history
The Anděl station was built in 1985 and opened with the commissioning of line B on November 2, 1985. It was named Moskevská after the Russian capital, Moscow , and was planned by Soviet architects as a symbol of the Czechoslovak-Soviet friendship. In the same year the Praschskaja station, planned by the Czechs and named after Prague, was opened in Moscow . On February 22, 1990, stations whose names were associated with the communist regime were renamed, including Anděl. The station was affected by the 2002 flood.
