Notes
An excerpt characterizing Okhotny Ryad (metro station)
“No, I don’t want to,” Pierre said, pushing Anatole away and went to the window.Dolokhov held the Englishman’s hand and clearly, distinctly spelled out the terms of the bet, addressing mainly Anatole and Pierre.
Dolokhov was a man of average height, with curly hair and fair hair. blue eyes. He was about twenty-five years old. He did not wear a mustache, like all infantry officers, and his mouth, the most striking feature of his face, was completely visible. The lines of this mouth were remarkably finely curved. In the middle upper lip energetically sank onto the strong lower one with a sharp wedge, and in the corners something like two smiles constantly formed, one on each side; and all together, and especially in combination with a firm, insolent, intelligent look, it created such an impression that it was impossible not to notice this face. Dolokhov was a poor man, without any connections. And despite the fact that Anatole lived in tens of thousands, Dolokhov lived with him and managed to position himself in such a way that Anatole and everyone who knew them respected Dolokhov more than Anatole. Dolokhov played all the games and almost always won. No matter how much he drank, he never lost his clarity of mind. Both Kuragin and Dolokhov at that time were celebrities in the world of rakes and revelers in St. Petersburg.
A bottle of rum was brought; the frame that did not allow anyone to sit on the outer slope of the window was broken out by two footmen, apparently in a hurry and timid from the advice and shouts of the surrounding gentlemen.
Anatole walked up to the window with his victorious look. He wanted to break something. He pushed the lackeys away and pulled the frame, but the frame did not give up. He broke the glass.
“Well, how are you, strong man,” he turned to Pierre.
Pierre took hold of the crossbars, pulled, and with a crash the oak frame turned out.
“Get out, otherwise they’ll think I’m holding on,” said Dolokhov.
“The Englishman is bragging... huh?... good?...” said Anatole.
“Okay,” said Pierre, looking at Dolokhov, who, taking a bottle of rum in his hands, approached the window, from which one could see the light of the sky and the morning and evening dawn merging on it.
Dolokhov, with a bottle of rum in his hand, jumped up onto the window. "Listen!"
he shouted, standing on the windowsill and turning into the room. Everyone fell silent.
- I bet (he spoke French so that an Englishman could understand him, and did not speak this language very well). I bet you fifty imperials, would you like a hundred? - he added, turning to the Englishman.
“No, fifty,” said the Englishman.
- Okay, for fifty imperials - that I will drink the entire bottle of rum without taking it from my mouth, I will drink it while sitting outside the window, right here (he bent down and showed the sloping ledge of the wall outside the window) and without holding on to anything... So? ...
“Very good,” said the Englishman.
Anatole turned to the Englishman and, taking him by the button of his tailcoat and looking down at him (the Englishman was short), began repeating to him the terms of the bet in English.
- Wait! - Dolokhov shouted, banging the bottle on the window to attract attention. - Wait, Kuragin; listen. If anyone does the same, then I pay one hundred imperials. Do you understand?
The Englishman nodded his head, not giving any indication as to whether he intended to accept this new bet or not. Anatole did not let go of the Englishman and, despite the fact that he nodded, letting him know that he understood everything, Anatole translated Dolokhov’s words to him in English. A young thin boy, a life hussar, who had lost that evening, climbed onto the window, leaned out and looked down.
“Uh!... uh!... uh!...” he said, looking out the window at the stone sidewalk.
- Attention! - Dolokhov shouted and pulled the officer from the window, who, entangled in his spurs, awkwardly jumped into the room.
Having placed the bottle on the windowsill so that it would be convenient to get it, Dolokhov carefully and quietly climbed out the window. Dropping his legs and leaning both hands on the edges of the window, he measured himself, sat down, lowered his hands, moved to the right, to the left and took out a bottle. Anatole brought two candles and put them on the windowsill, although it was already quite light. Dolokhov's back in a white shirt and his curly head were illuminated from both sides. Everyone crowded around the window. The Englishman stood in front. Pierre smiled and said nothing. One of those present, older than the others, with a frightened and angry face, suddenly moved forward and wanted to grab Dolokhov by the shirt.
- Gentlemen, this is nonsense; he will be killed to death,” said this more prudent man.
