general description
The metro station Kitai Gorod of Moscow Metro is located right below the Slavyanskaya Square between the mouths of the Varvarka and Iljinka. It was put into operation on January 3, 1971 and was called Ploshchad Nogina ( Площадь Ногина , literally Nogin Square) until November 5, 1990 . Although two metro lines intersect here, namely the Kalushsko-Rishskaya line, line 6 and the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line, line 7 , the station is to be regarded as a single subway station due to the design. It consists of two parallel central platform halls at the same depth , which are connected to one another by transitions above the tracks. The two tracks of the western platform are served by trains on the Kalushsko-Rishskaya line (line 6) to the south and the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line (line 7) to the south-east, while trains on the eastern platform of the Kalushsko-Rishskaya line (line 6) Head north and trains on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line (Line 7) stop north-west. This constellation gives passengers at Kitai-Gorod station the option of changing between the two lines on the same platform, provided that the direction of travel is maintained (otherwise the platform must be changed via the connecting corridor to which stairs lead in the middle of the two halls).
The two platform halls are located 29 meters below the surface and each have two entrances equipped with escalators , via which one leads into widely branched pedestrian underpasses at both ends of Slavyanskaya Square and from there directly to the historic streets Varwarka, Soljanka, Ilyinka and Marosseika arrives. Despite their symmetrical arrangement to each other and the simultaneous commissioning, the two platform halls differ architecturally in a certain way. The western hall is in three parts with two rows of ten-sided ("harmonica-like") pylons , which, like the outer walls, are clad with light marble. The color tones of the eastern hall are also characterized by white marble, but the shape of the pylons here make a more asymmetrical, “crystal-like” impression, and the rows of pylons close at the top with a cornice made of a copper-colored cornice that is also stylized as crystal due to the characteristic facets Frieze strips made of aluminum. Both halls share an arched vault between the rows of pylons, with the lights in the west hall arranged in rows directly on the vault, while in the east hall they are hidden behind the cornices.
