Sorry, but that's not very impressive:
Country City Year Opened Maximum Service Frequency
Armenia Erevan 1981 3 min 30 sec
Azerbaijan Baku 1967 2 min
Belarus Minsk 1984 3 min
Bulgaria Sofia 1998 no report
Czech Republic Prague 1974 1 min 50 sec
Georgia Tbilisi 1965 2 min 30 sec
Hungary Budapest 1970 2-3 min
Poland Warszawa 1995 4 min
Russia Moscow 1935 1 min 30 sec
Nizhny Novgorod 1985 2 min
Novosibirsk 1985 3-5 min
St. Petersburg 1955 1 min 35 sec
Samara 1987 no report
Ukraine
Dnipropetrovs’k 1995 no report
Kharkiv 1984 2 min 30 sec
Kyiv 1960 1 min 35 sec
Uzbekistan
Tashkent 1977 2 min
(Budapest also has a small-profile underground line opened in 1897.)
It would appear that 90 seconds is the designed "practical" maximum service frequency.
