Moscow metro, Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line. Moving to the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line what color?

Now there are 12 lines in the Moscow metro. All of them are numbered in a certain order, close, but still different from chronological. Numbering of lines on the diagram began in the nineties. When numbering, the same order was used in which the lines were previously located in the legend to the diagram, where their names were signed.

1. Sokolnicheskaya (red) line. Chronologically, the first line of the Moscow metro, opened in May 1935. For a long time there was no need to name the lines, much less number them. Only in the 50s, with the construction Circle line, all the lines that existed at that time received names. The first name of the first line was Kirovsko-Frunzenskaya, which lasted until 1990. Then, in the wake of ideological renamings, the line received its modern name - Sokolnicheskaya.

2. Zamoskvoretskaya(green) line. The line opened in September 1938. But eight months before its opening, it went into operation Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya (blue) line, which chronologically became the second. On the diagrams of the 50s you can still see the “correct” order of lines - Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya In second place, Zamoskvoretskaya(Then - Gorkovsko-Zamoskvoretskaya) on the third:

But in the sixties the lines exchanged positions:

This happened, most likely, due to the greater length and greater passenger traffic on green line. In addition, it connected more important city facilities: two railway stations, an air terminal, the Dynamo stadium (the country's main stadium before the opening of Luzhniki in 1956), as well as the largest Moscow enterprise - the ZIL plant. Thus, less "important" blue line was relegated to third place. However, from time to time, on various schemes, she still regained second place:

3. Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya(blue)line. Chronologically, the second line was opened in March 1938. At the same time, the section already operating at that time was transferred to the line "Alexander Garden"(Then - "Comintern Street") - "Kyiv", formerly owned first line. Later, this section will once again become part of another line, this time Filevskaya(see also ). It is interesting that markers measuring distances along railway tracks (they are called pickets) still “consider” this section to be a continuation Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line. And on the present continuation of the line from "Revolution Square" to the west, the markers begin counting from zero.

4. Filevskaya (blue) line. The most confusing line in terms of numbering. Firstly, because it contains the already mentioned area, which opened at the very beginning, along with first line. This means it has reason to be considered second in a row. Secondly, because it became a separate line much later, in 1958 - after the opening Annular And Riga lines. Therefore, it also has reason to be considered the sixth in a row. But this happened before the unification Kaluga And Riga lines into a single Kaluga-Rizhskaya. Therefore, there is reason to be considered the fifth. But the line received the number "4". First of all, because it was perceived as a continuation Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line, having the number "3". On some diagrams in the early nineties it was even designated “3A”. Because of this perception, by the way, the color blue Filevskaya line and its original name - Arbatsko-Filyovskaya. However, the name did not last long and soon the line became simply Filevskaya.

The line did not immediately receive its fourth position. At first, the line, as new at that time, was placed sixth in the legend:

But in the eighties the line “rose” to fourth place:

6. Kaluga-Rizhskaya (orange) line, formed in 1972 after the connection Kaluga And Riga lines. But retains its numbering from Kaluga line, which opened next after Annular.

7. Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya (purple) line. This line also did not appear immediately. In 1966 (even before the advent of the united Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line) opened Zhdanovskaya line. Six years later it was launched Krasnopresnenskaya line. And three years later (in 1975) the lines were connected into a new Zhdanovsko-Krasnopresnenskaya line, which we now know as Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya.

Further numbering of lines completely coincides with the chronology of the opening without any reservations:

8. Kalininskaya(aka Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya) (yellow) line - opened in 1979. The line was named after the Kalininsky district of Moscow. In 1991, the area was renamed Lefortovo, but for some reason the lines retained their original name. Another feature: when the line opened, there was already a station in the Moscow metro "Kalininskaya" on another line (now a station "Alexander Garden"), which could lead to confusion.

9. Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya(gray) line- opened in 1983 under the name Serpukhovskaya, when extended to the north, the name was added -Timiryazevskaya.

