Vorobyovy Gory station. Sokolnicheskaya line. Stockholm cave metro Post what station gallery

15. Which station is dedicated to the subway builders? "Komsomolskaya" Sokolnicheskaya line.

⁣The station is named after the square onto which its vestibule opens. Until 1932, the square was called Kalanchevskaya, but then it was renamed in honor of the Komsomol members - the builders of the metro (since 2003 it has been called Three Stations Square). In addition to the name, two majolica panels decorating the wall that completes the station’s balcony gallery are dedicated to the work of Komsomol metro builders (the galleries were needed to differentiate the incoming and outgoing flows of passengers of the large transport hub cities). The sketches of the panels were made by E. Lansere, an academician of painting since pre-revolutionary times, who was one of the leaders of the “World of Art” group. Panel "In the workshop of the machine and tractor station."

⁣Panel “Mining Mine”.

16.Which station has the most varied decorative finishes? "Novokuznetskaya".

The station was built during the Great Patriotic War, as soon as the capital ceased to be in danger.

It became a monument to Russian weapons. The station's pylons are decorated with powerful marble portals. Between them are massive marble benches with high backs and cantilevered armrests. In the central hall, on the axis of the portals there are bronze floor lamps with lamps. They illuminate six smalt mosaic panels on the vault of the central hall. Mosaics based on sketches by A. Deineka were collected by the artist V. Frolov, who was in besieged Leningrad. He died in 1942, and the mosaics were taken away Lake Ladoga. They were originally intended for the Paveletskaya station, but then the design of the station was changed, and mosaics decorated the vault of Novokuznetskaya, replacing the sky, as at Mayakovskaya. The compositions of the mosaics are dedicated to peaceful life - “Skiers”, “Aviators”, “Builders”, “Engineers”, “Steelworkers”, “Gardeners”.

In the lower part of the vault above the pylons there is a gypsum sculptural frieze depicting representatives of various branches of the Red Army: pilots, signalmen, tank crews, infantrymen, cavalrymen, etc. Between them are inserted images of the orders of the Patriotic War. On the inner walls of the travel halls there are bronze medallions with flags and portraits of the great Russian commanders: Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Minin, Pozharsky, Suvorov and Kutuzov.

⁣On the end wall of the central hall there is a marble panel reflecting the stages of development of the USSR. Six types of marble were used in the design of the station. High Quality. As a result, the station turned out to be quite overloaded with parts.

17. I continue the topic of stations built during the Great Patriotic War.
Many stations that were built during the Second World War acquired a military overtones in their design, although the original projects were dedicated to peaceful life. First of all, the “unity of the front and rear” was reflected.

For example, “Baumanskaya” is decorated with eight sculptures made of plaster, painted bronze, located in the niches of the central hall (“Metrostroevka”, “Red Army Soldier with a Banner”, “Red Army Soldier in a Camouflage Robe”, “Pilot”, “Partisan Woman”, “Commander”, "Worker", "Constructor").

⁣17. The appearance of the Elektrozavodskaya station was originally associated with the nearby Moscow Electric Plant.

⁣From this project, only six medallions with portraits of scientists - the founders of electrical engineering, decorating the hall of the ground lobby remained. Work on the construction of the station resumed only in 1943, and main topic the design changed - again it became “front and rear in the Great Patriotic War”. The walls of the central and travel halls are decorated with high reliefs, such as “Aircraft Builders”, “Tank Builders”, “Foundry Workers”, “Automobile Builders”, “Oil Workers”, “Women of the Electric Plant”, “Road Layers”, etc. (sculptor G. Motovilov).

The creators of Elektrozavodskaya were guided by the temples of classical antiquity, using simple and clear architectural forms, an order system (which also included high reliefs), and a clear rhythm of figures on the reliefs. On the ceiling there are 282 round lamps with the same incandescent light bulbs that the workers make in relief.

18. The theme of the decoration of the Semenovskaya station is the defense of the Motherland.

⁣On the end wall there is a high relief “Order of Victory” against the background of weapons and a banner with the inscription “Glory to our Red Army!” The vaults of the hall are decorated with images of various types of weapons - tanks, artillery pieces, aircraft, warships. On the walls of the travel halls there are medallions with profile images of Russian soldiers (Cossack, tankman, Red Army soldier, Red Navy man, pilot and scout) and cartouche shields with symbols of various branches of the military.

