> Moscow subway, while being very old, very deep and in supposed third world country

Moscow is not in a third-world country, in either sense of the word. It's not in a developing nation (colloquial contemporary use of the word), and it's not in a country that remained unallied with the US and Russia during the Cold War, which is the original meaning of the word.

I was going to mention this, too: Russia is definitively a second world country:)