Anatole stopped him:
“Don’t touch it, you’ll scare him and he’ll kill himself.” Eh?... What then?... Eh?...
Dolokhov turned around, straightening himself and again spreading his arms.
“If anyone bothers me again,” he said, rarely letting the words pass through his clenched and thin lips, - I’ll bring him down here now. Well!…
Having said “well”!, he turned again, let go of his hands, took the bottle and brought it to his mouth, threw his head back and threw his free hand up for leverage. One of the footmen, who began to pick up the glass, stopped in a bent position, not taking his eyes off the window and Dolokhov’s back. Anatole stood straight, eyes open. The Englishman, his lips thrust forward, looked from the side. The one who stopped him ran to the corner of the room and lay down on the sofa facing the wall. Pierre covered his face, and a weak smile, forgotten, remained on his face, although it now expressed horror and fear. Everyone was silent. Pierre took his hands away from his eyes: Dolokhov was still sitting in the same position, only his head was bent back, so that the curly hair of the back of his head touched the collar of his shirt, and the hand with the bottle rose higher and higher, shuddering and making an effort. The bottle was apparently emptied and at the same time rose, bending its head. “What’s taking so long?” thought Pierre. It seemed to him that more than half an hour had passed. Suddenly Dolokhov made a backward movement with his back, and his hand trembled nervously; this shudder was enough to move the entire body sitting on the sloping slope. He shifted all over, and his hand and head trembled even more, making an effort. One hand rose to grab the window sill, but dropped again. Pierre closed his eyes again and told himself that he would never open them. Suddenly he felt that everything around him was moving. He looked: Dolokhov was standing on the windowsill, his face was pale and cheerful.
- Empty!
He threw the bottle to the Englishman, who deftly caught it. Dolokhov jumped from the window. He smelled strongly of rum.
- Great! Well done! So bet! Damn you completely! - they shouted from different sides.
The Englishman took out his wallet and counted out the money. Dolokhov frowned and was silent. Pierre jumped onto the window.
Gentlemen! Who wants to bet with me? “I’ll do the same,” he suddenly shouted. “And there’s no need for a bet, that’s what.” They told me to give him a bottle. I'll do it... tell me to give it.
- Let it go, let it go! – said Dolokhov, smiling.
- What you? are you crazy? Who will let you in? “Your head is spinning even on the stairs,” they spoke from different sides.
– I’ll drink it, give me a bottle of rum! - Pierre shouted, hitting the table with a decisive and drunken gesture, and climbed out the window.
They grabbed him by the arms; but he was so strong that he pushed the one who approached him far away.
“No, you can’t persuade him like that for anything,” said Anatole, “wait, I’ll deceive him.” Look, I bet you, but tomorrow, and now we're all going to hell.
“We’re going,” Pierre shouted, “we’re going!... And we’re taking Mishka with us...
And he grabbed the bear, and, hugging and lifting it, began to spin around the room with it.
Prince Vasily fulfilled the promise made at the evening at Anna Pavlovna's to Princess Drubetskaya, who asked him about her only son Boris. He was reported to the sovereign, and, unlike others, he was transferred to the Semenovsky Guard Regiment as an ensign. But Boris was never appointed as an adjutant or under Kutuzov, despite all the efforts and machinations of Anna Mikhailovna. Soon after Anna Pavlovna's evening, Anna Mikhailovna returned to Moscow, straight to her rich relatives, the Rostovs, with whom she stayed in Moscow and with whom her beloved Borenka, who had just been promoted to the army and was immediately transferred to guards ensigns, had been raised and lived for years since childhood. The Guard had already left St. Petersburg on August 10, and the son, who remained in Moscow for uniforms, was supposed to catch up with her on the road to Radzivilov.
The Rostovs had a birthday girl, Natalya, a mother and a younger daughter. In the morning, without ceasing, trains drove up and drove off, bringing congratulators to the large, well-known house of Countess Rostova on Povarskaya throughout Moscow. The countess with her beautiful eldest daughter and guests, who never ceased replacing one another, were sitting in the living room.