10. Lublinskaya(aka Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya) (light green) line- opened in 1995. With the extension of the line north to the name Lublin line began to add and -Dmitrovskaya, which again may cause confusion, since the station "Dmitrovskaya" is on the other line.

11. Kakhovskaya(turquoise) line. The line became fully operational back in 1969, as a continuation Zamoskvoretskaya(Then - Gorkovsko-Zamoskvoretskaya) line, but became a separate line only in 1995, and therefore occupies 11th place in the list of lines.

12. Butovskaya (gray-blue) line. The youngest line of the Moscow metro, opened in 2003.

Overall, 2007 was a very successful year for various events that took place in the Krylatskoye region. Just remember the epic with the demolition of villages on the banks of the Moscow River or the threat of roof collapse at the Ice Palace. However, probably the most significant event that most residents of the area remember almost every day (at least at the subconscious level) is the opening of new metro stations, which deprived Krylatskoye of the title of terminal station, as well as the move from the Filevskaya line to Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya. Let's remember how it was...

So. The first official message about what awaits our metro appeared at the very beginning of 2007. In January, the press service of the Moscow metro reported that the completion of construction of the sections “Victory Park” - “Kuntsevskaya” (with the intermediate station “Slavyansky Boulevard” - in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe fork of Kutuzovsky Prospekt and Starorublevskoye Shosse) and “Krylatskoye” - “Strogino” of Mitinsko-Stroginsky section of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line, planned for the end of 2007.

It became clear that in the near future the Krylatskoye station will no longer be the final station. After it, the Strogino station will appear, and in the near future the metro will go further, to the Mitino area. What the consequences of these changes would be not for Moscow as a whole (Moscow officials talked about this in some detail), but for the residents of Krylatskoye, was unknown at that time.

In addition, it became clear that the Krylatskoye station will move to the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line from Filevskaya. The latter was received positively by many. Firstly, the Filyovskaya line is open, which means that in winter it is not very comfortable to travel along it in a train carriage. Secondly, the number of failures that occurred specifically on the Filevskaya line was already indecently high. And thirdly, judging by the metro maps, getting to the center will now be somewhat faster.

However, then, in 2007, few people thought about this. After the news described above appeared at the beginning of the year, construction began both in the area and beyond.

Residents of the area saw the first results of the work already in the summer, when for two days (August 18 and 19), three stations of the Filevskaya line: Krylatskoye, Molodezhnaya and Kuntsevskaya were closed. At this time, two turnouts were laid, tracks were shifted, contact rails and cables were moved in order to open a new section of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line from Victory Park to Strogino station by December 2007. During the forced downtime of the Filevskaya branch section, a compensatory bus route “M” was organized, which carried passengers from the Krylatskoye station to the Pionerskaya metro station with stops at the Molodezhnaya and Kuntsevskaya stations. Buses ran quite frequently. There were about 36 of them on the route, and the interval between them was 1 minute and 40 seconds, that is, almost the same as the trains arriving in the subway.

Considering that it was a weekend, there weren’t many people crowding into the buses. For the most part, many traveled not just for their own business, but solely for the purpose of riding, because travel was absolutely free. Residents of Northern Krylatskoye were especially lucky, because the bus began boarding passengers not at the metro lobby, but directly at the bus circle (turnaround circle).

Many young people took advantage of the opportunity to ride for free, stocking up on beer and nuts and simply killing time with nothing to do. By the way, at the Molodezhnaya station, where the bus with the “M” sign stopped, there were police officers on duty, who literally every hour imprisoned cheerful passengers for drinking alcoholic beverages on public transport.

At the same time, when the press service of the Moscow metro spoke about the closure of three stations over the weekend, official information appeared about the improvements that will occur as a result of the planned changes. Thus, the press service of the capital's subway reported that the time it would take passengers to travel from Strogino to Kievskaya station would take 19 minutes, but if they had to travel along the Filevskaya line, they would have to spend as much as 28 minutes. It is clear that from Krylatskoye to the ring it is even faster, which once again raised pleasant expectations from the upcoming changes in the metro.

