Paveletskaya (Kolzewaya Line)
Paveletskaya ( Russian Павеле́цкая , ) is a subway station on the ring line of the Moscow Metro . It opened on January 1, 1950 as part of the first phase of construction on the line.
General
The name Paveletskaya is derived from the Paveletsk station , a nearby long-distance train station, from which trains to certain areas of central and southern Russia (for example to Lipetsk ) are dispatched. Paveletskaya is also the name of the underground station on the "green" line , which is also located there and can be used to change trains directly. Unlike the latter, however, Paveletskaya-Kolzewaya has no direct exit into the station building. Instead, the only access to the station is in a vestibule building on the inner side of the garden ring . To the north of it are the historic districts of Samoskvorechye , there is also an option to change to the few tram lines that still run in the historic Moscow city center.
The entrance building and the ticket hall inside is connected to the platform by escalators . The platform is 40 meters below the surface. From its center, a relatively long corridor leads across below the tracks to the station of the Samoskvorezkaya Line. You can get to the reception building of the Paveletsk station from the ring line underground station either via the station of the Samoskvorezkaya line or from the vestibule building via a pedestrian underpass below the garden ring.
Near Paveletskaya branch off from the tracks of the Koltsevaya line connecting tracks to the Samoskvorezkaya line. However, these tracks are only used for business trips without passengers.
architecture
The central platform is visually separated into three parts by two rows of pylons . The pylons are cube-shaped with additional decorative white marble columns at the four corners. On their surface they are decorated with dark red patterns, which, together with the richly decorated round ventilation openings, are based a little on the architecture of the Italian early Renaissance . The floor was composed of black and gray granite patterns. At the unused end of the platform in the central hall there is a mosaic composition by the well-known artist Pawel Korin on the wall with the motif of workers and kolkhoz farmers that was popular in the Soviet Union at the time . The two stair entrances in the center of the platform lead to the connecting passage with the station of the Samoskvorezkaya line.