The countess was a woman with oriental type thin-faced, about forty-five, apparently exhausted by her children, of whom she had twelve. The slowness of her movements and speech, resulting from weakness of strength, gave her a significant appearance that inspired respect. Princess Anna Mikhailovna Drubetskaya, as home person, sat right there, helping in the matter of receiving and engaging in conversation with guests. The youth were in the back rooms, not finding it necessary to participate in receiving visits. The Count met and saw off the guests, inviting everyone to dinner.
“I am very, very grateful to you, ma chere or mon cher [my dear or my dear] (ma chere or mon cher he said to everyone without exception, without the slightest shade, both above and below him) for himself and for the dear birthday girls . Look, come and have lunch. You will offend me, mon cher. I sincerely ask you on behalf of the whole family, ma chere.” He spoke these words with the same expression on his full, cheerful, clean-shaven face and with an equally strong handshake and repeated short bows to everyone, without exception or change. Having seen off one guest, the count returned to whoever was still in the living room; having pulled up his chairs and with the air of a man who loves and knows how to live, with his legs gallantly spread and his hands on his knees, he swayed significantly, offered guesses about the weather, consulted about health, sometimes in Russian, sometimes in very bad, but self-confident French, and again, with the air of a tired but firm man in fulfilling his duties, he went to see him off, straightening the sparse gray hair on his bald head, and again called for dinner. Sometimes, returning from the hallway, he walked through the flower and waiter's room into a large marble hall, where a table for eighty couverts was being set, and, looking at the waiters wearing silver and porcelain, arranging tables and unrolling damask tablecloths, he called to him Dmitry Vasilyevich, a nobleman, who was taking care of all his affairs, and said: “Well, well, Mitenka, make sure everything is fine. “Well, well,” he said, looking around with pleasure at the huge spread-out table. – The main thing is serving. This and that...” And he left, sighing complacently, back into the living room.
- Marya Lvovna Karagina with her daughter! - the huge countess's footman reported in a bass voice as he entered the living room door.
The Countess thought and sniffed from a golden snuffbox with a portrait of her husband.
“These visits tormented me,” she said. - Well, I’ll take her last one. Very prim. “Beg,” she said to the footman in a sad voice, as if she was saying: “Well, finish it off!”
A tall, plump, proudly looking lady with a round-faced, smiling daughter, rustling their dresses, entered the living room.
“Chere comtesse, il y a si longtemps... elle a ete alitee la pauvre enfant... au bal des Razoumowsky... et la comtesse Apraksine... j"ai ete si heureuse..." [Dear Countess, how long ago... she should have been in bed, poor child... at the Razumovskys' ball... and Countess Apraksina... was so happy...] lively voices were heard women's voices, interrupting one another and merging with the noise of dresses and the moving of chairs. That conversation began, which is started just enough so that at the first pause you can stand up, rustle with your dresses, and say: “Je suis bien charmee; la sante de maman... et la comtesse Apraksine" [I am in admiration; mother’s health... and Countess Apraksina] and, again rustling with dresses, go into the hallway, put on a fur coat or cloak and leave. The conversation turned to the main city news of that time - about the illness of the famous rich and handsome man of Catherine's time, old Count Bezukhy, and about his illegitimate son Pierre, who behaved so indecently at an evening with Anna Pavlovna Scherer.
Metro " Okhotny Ryad"is the station closest to Red Square. It is located between the Lubyanka and the Library. Lenin" on Sokolnicheskaya Line Moscow metro. Let's look at it together.
History of the station and its name
The station is named after the street of the same name. Until the 19th century, there was a square called Okhotny Ryad here. It was called so because this place sold exclusively the spoils of hunters: game, meat and skins. Afterwards, the square begins to perform other commercial functions: hotels, shops and taverns are built here.
In November 1955, the station was renamed Kaganovicha station. This happened because L. M. Kaganovich accepted great participation in the construction of the Moscow metro. Initially, the entire network was named after him underground tunnels, then they decided to replace it with the name V.I. Lenin. And Kaganovich was assigned the name of one station. But already in 1957, Lazar Moiseevich lost all government positions, and the station regained its historical name"Okhotny Ryad"
In November 1961, the square was converted into a street and given the name of Karl Marx. At the same time, the name of the Okhotny Ryad metro station is changing. Only in 1990 was she returned original title. By the way, this is the only station in Moscow that changed its name 4 times.
