated curtains and blinds let them control the light levels with the simple push of a button keeping the fabric spotless and the experience seamless.

Family-Friendly Style

All families know that durable window furnishings a are non-negotiable. As well as being soft and sumptuous, linen’s natural fibres are also long-lasting, making them the perfect addition to large and lively homes.

Dark and Dramatic

For the home theatre, DIY blinds colour matched Block Out Roller Blinds to the expansive walls and layered them with softening Sheer Curtains in Centennial Charcoal. Motorised blinds provide the ultimate cinematic experience with a click of the play button the blinds descend creating an immersive theatre ambience and adding a noise-dampening feat.

Pamper in Privacy

Not every room demands a view – privacy was understandably a top priority for the bathrooms, which Steph and Josh achieved with Blockout Roller Blinds. The neutral Sanctuary Plaster colour blends seamlessly into the window surround and allows for a barely-there appeal when open.

Bedroom Bliss

Light control is essential for quality sleep, not to mention luxurious weekend lie-ins! Motorised Block Out Roller Blinds in Sanctuary Plaster grace the bedroom windows, while Sheer Curtains in Laconia Air Swan continue up towards the heritage cornices to accentuate the soaring ceilings–even in rooms where the windows stop short.

50 Questions with Steph Claire Smith

“One thing I get complimented on when people meet me is that I’m exactly what they expected…” – Stephanie Miller

There is no underestimating Stephanie Miller (neé Steph Claire Smith) – and those that try only seem to provide fuel on the fire for her drive to succeed. Successful swimwear model, an Instagram account with 1.6 million followers, and the co-founder of two globally recognised lifestyle brands: Keep It Cleaner and Soda shades – Steph’s undoubtedly an interminable force. But despite her continual evolution, she remains loyal, open, honest, laidback and grounded – hallmark qualities that keep her followers coming back for more.

With Steph recently in Sydney for the launch of Bondi Sands’ Aero Ultra Dark launch – a brand in which she has long been the face of – we managed to snatch her away for a quick chat in between ambassador duties. Here, she gives us the lowdown on everything that’s going on in her life: from her recent wedding to husband Josh Miller, career highlights, and why she’s afraid of the ocean [yes, you heard that correctly].

1. Age? 26 2. Height? 176cm 3. Best beauty product of all time? I’m going to go with the Bondi Sands Body Moisturiser as my favourite product. It’s just the best moisturiser I’ve ever come across… 4. Five beauty products you can’t live without? An eyebrow gel, a lip balm – because my lips are always dry, moisturiser, sunscreen, and mascara 5. Hair “done” or messy? Messy more often than not. Even when I do it, I try and make it messy because I like that messy-done look 6. Favourite fragrance? I have two and they’re on complete opposite spectrums when it comes to price. One is the Maison Francis Kurkdjian from Mecca and the other one is still one of my favourites and is the Britney Spears Fantasy . I’ve been wearing it since I was 12! 7. Favourite item of clothing? My activewear 8. Favourite fashion brand? Soda ! 9. Gym or exercising outdoors? Gym 10. Snow or sun? Sun, always sun

11. Favourite food to indulge in? Chocolate or cheese. It’s very even my love for them both 12. First thing you pick from the mini-bar? Usually a chocolate bar or a Coke Zero. I’m a sucker for a Coke Zero 13. Favourite hobby? Watching movies 14. A strange fact about you that followers might not know? I like to eat the ends of chicken bones… and I always have. When I was younger and was getting braces, they were going through the foods I couldn’t eat and one of the things they said was, “Also, you can’t chew on chicken bones” and I started crying. My mum can attest to that! 15. Biggest fear? The ocean, which is one I’m working on because I’m near it a lot. I’m not really comfortable with waves or deep ocean water. I think it’s because I grew up going to the river and not going to the beach so much, so the ocean is so unknown to me. But the river water, which my friends are terrified to get in because it’s brown, for me – I dive straight in and have no cares in the world. I guess it’s because of what I grew up with 16. Instagram or YouTube? Instagram 17. Thoughts on TikTok? It’s fun! I’m still trying to work it out, but I’m having a lot of fun. I’ve found that I do have to be in the mood for it though. If I want to create something, I have to be in the mood – you can never force a TikTok 18. Iphone or camera? iPhone probably, just for ease. I find that because my Instagram page doesn’t have to be too curated, I like the more real and raw stuff that I capture on my iPhone over the camera 19. Lightroom or VSCO for editing? I don’t edit using either of those. For filters, I use Colourtone by Bonnie Cee – I’ve been using that for filters ever since she brought it out 20. What’s your favourite filter on Colourtone? I make up my own. I pick one and then play around with all the different lighting and then save them – I then always go back to the ones I’ve saved

