MOSCOW METRO ©Margarita Fedina Th ©Margarita Fedina ©Margarita MOSCOW METRO Stations of the Moscow Metro — "underground palaces of Moscow" — make one of the main sights of a city. They are distinguished by a really palatial magnificence of vestibules and underground halls. Stations of the capital Metro are the monuments of architecture inseparably linked with history of Moscow and the whole country in which all stages of development of national architecture were embodied. "Mayakovskaya" is considered one of the most beautiful stations. "Revolution Square", "Kropotkinskaya", "Komsomolskaya" (belt-line), "Novoslobodskaya" and others are considered the most interesting architectural monuments of 1930—50 th . Over twenty kinds of marble, labradorite, granite, porphyry, rhodonite, onyx and other breeds of building stone were used in Moscow Metro construction. Underground complexes are decorated by statues and reliefs, monumental and decoration compositions (painting, mosaic, stained-glass windows and lists) of art directors of the country. Architects and builders of Moscow underground aspired to create not only comfortable conditions for passengers, but also to give an individual shape to each station. * Information from "Touristic Information Center" Ticket type Period of validity Price (RUB) Tickets for a limited number of rides: 1 ride 40 5 days, incl. day of purchase 2 rides 80 5 rides 160 11 rides 90 days, incl. day of purchase 320 20 rides 540 Smart cards for unlimited number of rides: 1-day smart card 24 hours after the first activation 210 All tickets and smart cards purchased in ticket offices are non-returnable and non-exchangeable. www.engl.mosmetro.ru .

Besides, the metro map shows the long-awaited station ”Alma-Atinskaya” on the Zamoskvoretskaya line and the station “Pyatnitskoye shosse” in the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Foreword from the head line. The future of Moscow transport system is unthinkable without development of the metro, which plays a key role in the city’s public transport of Moscow Metro system. The Moscow Metro management carries out all the changes planned and appointed by the Moscow Government by paying as much attention to the demand of Muscovites and guests of the capital as possible. By 2020, 67 new stations are planned to be constructed. At present, we prioritize the construction of the Exterior interchange circuit line with the phased commissioning of line sections, the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line from station “Maryina roshcha” to the northern areas of the city by 2015. Also the construction of the new Kozhukhovskaya line from the station “Aviamotornaya” to the station “Nekrasovka. By 2017, the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line will be formed and operated between the station “Novokosino” and the districts, Solntsevo and Novo-Peredelkino.

    Ali R. Baghirzade Master of economics Junior researcher of the research Institute "Innovative Economics" Plekhanov Russian University of Economics Moscow, Russia e-mail: [email protected] MODERN RISKS OF SMALL BUSINESSES Abstract An important area of anti-crisis public administration is the development of small businesses. They are an important part of the economy of developed and developing countries, provide employment for a significant part of the population and tax revenues to budgets, and contribute to increased competition and the development of entrepreneurial abilities of citizens. Therefore, the primary task of the state Federal and regional policy is to reduce administrative barriers and risks, time and resources spent on opening and developing small businesses, problems with small businesses ' access to Bank capital [8], etc. Despite the loud statements of officials, administrative barriers to the development of small businesses in trade and public catering are constantly increasing, including during the 2014-2016 crisis. Key words: risks, business, crisis, economics, regional economics, public finance. Until 2010, the most common type of small business was non-stationary objects of small-scale trade - car counters, trays, tents, etc. In accordance with the decree of the government of Moscow of January 27, 2004 No. 29-PP "on regular measures to streamline the operation and placement of small-scale retail facilities in the territory of Moscow", they are established without registration of land and legal relations, i.e. without guarantees of long-term operation. For these objects, the permit document for the right to trade is "permission to place an object". The absence of a lease agreement for a land plot under a non-stationary object meant that it could be moved to another less passable place at any time or completely closed.

The first underground railway line opened 70 years ago on 15th May, 1935. Enthusiasm and efforts of thousands of workers made the dream about building palaces for common people come true. Since then Moscow metro has become an integral part of the Russian history and several generations of Russians. I would like to congratulate our staff on the occasion and express my gratitude for their attachment to work making Moscow metro most quick, reliable and comfortable kind of transport. We have approached the anniversary with significant achievements. On September 2, this year we opened a new long awaited exit from Mayakovskaya station (the first stage of old stations upgrading programme) and on September 10 Delovoy centre station featuring the most modern architectural style. Besides cutting red ribbons in this jubilee year we have made most significant improvements over the past few years developing and introducing new technologies and equipment. In May we opened the so-called “Situation centre” being the first of such kind in the world which accumulates real time information from the whole metro system. Information may be communicated via specially designed red-and-blue emergency (help) panels being installed in all metro stations. Pressing the knob on the panel passengers are immediately connected with the Situation centre operators.
