According to Wikipedia:
The first line was opened to public on May 15, 1935 at 7am[3]. The line was 11 km long, and included 13 stations. It connected Sokolniki to Park Kultury with a branch from Okhotny Ryad to Smolenskaya (the first Metro map is available here: [2]). The latter branch was extended by one station to Kiyevskaya in March 1937 (crossing the Moskva River by the Smolensky Metro Bridge). The construction of the first stations was based on other underground systems, and only a few original designs were allowed: (Krasniye Vorota, Okhotniy Ryad and Kropotkinskaya). Kiyevskaya station was the first to use national motifs. So there is possibily nothing available for before 1930.