21. Favourite way to edit pics? Lots of light and no retouching – I like keeping it really fresh 22. Favourite photographers to work with and why? I love Josie Clough from It’s Now Cool . She’s a good mate of mine as well, so we always have a ball. She’s just got an eye for getting an amazing shot. I also like working with Ren Pidgeon . We use him all the time for KIC [ Keep It Cleaner ] shoots because he’s just a joy to be around and he’s a really talented photographer 23. Model, influencing, or brand founding? Brand founding for sure. I’ve loved being a model and obviously influencing has been super fun working with different brands, but I think owning my own brand and being able to watch something like that grow is super rewarding. Especially with something like KIC where so much comes back to us and it’s just the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done – absolutely brand founding for sure 24. Will we see you launching more brands? No, no, no – I’ll definitely stick to KIK and Soda ! Everything outside of that is coming more to a minimum because I’m just so keen to spend all my time on my babies. I have big plans and great ambitions for both brands so you won’t see any more, no! 25. So you’re not going to get into more clothing design? I get to dabble in it sometimes if I get to collab with someone and I know a few friends are doing it and I’m so excited to support them, but I have no interest in doing a clothing brand 26. How did you first get your start in Instablogging? I first thought it was a filter app and I would just get those images and put them on Facebook. But once I worked out that it was a profile, it was really just so friends and family could keep in touch and see what I was getting up to in the modelling world. And then my following just started gradually growing. It’s been a very steady growth. Whilst it’s a huge number now – it’s been a steady growth over the last seven years. I’ve just been going along for the ride 27. What’s your top Instagram tip? Be yourself. Don’t try and make your account or feed look like anybody else’s. If there’s something out there that already exists, why would someone follow you? You’ve got to find your difference and what’s unique to you – and I think an Instagram account always comes across as authentic when it is showing your authentic self 28. How much time do you put into a normal picture? Not much. I used to, but now I’ll just take a couple of snaps and pick the best one out of that. The filter thing is really quick, and then I just pop it right up. I’m not really too structured with the way I post – I like to just post in the moment. Some days I won’t post at all and some days I’ll post three photos. Very spontaneous! 29. Career highlight? For me, when Laura [Hemshaw] and I relaunched KIC on our own and had our own team and relaunched the app by ourselves – that is definitely one of the biggest achievements I’ve ever had in my career. Without a doubt, nothing beats that! 30. Career lowlight? Probably when I was full-time modelling back in the day and I was living in New York and it wasn’t going the way I had always dreamed of and thought it was going to go. I wasn’t with an agency over there that believed in me or wanted me to be me – and that was a real lowlight. Although, I learnt a lot and it has actually turned out to be the best thing that ever happened because I learnt so much about myself and was able to turn it around – but at that point, it was a big low. I was 20 when I was living there and if it wasn’t for the contracts I had going on in Australia that brought me back every now and then, there is no way I could have stayed there and given it a real crack. It was a low point, but I don’t regret it

31. Best campaign you’ve ever worked on? That’s a really hard one – there’s so many! I really loved my latest Adidas campaign that just came out, we went and shot it in LA and I felt very spoilt and very special. I’m just really lucky because all the brands I’ve aligned myself with and have stayed loyal to – half the reason is because I have so much fun on set creating each of their campaigns. Every single Bondi Sands campaign I have fun on, every single Bras n Things campaign I feel amazing on set… there isn’t really a stand-out particular one, they’ve all been fun 32. Worst thing that has happened to you on a photoshoot? I had a really uncomfortable situation when I was younger on a photoshoot where the owner made me twirl so he could check out my body to know what clothing to put me in – and it felt very uncomfortable. I’ve never worked with them again obviously, but that’s probably the worst thing that has happened to me on a shoot. Other than that I’ve been really lucky, I’ve heard some horror stories of working with horrible people. I’ve had blunt photographers and rude stylists before without a doubt, but [twirling for the owner] was definitely the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been on a set 33. The best gift you’ve ever received as an influencer? Probably the gift of getting to travel. The trips I’ve been able to take overseas with friends or with Josh have been priceless – so that’s definitely my absolute favourite thing that comes with the job 34. Last thing you googled? We just did a new KIK post on the bushfires and I was writing some stuff in the description, so it was probably Wildlife Victoria’s website. That was probably my last Google search to be truly honest 35. Favourite film? I have a few, but probably ‘I love you man’. It’s hilarious – it’s my favourite 36. Favourite book? I’m going to be really corny and say the ‘Twilight’ series 37. Favourite travel destination? One of the most magical places I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been lucky enough to go there twice, is the Maldives 38. Most Instagram-worthy spot? Any Australian beach 39. Top three essentials to pack when traveling? My runners so I can do a workout, my sunscreen, and my Keep Cup. I take it everywhere I go, I’ve been in a really good habit of doing it, I just keep it in my handbag. Last year I reckon I only used two takeaway coffee cups and I plan to make it zero this year – so that’s one thing I don’t travel without! 40. Going out clubbing or quiet dinner with friends? Quiet dinner with friends