There was not long to wait. On December 29, the first passenger train arrived at the Strogino station of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line of the Moscow Metro.

However, just a few days later, already in 2008, from 5:30 a.m. on January 2 to 3:00 p.m. on January 7, three stations stopped working again: “Krylatskoye,” “Molodezhnaya,” and “Kuntsevskaya.” This was the last planned shutdown of part of the line so that metro builders could finally transfer train traffic to the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line. However, this did not cause any big problems for passengers - it was the New Year holidays.

After a long weekend, residents of Krylatskoye were finally able to fully enjoy their metro ride on the new line. In terms of time, it was much faster, especially since at the beginning the Slavyansky Boulevard station was closed. Trains passed through it without stopping. There was only one thing that was confusing - the trains at the Krylatskoye station were no longer empty, but arrived somewhat full. However, at that time there was not much crowding even during rush hours. It was formed when new stations were opened: Myakinino, Volokolamskaya, Mitino and Pyatnitskoye Shosse. However, this is a completely different story.

At the same time, finishing the story about the move of the Krylatskoye station to another metro line will have to be a little different. The fact is that at the beginning of 2008, after the Strogino station became fully operational, residents of several houses in the area lost all sleep. The fact is that the roar and grinding of passing trains was clearly heard in houses No. 31, buildings 1 and 2 on Krylatskaya Street and No. 16 on Osennyaya Street. It is noteworthy that in other places the noise level either did not increase at all or clearly did not exceed sanitary standards.

At the same time, the reason why in the mentioned apartment buildings the noise level with the “arrival” of the metro in Strogino increased three times, 3-4 decibels exceeding the norm, could not be found for quite a long time. As the head of the Moscow metro, Dmitry Gaev, noted then, even the metro cannot understand the reasons for this anomaly, despite numerous examinations. “The tunnel is far away, but the sound still somehow gets through. Science does not yet know the features of the propagation of sound waves in soils,” reported the “owner” of the capital’s subway.

The residents of the three houses could only wait, and for a long time. Having studied international experience in damping high frequencies, special mufflers (rail covers) were ordered. However, while the order was carried out, while the tests were carried out, residents were forced to literally sleep with earplugs, drink valerian... in a word, endure for more than a year, until, finally, the sounds in their apartments returned to normal.

3. Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line

3. Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line

This is the longest line of the Moscow metro - almost 44 km. The name immediately raises the question: why “Pokrovskaya”? After all, there is no such station in the Moscow metro. The reason for the curiosity is a change in the construction plans of 1938: the already designed stations “Ilyinskie Vorota” and “Pokrovskie Vorota” were not built, only the backlogs remained from them (if you want - “ghosts”) - straight sections of tunnels at a distance of the width of the platform from each other , - and the name of the line.

Currently, one end of the line reaches Shchelkovskoye Highway in the east, and the other ends to Mitino in the north-west. Perhaps it will be extended to one more station - Rozhdestveno - but construction has not yet begun.

"Kurskaya" station was the terminus on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line until 1944. Behind the station there is a wool ramp, along which trains turned around before the line was extended to the east. It is now used in emergency situations and for official transport.

The oldest stations on the line are “Kurskaya”, “Ploshchad Revolyutsii”, “Arbatskaya”, “Smolenskaya” and “Kyiv”. Famous architects worked on their design: Leonid Polyakov, Alexey Dushkin. They didn’t skimp on finishing even during the war years! The vaults were decorated with stucco ornaments and paintings, and the walls were decorated with mosaics.

The oldest stations on the line are “Kurskaya”, “Ploshchad Revolyutsii”, “Arbatskaya”, “Smolenskaya” and “Kyiv”. They didn’t skimp on finishing even during the war years!