⁣18. The Avtozavodskaya station was originally called Zavod im. Stalin" and was intended to serve the workers of this plant.

Like other stations on the Zamoskvoretskaya line, it was completed during the war. The design of Avtozavodskaya repeats the design of Kropotkinskaya - two rows of thin columns supporting a beamless floor. The track walls are decorated with a mosaic frieze on the theme of the labor of Soviet people. These mosaics were made in Leningrad during the blockade in the same workshop of V. Frolov, where the mosaics for Novokuznetskaya were made.

Already during construction, they decided to add bas-reliefs with scenes of the defense of Moscow and the exploits of home front workers to the design of the track walls.

The escalator hall of the ground lobby is decorated with a marble panel “Russian Heroes”. The ceiling painting glorifies the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.

I’ve already written about the design of “Partizanskaya”.

In one of the next posts I will write about post-war stations dedicated to the Victory in the Second World War, the triumph and memory of Soviet soldiers.

To be continued.

On August 11, 1969, the Kashirskaya station opened. Initially, there were only two tracks at the station (second and third), providing traffic along the Gorkovsko-Zamoskvoretskaya line from " River station» to «Kakhovskaya». After the opening in 1984 of the section “Kashirskaya” - “Orekhovo” (later - to “Krasnogvardeiskaya”) with fork traffic, the first track was used. Thus, Kashirskaya is the first designed, but the last fully implemented cross-platform interchange in the Moscow metro. precisely the latter, since the Park Pobedy station cannot yet be called a fully completed project.

And on January 3, 1971, one and a half cross-platform transfer stations opened in the Moscow metro. Why one and a half? On that day, two Kitay-Gorod stations and one Tretyakovskaya station - the southern hall - were opened.

Since then the development of the hub at Kitay-Gorod was expected in the very near future, it was decided to build two stations. But due to the fact that the corresponding radii were not introduced immediately, this station became fully operational only in December 1975.

But the construction of the second Tretyakovskaya was supposed to be in the distant future. Therefore, one station and 4 groups of ramp cameras were built to switch traffic. The diagram shows how traffic was organized before the launch of the second Tretyakovskaya.

The development of Tretyakovskaya was planned only in the distant future, and only on January 11, 1986, the northern hall of the station was opened.

1. I devoted most of the shooting to the northern hall. There is simply nothing to see in the southern one.

2. Although earlier I was sure that this particular station had opened earlier.

3. Both stations are pylon, but the northern one is the so-called “new pylon” with a pylon width of two rings.

4. The station complex has two exits to the city (one for each station), but in the evening one slope is turned off.

5. The diameter of the side tunnels is 8.5 m, the central tunnel is 9.5 m.

6. The northern hall was built at a time when the decoration of metro stations was given more influence than during the construction of the southern hall. The location of the station in the historical and cultural zone of Moscow, near the Tretyakov Gallery, is reflected in architectural appearance north hall. The theme of the design is “Great Russian artists - the glory of Russian art.”

7. Inclined course of the southern station.

8. Already in the 90s, an additional passage to the Novokuznetskaya station was built from the old (southern) station. It is alleged that there is such a passage from the northern hall. At least there are stairs on the platform. But due to the beginning of the collapse in the economy, there was not enough money to move the step-down substation, which is located at that end of Novokuznetskaya. Unfortunately, it was not possible to verify whether this was true or not.

9. The existing transfer to the Novokuznetskaya station.

10. In my opinion, a very successful station project for the 80s.

11. Narrow, richly ornamented molded ridges stretch from pylon to pylon across the arch. The pylons are covered with light marble. The track walls are lined with pink Slyudyansk marble with black labradorite at the base and decorated with bronze paired portraits of Russian sculptors, artists and icon painters

12. Only INFOSOS, alas.. :(

13. Special respect for the font in the name of the station.

14. And this is a completely wretched passage and a hermetic gate in it.

15. The south hall is completely uninteresting.

16. Just faceless white marble.

17. Exit to the city.

18. The white arches of the travel tunnels of the southern hall rest on massive pylons in the form of parallelepipeds expanding upward, which are lined with light Ural Koelga marble. The lamps are located at the top of the pylons. The passages between the pylons are vaulted. The track walls are lined with light Koelga marble. The base of the walls is decorated with pink granular calciphyre with green stripes from the Slyudyanka deposit. Technological doors are decorated with decorative grilles with floral patterns. The floor is laid with gray granite.