41. Best moment from the wedding? There’s so many! The ceremony was amazing, don’t get me wrong, but I was up until 4am dancing the night away with the majority of our guests. I honestly think that after dinner and after everyone’s beautiful speeches, getting to dance the night away with everyone and not having a time or noise curfew was the best part of the night 42. Siblings? I’ve got an older brother 43. What city are you currently living in? Melbourne 44. Celebrity/influencer crush? I’ve always had a thing for Zac Efron – I think from ‘High School Musical’ days for sure… 45. Pets? Yes, Ari Golddog is like my son – he’s human 46. What is your best asset? I think my dimples when I smile 47. Biggest misconception about you? That’s a hard one because I try and keep it really real over social media and I think I show so much of my own personality. One thing I get complimented on when people meet me is that I’m exactly what they expected 48. Top five Instagram accounts to follow? @therealjadetunchy , @keepitcleaner , @celestebarber … I really like following funny accounts, so I really like @theinspiredunemployed . I also love following my friend @samevanslife – he makes the most amazing content. Even before I was friends with him, I really enjoyed his content – seeing what he was up to and doing all his amazing things 49. Favourite quote you live by? A few, but I’ll go for the Dr Seuss one: “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” 50. Top career tip? Only launch something you’re super passionate about because there is going to be a lot of tough times ahead and a lot of hurdles – so unless you’re really passionate about what you’re doing, those hurdles might stop you in your tracks.

Fitness influencer Steph Claire Smith sells her Brighton East home

Emily Holgate, Property Journalist

Updated 2 Dec 2022, 8:25am

First published 2 Dec 2022, 7:00am

Model and influencer Steph Claire Smith has sold her Brighton East house.

Fitness influencer Steph Claire Smith and husband Josh Miller’s Brighton East home has gained almost $1m in three years.

The social media power couple, who combined have more than 1.6m Instagram followers, purchased the 1A Hopkins St pad in 2019 for $2.475m, according to CoreLogic records.

Since then, the pair welcomed their first child together — now one-year-old son, Harvey — and put the four-bedroom house on the market in May.

The Brighton East home features a resort-style swimming pool and alfresco dining area.

The Instagram influencer’s home sold for more than $3m in June.

While the Keep It Cleaner app and podcast founder declined to comment on the sale, she told her 1.5m Instagram followers last week she had fielded a number of questions about their decision to move, which she explained “she wanted to keep private”.

But the Melbourne-based influencer did reveal she and Mr Miller had “found their dream home” and were currently staying at her parents’ house until they moved.

The 692sq m property went under the hammer in June, when it sold for a huge $3.455m after a lengthy hour-long auction.

Gary Peer Caulfield North director Leon Gouzenfiter would not comment on the sale price but said it sold “comfortably a couple of hundred thousand (dollars) above reserve”.

“Four or five families competed and it was purchased by a local family that was very familiar with the area,” Mr Gouzenfiter said.

“They were happy to buy something that was really nice and not have to go through a build process, especially with the uncertainty of building prices.”

And huge walk-in wardrobe.

The recently-sold Brighton East digs was only built four years ago, originally as a display home, and boasts a number of stylish features — including a Caesarstone benchtop kitchen with a butler’s pantry, a resort-style pool and undercover alfresco dining space.

Three bedrooms, one with an ensuite, are found upstairs, while the main bedroom lies on the ground floor, featuring a glamorous ensuite and spacious walk-in wardrobe.

“It’s a very bright home with lots of glass, and it had really beautiful landscaping,” Mr Gouzenfiter added.

“The landscaping has now matured with established trees which makes it all very private … and the home itself was architect designed so it was done really well.”

Editor’s pick videos.

Steph Claire Smith went for a walk. Then she spotted a white van following her.

Recently, our very own Mia Freedman wrote a viral article, titled: 'Why can't we go for a f-ing run?'

The response was overwhelming. And it resonated with so many  women around Australia for a very good reason: At one point or another, we've all  felt unsafe going for a run . Taking a walk in the park . Making our way home from work or  coming home from a night out .

