With the entire line being completely underground, it is quite densely populated, with no fewer than 9 different factions inhabiting it (a number only rivaled by the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line).

History

The station was opened on March 7, 1991 as part of the section "Savelovskaya" - "Otradnoe", after the commissioning of which there were 148 stations in the Moscow Metro.^[1]

Registration

The track walls are lined with brown corrugated sheet, which makes the station look dark and gloomy. There are several breaks with dark marble inserts decorated with medallions depicting architectural structures of various religions (author A. M. Mosiychuk).

• Venice - Church of San Giorgio Maggiore
• Japan - Matsumoto Castle
• India - Taj Mahal
• Vladykino — Church of the Nativity of the Virgin
• Kizhi - Chapel of Michael the Archangel
• Bukhara - Chor-Minor Madrasah
• Vladimir - Golden Gate
• Georgia - Nikortsminda Temple

White marble is used in the decoration of the columns. The floor is lined with dark granite.

The design of the station's track hall is partly similar to the design of the Shchukinskaya station hall.

Lobbies and transplants

Exit to the city on both sides of the railway tracks through glazed lobbies in the form of a rotunda to Susokolovskoye highway and Signalny proezd. Near the station there is the central entrance to the Moscow Botanical Garden of Academy of Sciences and the Voskhod Hotel.

Free transfer between the metro station and the MCC station of the same name is possible.^[2]