19. Transfer to Novokuznetskaya station.

20. The last trains are passing...

21. And already the night arrangement. I remind you that at the beginning of the second, the last train with passengers departs from each terminal in the Moscow metro and travels the entire line. And if on other lines you can even go to your place at half past one, then with Kalininskaya such a trick will not work.

22. And once again a couple of views of both halls. It is beautiful.

23. It's not beautiful. :) Although, tastes are different.

24. Panorama of the northern hall.

.::clickable::.

25. And a small panoramic selfie. :)

.::clickable::.

In the next post we will go into tunnels and dead ends. Believe me, it's very interesting there! ;)

Many thanks to the press service of the Moscow Metro for organizing the photography.

Until recently Sparrow Hills I associated only with a giant springboard and observation deck. But the results of archaeological excavations indicate the existence of an ancient settlement on the Sparrow Hills in the 1st millennium BC. The first known mention dates back to 1453, when the “priest village of Vorobyovo” was located at the top of the slope.

Later in these picturesque places St. Andrew's Monastery, the royal residence, estates of wealthy citizens, the once famous Krynkin restaurant, dachas of the Soviet nomenklatura, a metro bridge with a unique station over the Moscow River were built, ski resort with a cable car. During the revolutionary events of October 1917, Vorobyovy Gory was of strategic importance. The red detachments knocked out the White Guards from the hill and fired at the Kremlin with heavy artillery.
In 1924, with the light hand of the People's Commissar of Education Lunacharsky (according to another version - on the initiative of diplomat Leonid Krasin), Vorobyovy Gory began to be called Leninsky, and officially this name existed from 1935 to 1999.

The easiest way to get here is by metro, station " Lenin's mountains" opened on January 12, 1959 as part of the Sokolnicheskaya Line "Sportivnaya" - "University" section. To save money (so as not to build a deep tunnel under the bed of the Moscow River) it was developed unusual project with the location of the metro station on the lower tier of the bridge over the river. And cars and pedestrians moved along the upper tier of the bridge, built in 1958. The length of the metro bridge is 1179 meters, and the total length is 2030 meters.

Alas, either haste during construction or an extremely economical project caused serious problems in the operation of the facility. Due to insufficient waterproofing, the station was flooded already in the year of opening, and soon part of the cornice collapsed. The bridge structures experienced serious dynamic loads during the acceleration and braking of trains, and corrosion ate away the reinforcement. Structural and technological errors led to the appearance of cracks in the ceilings and in 1983 the metro bridge was closed for a long reconstruction.

In order not to paralyze traffic on the Sokolnicheskaya line, the builders erected additional supports with bypass tracks, and trains followed them without stopping at the station. The repair work dragged on for 19 years and the townspeople began to doubt that Leninskie Gory would ever open again. On December 14, 2002, the station, created almost anew, opened under its current name “Vorobyovy Gory”. home design feature of this project - competent distribution of loads, the platform remained on the old supports, and the movement of trains is carried out on new beams standing on their own supports.

2007 Temporary supports have not yet been dismantled.

Since 2010, the station has also been an exhibition site. Cups and other sports trophies of Soviet athletes from the collection of the Sports Museum were exhibited here.

Since April 2014, glass display cases have displayed the personal belongings of metro passengers and employees. Each exhibit has its own story. For example, Kondraty Selivanovich Ermakov purchased a new foreign suit on credit in 1954 and proudly walked around in it while on duty in the voluntary people's squad at the Sokolniki metro station, where he met his future wife.

The most unusual use of the subway. On the night of September 22, 2013, completely legal skateboarding competitions took place at the Vorobyovy Gory station; the interiors and participants were not damaged.

In 1959, a 90-meter escalator gallery was built on the slope of the Lenin Mountains, which connected the embankment with Kosygina Street. The structure with three escalators, although it was serviced by employees of the capital’s metro and was initially decorated with a large letter M, was free both for metro passengers and for all other citizens who wanted to go up and down the slope.

In fact, there were not as many people as in the staged shot from the film “Sunflowers” ​​(in the shot, somewhere in the crowd of people, Sophia Loren herself is descending).