We all have a story where we've felt unsafe. Like something could go very wrong. 

That moment when we have to share our location with friends. Call someone. Run without music in our ears. Look over our shoulder. Be hyper-vigilant.

As Mia wrote:

"We cannot be more vigilant. It's not possible. What we need now is the help of men. We need them to take up this cause as their own, to help us with the load. We need them to know how it feels to hear footsteps behind you or have your cab driver take a wrong turn and immediately wonder, 'Is this it? Is it my turn now?'

If men could feel our fear, they could never live with it. Day in, day out.

They would refuse to.

We don't have the choice."

Watch: If a man lived as a woman for a day. Post continues below.

So when KIC co-founder Steph Claire Smith recently spoke about  this TikTok video — 'I'm a woman who likes to run...' — and shared her own experience of feeling unsafe while walking, her story seemed all too familiar.

Speaking with co-founder Lauren Henshaw on their podcast, KICPOD , the 30-year-old said: "There was one point for me, where I was walking daily and I had this route that I absolutely loved to go on at my old place where I used to live."

"There was one day that changed everything for me because I hadn't thought about changing up routes and stuff. And I often walked in the daytime and I lived near busy roads — so I just didn't think about it, really. I think I was just a bit naïve to it."

As Steph went on the share, the scariest part about this was that she was on the main road when it happened — which made her realise that it doesn't just happen on quiet streets. 

"I was walking along the main road, and this van drastically slowed down in the lane — and it was a four-lane main road," she told Laura. "I can remember that van like it was yesterday — this white, old wagon with curtains in the windows. It was super creepy."

"Anyway, this guy had his windows down, and he stared me down as he passed me. This road was meant to be going, like, 70km per hour and he'd slowed right down to about 40km and the person behind him tooted him."

"In that moment — and this is something I always do when I feel unsafe — I either instantly call Josh and just have him on the phone or I have triple zero dialled and ready on my phone to call if I need to. On this particular day, I called Josh, and I was like 'Can you stay on the phone? There's something weird happening.'" 

"I'm glad I called him because this van then did a U-turn — again, this is a four-lane main road and it was actually illegal what he was doing. He then drove down the street again, did another U-turn and then came and past me again, slowed right down and stared right at me as he did it."

"Then I was like, 'Okay Josh, I'd really like you to come and be with me', because my route then to get home was to go down the side street. The guy did it a number of times  — three or four times — and by this point, I'm crying and not wanting to make eye contact with him and like s**t scared," she shared. 

"Instead of doing a U-turn, the one time it's not available, he went down a different side street, to then pop back out and merge back onto the main road. When he did that, I ran down the side street, Josh pulled up and I got in the car. Josh walked to the main road to keep an eye out. He saw him and what we watched was the guy then looking for me and slowing down at every side street, looking down."

"Luckily, I was already in Josh's car, so he didn't see me — but Josh saw him and got his number plate. We went straight to the police and told them what had happened."

After her experience, Steph said it's completely changed the way she thinks about walking or running by herself.

"From that point, I have not walked the same route ever again and no matter where I've lived I've changed it up all the time and tried to be a bit more spontaneous about it — just different. And I am constantly either calling Josh when I'm feeling like that or having triple zero ready on my phone. And it's just s**t." 

A snippet of Steph and Laura's conversation was shared on Instagram, and the post garnered thousands upon thousands of likes and comments, with women around the world sharing their own personal experiences of feeling unsafe when going for a run or a walk.

One woman wrote, "This happened to me recently, just after the Ballarat murder incident. A ute with two men in it passed me three times, back and forth on a very quiet road, each time slowing down and staring at me. I was petrified and haven’t been on a road run since."

"I had it happen too many times to count, now I nearly exclusively only run with my dog (a big black bull arab, the most submissive dog I've ever met, but thankfully, not obvious unless you have a small dog with you lol). I also saved up and got a smartwatch with a sim card that activates an SOS text with my location details to my emergency contacts."  

The stories are endless — but one thing rings very clear: In 2024, women do not feel safe .

• Lift your right hand off the ground and tap your left shoulder. 
• Return to the high plank position, then repeat on the other side. 

9. Donkey kicks

Sets: 2 Repetitions: 45 seconds (on each leg) Rest: 15 seconds

• Start on all fours, with your hands directly beneath your shoulders and your knees directly below your hips. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine and maintain a straight line from your head to your tailbone.

• Squeeze your glutes (backside muscles) at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your leg back down. Don't let your right knee touch the floor before starting the next repetition by pushing your right foot back towards the ceiling.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Tour Details

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.
