Metro passengers in Russia took a step back in time when they donned vintage Soviet Union era clothing as part of an educational project by the Moscow Underground.

History enthusiasts showcased military and civilian garbs on Line 1 of the underground as part of the Night on the Metro cultural and educational project.

The clothing was from both the pre- and post-World War II periods and was provided by the Severny Vokzal/Vauxhall Nord club.

The remarkable pictures show a re-enactment of a time long thought past.

Many of the men wore military uniforms complete with medals while some women wore furs, with one pictured with a fox draped around her neck.

One man, dressed in an grey blazer, white trousers and black hat, even appeared to have an old-fashioned newspaper folded up in his pocket.

And a picture of a train carriage revealed what life would have been like for Moscow commuters in days gone by, with passengers seen chatting away as they waited for the train to reach their destination.

The volunteers showcased their historic apparel on November 3 in front of impressed crowds, who snapped pictures on their phones.

From Russia with love: These volunteers looked the real deal with historically accurate accessories to go with their clothing. The women clutched handbags while one of the men sported an old-fashioned moustache
