Lviv Metro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lvív Metro (Ukrainian: Льві́вський метрополіте́н, romanized: Lvivskyi metropoliten, IPA: [ˈʎʋiu̯sʲkɪj ˌmɛtropol⁽ʲ⁾iˈtɛn]) is a rapid transit system that was planned in the city of Lviv in western Ukraine during the 1980s. During the early 2000s, the project was changed to utilize light-rail transport instead.[1]

History[]

In the 1960s, plans for the construction of a high-speed, partially underground tram were included in Lviv's promising master plan. Its design began in the late 1970s. First of all, it was planned to build two tunnels with the dimensions of the subway under the city center, and to bring them to the land routes. The second stage envisaged the construction of a third tunnel from through the Citadel, Bandera Street and the railway station to . In 1987, the first land section was built from to . Underground construction began with the construction of the first ventilation shaft in the courtyard of the Potocki Palace, which damaged the surrounding buildings.Therefore, given this, as well as the financial crisis of the late 1980s, the project was frozen.[2][3]

Schemes[]

As there are plans for the prospects of building a subway, you can find several variants of the Lviv metro scheme on the Internet. For the most part, they are not of official origin, but only created by enthusiasts.

Internet meme[]

"Lviv Metro named after Stepan Bandera” is an Internet meme that appeared in 2008 in the community of Ukrainian LiveJournal “”, which grotesquely ridiculed Russian chauvinism and Ukrainophobia. It was later distributed by other parody projects of this genre, in particular, "PDRS".

According to the legend, the subway was built by the Banderites during the Nazi occupation of the city during World War II using Russian slave labor. The subway, named after Stepan Bandera, continues to be used to torture members of this people, as well as the Orthodox of the Moscow Patriarchate.[4][5]

Two metro lines (in different versions of the scheme, red and black, or yellow and blue) have the shape of tryzub. There are 13 "stations":

  1. Banderivska, where drugs are tested on russians;
  2. Independent, where borscht is being made out of kidnapped babies;
  3. Hitler's, where Orthodox priests are mocked;
  4. Konotopsika, where tortures are carried out;
  5. Shevchenkivsika, where tortures are carried out;
  6. Lemberzika, where the metro management office is located;
  7. Nato's, which houses a training center that teaches torture;
  8. Babo-Paraskivska (in honor of Baba Paraska), the purpose of which no one knows;
  9. Border's, where Russians who tried to cross the Polish-Ukrainian border are taken;
  10. Donetsika - a distributor where victims are taken;
  11. Crimean, where crematorium works to burn the remains of victims;
  12. Ukrainian, on which gas chamber is located;
  13. Happy, where there are lounges, showers and a movie theater for employees [6][7]