Particularly noteworthy is the Ploshchad Revolyutsii station. It lies at a depth of 33.6 meters and is famous for its 76 sculptures, located in the niches of each of the arches formed by the pylons of the station hall. Their author is Matvey Manizer (he was also tasked with removing the death mask from the face of the deceased Stalin). Initially, there were 80 sculptures, but in 1947, in connection with the opening of the eastern ground vestibule, 4 were removed, and the bas-relief of Lenin and Stalin, located at the end of the hall, was also dismantled. In total, there are 20 different images at the station, 18 of them are repeated four times, and 2 - twice.

In 1941, the sculptures from the Revolution Square station were evacuated to Central Asia and returned back in 1944. During the evacuation, they suffered greatly: only scattered parts remained of them - heads, torsos, arms, weapons and other parts. However, due to the fact that each sculptural composition was repeated several times, all sculptures were completely restored.

All the figures, except for children, are either kneeling, bending down, or sitting - otherwise they would not fit in the arches of the arched passages. People joked: “At the station it is shown that the entire Soviet people are either sitting or kneeling.”

Urban legend

There is a belief that the best way to pass the test is to rub the nose of a bronze dog from the “Border Guard with a Dog.” As a result, the noses and half of the muzzle of all dogs are rubbed to a shine. To pass the exam, you need to hold the dog's paws. But it’s better not to approach the rooster held by the cast-iron poultry house at all: this is a bad omen.

This is interesting

When moving towards Arbatskaya, you can see a double-track tunnel that leads to the Aleksandrovsky Sad station. Contrary to the claims of metro fans that this is a glitch with the secret Metro-2, in fact this line connects the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya and Filevskaya lines. In 1938–1953 there was passenger traffic along it. Until 1997, trains with passengers sometimes switched from Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya to the Filevskaya line.

The eastern lobby, built in 1947, was closed for reconstruction in December 2008, and at noon on March 29, 2010, it was simply opened: the ceremonial part was canceled due to the terrorist attacks that occurred a few hours earlier.

The following stations to Kievskaya were opened in 1953.

For some unknown reason, the deep “Arbatskaya” blue line and the “Arbatskaya” blue, Filevskaya, line are called the same; There are also two Smolensky ones. Muscovites are not mistaken - these two Filyovsky stations are almost not loaded, they cannot be confused with the endlessly in demand “Smolenskaya” and “Arbatskaya” blue lines. But when they suddenly rename “Izmailovsky Park”, guided by the fact that people confuse it with “Izmailovskaya”, this makes Muscovites extremely funny.

According to the official version, a new deep section of the blue line was built after a bomb hit a section of the shallow Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya metro tunnel during the Great Patriotic War. The construction of this section of the route was carried out in deep secrecy in 1953 and came as a surprise to Muscovites. The Arbatskaya station was built according to a special design: the tunnels were brought closer together, the cross-section of the pylons was reduced, and the central hall was elliptical in cross-section. The length of the underground hall is 220 meters - this is the second longest station after Vorobyovy Gory.

This is interesting

On the western side of the station, in front of the escalator leading to the surface, there is a staircase through a tunnel hidden by a steel gate. Then another staircase leads down. The walls of this passage are not lined and are painted in the green color of the office premises. In the station hall, near the escalator, there is a surveillance camera aimed at the grate. Rumor has it that this passage leads to the secret Metro-2 station, which we will tell you about later.

"Arbatskaya" is part of the largest transfer hub in Moscow; it has only one ground-based vestibule. It has a huge empty frame - until the mid-1950s there was a full-length portrait of Stalin by Opryshko. Some believe that it has survived, but is covered with plaster; others say that the granite mosaic with Stalin against the backdrop of victory banners lasted for several years, but one day after the metro was closed, workers arrived and dismantled the granite mosaic. Its author really asked that they give him at least part of the image - the head of the tyrant, but Opryshko was refused.

The Smolenskaya station lies even deeper - 50 meters underground. The station's pylons are lined with white marble and decorated with half-columns at the corners. The floor is paved with black marble with white and red marble patterns around the edges. Its architect, Igor Evgenievich Rozhin, a Stalin Prize laureate, was one of the authors of the unbuilt Palace of the Soviets. The end wall is decorated with a bas-relief by sculptor Georgy Motovilov; it is dedicated to the defenders of the Motherland.

