The subway in East Berlin didn't look like the one in Moscow, in Berlin it was built by the Nazis in the thirties (also Wikipedia says that the trains in the Pyongyang metro came from East Berlin -
these are a bit different from the wagons in Moscow https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyongyang_Metro https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyongyang_Metro )
- jpatokal 9y agoThe subway in East Berlin was formerly (and is now again) part of the Berlin U-Bahn, which predates Moscow's metro by a good 30 years. So while in a Communist country, it's not really a Communist-era metro.
