Russian Authors Are So Cheery

Do they have an Anna Karenina station too?
The opening of a Moscow Metro station named after Fyodor Dostoevsky has been postponed after complaints that murals decorating the platform walls are too depressing. The images, drawn from the 19th-century novelist’s works, could prompt depressed commuters to kill themselves, critics say.

It's hard to really relax
as the train clacks by on steely tracks
and you contemplate dying by ax.