The round ground lobby is decorated in the same style, and the mosaic frieze of the escalator hall repeats images of the Order of Victory.

The Kievskaya station was the final station for 50 years (from 1953 to 2003). It lies at a depth of 38 meters, its design is dedicated to the theme of the reunification of Ukraine and Russia. The station is illuminated by very beautiful crystal chandeliers. On the vault above the pylons in stucco medallions there are 24 frescoes with scenes from the life of the working Ukrainian people, and on the other side, facing the platforms, with images of fantastic plants. The pylons are decorated with light marble and decorated with colored ceramic cornice, repeating the Ukrainian folk ornament. The end of the station is occupied by a large panel depicting folk festivities celebrating the 300th anniversary of the reunification of Ukraine with Russia, created by a whole team of artists. Unfortunately, on October 2, 2010, quite a large part of it collapsed due to a leak that was not noticed in time.

The Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line is richer than others in so-called ghost stations - unfinished or closed as unnecessary. The oldest of them was called “Pervomayskaya”, it was ground and terminal in 1954–1961.

At that station there was one vestibule, which has survived to this day, with access to Pervomaiskaya Street and 1st Parkovaya Street. A few years ago, the remains of the inscription “Metropolitan named after L. M. Kaganovich” were clearly visible on it. Pervomaiskaya station. It was the only station in the Moscow metro with a wooden roof. There were stucco decorations on its track walls, and the floor was decorated with marble. Now in its place is the lifting repair shop of the Izmailovsky depot, the platform has been dismantled, and an additional dead end has been built. The lobby is equipped with an assembly hall, where various events are sometimes held. Perhaps someday they will organize a museum there.

Several more “ghosts” on this line are planned but never built stations, for example “Trinity-Lykovo”. Only part of it has been built - a small platform less than a carriage long - and several technical rooms. The station is used only as a service station - it is constantly staffed by personnel, for whose boarding and disembarking stops are provided in the train schedule (people enter and exit through the driver's cabin).

During the war in 1944, after Kurskaya, Baumanskaya (formerly Spartakovskaya), Elektrozavodskaya, Stalinskaya (Semenovskaya) and Izmailovskaya appeared. Metrostroy received the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, 520 people were awarded orders and medals, and a large group of metro builders were given the Stalin Prize.

B. M. Iofan in his initial project “Spartakovskaya” interpreted the name of the station literally - in the ancient Roman style, filling it with classical sculptures “reminiscent of the great revolutionary of the ancient world.” This project was implemented, but instead of gladiators there were statues of contemporaries.

A strange inscription is hand-carved on the marble wall of the Baumanskaya station. It is located near the stop of the first car on the platform towards Shchelkovskaya, under the last ventilation grill, at a height of approximately 1.2 meters. These are two dates, separated by a dash, written as they are sometimes written on tombstones: first the first two digits of the year, the day and month below it in Roman numerals, and then the last two digits of the year. The dates are as follows: 11/14/1946-12/15/1954. The inscription is carved quite deeply in marble, its length is about 8 centimeters, its height is about one and a half. Its origin is unknown, and metro fans have long been trying to guess what these dates might mean. Basic assumptions: an eight-year-old child was once hit by a train here; someone's dog died; these are the years someone worked on the subway; This is a prison term.

“Elektrozavodskaya”, named after the corresponding production, currently a complex of three plants (Elektrozavod itself, MELZ and ATE-1), is located at a depth of more than 30 meters. Its track walls are lined with red Georgian marble, in which there are many shells of cephalopods of Early Jurassic age - nautiluses, ammonites and belemnites.

Bas-reliefs by Motovilov are dedicated to the theme of labor, and at the entrance to the station lobby there is a sculptural group “Metrobuilders” by M. G. Manizer. The walls of the ticket office and escalator halls are decorated with medallions with portraits of the founders of electrical engineering: M. V. Lomonosov, P. N. Yablochkov, A. S. Popov, M. Faraday, B. Franklin, W. Gilbert.