Technical information about the station
Okhotny Ryad is a three-vaulted pylon station. Located at a depth of 15 m underground, it is the shallowest of the deep stations in the capital. Its construction was carried out by the so-called German way, that is, the walls were erected first, and the vault was already installed on them. The Okhotny Ryad metro station was built using the mountain method according to a specially developed individual project. And the main material for this was block concrete.
When construction began, this underground facility was considered the largest in the world. Of course, everything has changed now. By the way, the central hall was not even included in the project; it was decided to build it already during construction.
Okhotny Ryad is a station with path development. And the control of the switches, as well as traffic lights, is carried out from the “Alexandrovsky Garden”. Before the station was built, there was a double-track branch nearby connecting the tracks with Filevskaya line. But during construction new station the branch and arrow were filled up, and the remaining odd branch is still used for official purposes.
Okhotny Ryad metro station: decoration
The vaults of the hall have massive supports in the form of pylons. They are made in the form of multifaceted columns, also double, which gives them an even more solemn appearance. The columns are lined with marble from Italy in white and gray shades. Their inner side(passages) are lined with Ufaley marble of gray-blue and smoky colors. The track walls are lined with gray marble.
By the way, until 2009 they were covered with ceramic tiles white, and a section of the old tiles can still be seen. The floor at the station is granite, gray shade. The space of the Okhotny Ryad metro station is illuminated by classic round lamps on the ceiling. The name of the station itself is laid out in metal letters on a black background.
The eastern antechamber is decorated with a portrait of Karl Marx, made using the mosaic technique. Its author is E. Reichzaum. The portrait was installed in 1964.
And in 2015, graffiti with poems about the city and images of nearby attractions appeared in one of the station’s passages.
Access to the city and ground infrastructure
Exit from the Okhotny Ryad metro station is to Manezhnaya Square, Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya and Mokhovaya streets, as well as to Bolshaya Dmitrovka. There are public transport stops nearby.
Since the described station is located in the center of the capital, it is easy to guess that there is something to admire and where to go. Lenin Mausoleum, huge amount museums, shops, nightclubs will not make a person get bored at this station. In addition to entertainment places, several large universities of the capital are nearby.
The Okhotny Ryad metro station, the diagram of which you see in the article, opens its doors to visitors at 5:30 am and operates until 1 am.
Interestingly, the famous Oscar-winning film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” took place here. The plot of the film tells about the events that took place in 1958, and filming took place in the 70s. Just at this time the station was renamed from Okhotny Ryad to Prospekt Marksa. For the sake of authenticity, the name was changed, but in one of the episodes you can still see an incident - in the scene with the actress Muravyova, the wrong name appears.
Belonging to the capital's metro. The Lenin Library and Lubyanka station are located nearby. Included in the Tverskoy district. From here you can easily get to Red Square.
How did the name come about?
“Okhotny Ryad” is a metro station that appeared in May 1935. It was part of the first launch site, which belonged to the capital's transport complex. They organized a branch line from this place to Smolenskaya. The fork-type traffic operated here until 1938.
The Okhotny Ryad metro station had a 1:1 balance of vehicles when moving towards the Library named after. Lenin" and "Comintern", which was later renamed "Alexandrovsky Garden". Moving away from Arbat, it is possible to get into a separate line with a tunnel, which is used for official business. The ability to quickly move in such big city receives precisely thanks to the Moscow metro. “Okhotny Ryad” underwent a number of changes when it was built in the mid-90s of the last century. The tunnel was filled in halfway. One path was dismantled, and the second was left intact. Before that, in 1944, a passage to the Teatralnaya station was opened. Previously, you had to use a large lobby.
During 1959, an underground passage was laid under the Okhotny Ryad metro station, the first in the capital. transport network. In 1974, a second similar structure appeared, leading to Teatralnaya station. Work is carried out in each crossing in a one-way direction.
Old times
During the nineteenth century, only trade was carried out here, goods were left in warehouses. There was an opportunity to stay in a hotel or visit a tavern. When 1956 came, the square that was here was redeveloped into a street, which in the period from 1961 to 1990 was a segment of Marx Avenue.