Like the station itself, the escalator pavilion was haunted by evil fate. At first, the escalators were launched later than planned, but over time it turned out that the location was chosen poorly, and landslides threatened the safety of the gallery structures. Service to citizens stopped soon after the Leninskie Gory metro station was closed for repairs; the building was declared unsafe, the mechanisms were eventually dismantled and now only concrete walls and foundations remain.

The lack of a lift causes a lot of inconvenience for citizens who want to get from the embankment to Kosygina Street. People have to detour the extra hundreds of meters, and only tourist rock climbers can take the shortest route to the Palace of Pioneers under the metro bridge overpass. Although the Moscow Government periodically plans to restore the escalator (including during Sobyanin’s time), the ruin on Vorobyovy Gory continues to remain a ruin.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the “office” of the Moscow Alpine Ski and Ski Society was located on the estate of S. Grachev water sports(M.O.G.-L. and V.S.). Grachev’s three-story dacha, as an example of rich dacha development, has been preserved at the intersection of what is now Kosygina Street and Vernadsky Avenue, but it is not occupied by skiers-athletes, but by the traffic police department of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate.

“Vorobyovy Gory” (until May 12, 1999 “Leninsky Gory”) is a station on the Sokolnicheskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. In my opinion, one of the most interesting stations of the Moscow metro.

The Leninskie Gory metro station was opened on January 12, 1959 as part of the Sokolnicheskaya line “Sportivnaya” - “University”. To reduce the cost of construction, a unique project for laying a metro line along a metro bridge was used, instead of the previously proposed plan for a tunnel under the Moscow River. The station was located on the lower tier of the Luzhnetsky metro bridge (built in 1958), while vehicular traffic carried on its upper tier.

Due to the rush to put the bridge into operation by International Festival Youth construction standards were not fully complied with. The desire to minimize costs led to the replacement of metal supports with reinforced concrete ones, led to a number of errors when laying reinforcement in the frame of the structure, and also forced builders to use salt in order to speed up concreting. The fact is that salt lowers the freezing point of water, which was important since the work was carried out in winter time. However, this contributed to intense corrosion of the reinforcement elements.

In the spring, when the snow melted, the station was constantly flooded due to poor waterproofing. On July 8, 1959, a heavy downpour occurred in Moscow, almost paralyzing the work of the entire line: water mixed with mud penetrated directly into the trains. Then the ceiling began to collapse. It got to the point that in June 1960, duralumin sheets of the cornice fell from a height of 4 meters. No one was hurt then. Subsequently, longitudinal cracks began to appear in the concrete floors, which led to the final closure of the bridge for reconstruction.

The station reopened on December 14, 2002. In fact, it was completely rebuilt. The width of the station was increased by 3 meters, while it was decided to leave the platform part of the station on the old supports.


Southern vestibule of the station.

The station has two vestibules. From the northern lobby (equipped with an escalator) you can exit to Luzhnetskaya embankment and the Olympic sports complex"Luzhniki". From the southern lobby you can exit to Vorobyovskaya Embankment (through the lower hall) and to the Vorobyovy Gory nature reserve (through the upper hall)


Southern vestibule of the station.


Escalators in the station's southern lobby.

The station is decorated in a modern style. The bridge supports passing through the hall, as well as the walls of the approach corridors, are lined with white and green marble. The floor is laid with gray granite.

This station is one of two exhibition areas of the metro (along with the Metro gallery at the Vystavochnaya station).

The track walls are made transparent, the glass is inserted into an aluminum frame. They offer views of the Moscow River, Vorobyovy Gory, Bolshaya Sports Arena Luzhniki and the building of the Academy of Sciences.

The station is a "dangerous" station as there is no chute on the tracks.

Not far from the station in natural reserve"Vorobyovy Gory" is located, previously operating in 1959-1983. an escalator gallery that served as a delivery service for passengers from the metro and park to Kosygina Street and back. The gallery was built according to a standard design at the same time as the station. It was equipped with a three-belt escalator and had two vestibules - the upper one (on Kosygina Street) and the lower one (in the park)


Still from the film "Sunflowers" Cameraman Giuseppe Rotunno Photo from oldmos.ru

After the reconstruction of the station, due to problems with technical calculations and lack of funding, the gallery was not restored. Now you can only get to the station and Kosygina Street on foot through the forest park, up the bypass paths, or use the toll cable car, which is located far from the station This is how she looks now, but that’s a separate post
