Here's a site with some photos from a subway under construction in Moscow: russos.livejournal.com/697100.html#cutid1
The extension in question is in deep tunnels and has two stations. It was supposed to be finished by May 15th, but they're not quite done enough yet, and talking about an opening date of May 31st, or even June 12th. Note that there's no 8 month testing period. In fact, it's typical to open a line 2 weeks after the first clearance train runs, which includes a 1 week testing period of pre-revenue service while the finishing touches are being put on the stations. A big difference from the lengthy time between when a line looks done and when it's open for passengers that is found in the US.