“Semyonovskaya” (formerly “Stalinskaya”) is located at a depth of 40 meters - this is the height of a twelve-story building. The station is very elegant: the columns are lined with light marble with marble inserts of various colors, and the floor is tiled with black, red, gray and white granite. In the center of the hall there is a row of floor lamps made of green marble with a bronze base. Sculptor Vera Mukhina took part in the design of the station.

The end is decorated with a high relief depicting the Order of Victory against the background of weapons and banners with the inscription “Glory to our Red Army!” (sculptor S. L. Rabinovich). Previously, under the inscription there was the signature “I. Stalin,” but after the tyrant’s cult of personality was exposed, it was removed.

"Partizanskaya" (more recently - "Izmailovsky Park") is located under Izmailovskoye Highway. It is decorated with bas-reliefs (by Rabinovich) and sculptures by Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya and partisan Matvey Kuzmich Kuzmin, who repeated the feat of Ivan Susanin (by Matvey Manizer). The design of the station seems rather poor, but once in the square niches above the middle path there were huge round lamps and frescoes by the artist A.D. Goncharov “Sky of the Motherland”, which have not survived to this day. According to the stories, they were wonderfully good. According to one version, the frescoes were removed because many passengers looked at them and fell on the tracks, making the station a leader in the number of accidents.

The project name of the station is “Stadium named after. Stalin." Initially, it was designed for large passenger traffic - the stadium was supposed to be the largest in the USSR. However, it was never built, first due to the war and then due to unfavorable hydrogeological conditions, and the design of the station was changed. Diggers claim that somewhere here, at the station, there is an entrance to Stalin’s now declassified bunker, located nearby. This bunker really exists. Perhaps the passage once existed, but is now walled up. According to metro fans, the unused third track was not intended for passenger trains at all, but for the arrival of the train itself - that is why it is beautifully illuminated on the sides with red lights.

From the history

On January 8, 1977, an explosion occurred on the Blue Line, killing 7 people. The bomb exploded at 17:33 on a train on the stretch between the Izmailovskaya and Pervomaiskaya stations. Rush hour had already begun, and a lot of people died, including children returning from the New Year's party with their parents. The Pervomaiskaya, Izmailovskaya and Shchelkovskaya stations were closed, and people were evacuated from the platforms. The exploded train arrived at Pervomaiskaya, and passengers on the train, which passed through the station without stopping, saw a torn carriage and bloodied people on the platform.

Two more explosions followed - on the surface. At 18:05, a bomb went off in the trading floor of grocery store No. 15 of the Baumansky District Food Store. And five minutes after that - near grocery store No. 5 on 25 October Street. In total, as a result of three explosions, seven people were killed and another 37 were injured of varying severity.

The media did not report the tragic incident, but rumors of hundreds of deaths instantly spread throughout Moscow, plunging city residents into shock.

The search for the organizers of the terrorist attack continued for more than six months. On November 3, the terrorists were arrested. These are Yerevan residents Stepan Zatikyan, Hakob Stepanyan and Zaven Baghdasaryan. In the first person’s apartment they found a diagram of an explosive device that went off in the Moscow metro, and in the second person’s apartment they found details of new explosive devices. Zatikyan was recognized as the organizer of the group. He worked at the Yerevan Electromechanical Plant, was married, and raised two small children. However, not everything in his biography was smooth: while still a student, Zatikyan created the underground National United Party of Armenia, advocated for the independence of the republic, and distributed leaflets protesting against “Russian chauvinism.”

The investigation lasted about a year, and on January 24, 1979, all three terrorists were sentenced to capital punishment. The trial was closed and secret: even relatives were not allowed into the courtroom. According to the KGB, only Baghdasaryan fully admitted his guilt, and Zatikyan flatly refused to testify. According to another version, none of the defendants pleaded guilty. A few days later the sentence was carried out.
