Park Pobedy (Moscow Metro)
Park Pobedy ( Russian Парк Победы , literally Victory Park ) is a metro station of the Moscow Metro opened on May 6, 2003 on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line (also called line 3 ) and the Kalininskaya line (line 8) .
location
The station is located in the western administrative district of Moscow , directly below the Kutuzovsky Prospect artery , which turns into the M1 trunk road out of town . In the immediate vicinity of the station is the "Siegespark", which gave it its name and was created in 1995, a large park as a memorial to the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Germany in World War II . Also close to the Park Pobedy station is the Panorama Museum of the Battle of Borodino .
So far, the station has only had one exit into a pedestrian underpass under Kutuzov Prospect , from which one can access both sides of the street. From the opening until January 2008, Park Pobedy was the western terminus of the line, but the latter has since been extended in this direction. The next train station to the west is Slawjanski Bulwar , to the east it is Kievskaya station .
On January 31, 2014, the initially isolated section of the Park Pobedy - Delovoi Center of the Kalininskaya Line was put into operation; The gap between them and Tretyakovskaya is planned to be closed by 2020 at the latest.
description
The platforms are 84 meters below the surface, which makes Park Pobedy the currently lowest station on the Moscow metro network. The escalators that lead from the intermediate level to one of the two platforms are correspondingly long at 126 meters. They were the longest connected escalators in the world until they were surpassed in 2011 by the escalators of the Admiralteiskaya station of the Saint Petersburg Metro at 137 meters. Other, much shorter escalators lead from the counter hall, which is on the same level as the pedestrian underpass, to the lower intermediate level.
The station has two separate platform halls with a total of four tracks, three of which are currently in use. The northern hall serves trains in a westerly direction, with the right track not being used for the Kalininskaja line, the southern hall trains in an easterly direction on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line and initially as a turning point for trains on the Kalininskaya line. Both platform halls are connected to one another at two points by bridges over the tracks. The escalators leading to the exit are at the western end of the south hall; So if you arrive from the center of Moscow, you can only reach the exit via one of the bridges to the opposite platform hall.
architecture
Both platform halls were designed relatively splendidly. As is often the case with stations on the Moscow Metro, the respective two track areas are separated from the middle part of the hall by rows of pylons . The pylons and the walls on the tracks are clad in white and light brown marble , the checkerboard-like flooring was made of gray and black granite .
The wall at the western end of the north hall and at the eastern end of the south hall is decorated with paintings that, based on the location of the station between the Borodino Museum and the Victory Park, thematically refer to the victories of Russia in the war against Napoleon in 1812 and in the Second World War ( Representation of the Soviet memorial in Treptower Park in Berlin ) are ajar. They were created by the well-known Georgian-Russian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli .
Expansion planning
The opening of the western extension of the Kalininskaya line by three stations to Ramenki is planned for 2016 (for 2017 another seven stations via Solnzewo to Rasskasowka, with the line being renamed the Kalininsko-Solnzewskaya line ). The two corresponding tracks in the two platform halls, including the currently unused one in the north hall, would then become through tracks. In the medium to long term, a second exit is to be built from the eastern end of the north hall.
