Passengers can make out-of-station transfers to Zorge on the Moscow Central Circle Line. The Metro plans to build a walkway between the stations which would make the connection time about 20 minutes.^[4]

Name

The original name of the station was slated to be Khodynskoe Pole, after the open area where the station is located; however, fans of CSKA Moscow requested that the station be renamed “CSKA” after the sports clubs whose facilities are nearby.^[5] In April 2016, the Mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin issued a decree to rename the station.^[6] To further recognize CSKA, the station lobby includes sculptures of well-known CSKA athletes across the club's three major sports: Vsevolod Bobrov, Denis Denisov, and Victor Khryapa.^[7]
