Kiyevskaya (Koltsevaya Line)


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kiyevskaya (Russian: ) is a
Moscow Metro station in the Dorogomilovo
District, Western Administrative Okrug,
Moscow. It is on the Koltsevaya Line,
between Park Kultury and
Krasnopresnenskaya stations. It is named after
the nearby Kiyevsky Rail Terminal. The
design for the station was chosen in an open
competition held in Ukraine; the entry
submitted by the team of E. I. Katonin, V. K.
Skugarev, and G. E. Golubev placed first
among 73 others and it became the final
design.[1] Kievskaya features low, square
pylons faced with white marble and
surmounted by large mosaics by A.V. Myzin
celebrating Russo-Ukrainian unity. Both the
mosaics and the arches between the pylons are
edged with elaborate gold-colored trim. At the
end of the platform is a portrait of Vladimir
Lenin.
The entrance to the station, which is shared
with both of the other two Kievskaya stations,
is built into the Kiev railway station. With the
completion of the segment of track between
Belorusskaya and Park Kultury in 1954 the
Koltsevaya Line became fully operational with
trains running continuously around the loop
for the first time.
One of the station's entrances is topped by a
reproduction of an Art Nouveau Paris Metro
entrance by Hector Guimard, given by the
Rgie autonome des transports parisiens in
2006[2]
