decided to read the book again, and noticed this detail in chapter one (thats why im not putting a spoiler tag).

so, one guy mentions alexeyevskaya was slaughtered and they blew up a tunnel after it just in case, people assume it was the dark ones. but how can they have reached alexeyevskaya without going trough VDNKh? if Artyom is correct the dark ones enter the metro trough the botanical garden station, putting VDNKh between the two stations. unless the dark ones used some unkown tunnel or passage, this would not make sense. furthermore, they mention that after the atack on alexeyevskaya they decided to blow up the tunnel. that would isolate VDNKh and Artyom would not be able to reach rizhkaya station. am i missing something here?