“Okhotny Ryad” is an area where in 1955 the station was named after Kaganovich. This is due to the fact that it previously bore a name associated with the name of this Soviet politician. He supervised the construction process transport complex. Then they paid tribute to Lenin, naming the entire network after him, leaving only one station for Kaganovich.
In 1957 he was removed from leadership public office, and now he enjoyed less honor and respect. Changes took place once again - the station became Prospekt im. Marx." Here three were connected big streets who had important. When the restructuring processes took place in 1990, the station acquired its original name - Okhotny Ryad metro station. The point had to go through a name change four times, which in itself is unique for Moscow.
Interior decoration
Here you can transfer to Teatralnaya. You need to proceed to the escalator, which is located in the center. You can go through the east lobby, where there is also an exit. There is a transfer hub here, from which you can get to Revolution Square. However, you will not find a direct transition. The stations are located very far away.
The underground part in the west is part of Manezhnaya Square. There is a transition to it. You can go through the shopping center. Chechulin created the project for this building, and the house on the surface was reconstructed. It was torn out during a competition and renamed. The project was designed in such a way that there were exteriors, but over time they were lost. They were created by M. Manizer; a teacher from circus school A. Shirai.
Curious details
When they filmed the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears,” the authors decided to focus on the time of filming in 1958. During the episode of the train ride, a track wall with the name of the station was filmed. When the film was released in 1979, the point itself changed its name to “Marx Avenue”. This created the effect of transporting the viewer into the past 20 years. The most interesting thing is that the filming itself took place at Novoslobodskaya.
Technical features
The station has a pylon structure and three vaults, and is laid deep. The project was created individually, based on the mountain method. Monolithic concrete was used for the covering. First, the walls were erected, and then the vaults, based on the German design. When the point was built, it was the largest such deeply embedded station. In accordance with initial plan They didn’t want to build a hall in the center, but then radical changes took place.
The style in which the place is decorated
Here you can see structures that resemble columns with many faces; the cladding consists of gray and white marble. Before this, it was changed by removing the yellow ceramic tiles. The name of the item was written in metal-colored symbols. The background is completely black. The floor was made of gray granite. There are lighting fixtures throughout the hall and near the landing platforms. Previously, there were floor lamps similar to those at Novokuznetskaya.
The convenience of the point lies in the fact that Red Square is easily accessible from here. The Okhotny Ryad metro station is decorated in the east with an image of Marx from a mosaic created by E. Reichzaum.
If we take statistics for March 2002, the passenger flow at the entrance was 97,000 people, and at the exit - 95,000 people. First people transport point accepts at 5:30 am, the last ones at 1:00 am.
Thanks to this location, the transportation needs of many people are met. The work is carried out smoothly and properly.

History and origin of the name
The station was opened on May 15, 1935 as part of the first launch section of the Moscow Metro - Sokolniki - Park Kultury with a branch line Okhotny Ryad - Smolenskaya. Until March 1938, there was a fork traffic from the station (in a 1:1 ratio) in the direction of the Lenin Library and Comintern stations (now Alexandrovsky Garden). After the separation of the Arbat radius into an independent line, the tunnel to the “Alexandrovsky Garden” (at that time this station was called “Comintern”, on December 24, 1946 it became “Kalininskaya”) was used for official purposes. During construction shopping center under Manezhnaya Square in the mid-1990s, the tunnel was half-filled (one track, previously used for traffic from the Alexander Garden, was dismantled, the second was preserved). The underground passage to the Teatralnaya station was opened on December 30, 1944; previously the transition was carried out only through the common vestibule. On November 29, 1959, an exit from the station to one of the first underground passages in Moscow (under Okhotny Ryad) was built.

The square was named after those who were here in XVIII-XIX centuries shops where they sold hunters' catch - killed game and poultry. In the 19th century, Okhotny Ryad acquired an exclusively commercial character: trading shops, warehouses, hotels, and taverns were located there. In 1956, the square was transformed into a street, which in 1961-1990 was part of Marx Avenue. On November 25, 1955, the station was renamed the Imeni Kaganovich station: due to the fact that the Moscow metro, which previously bore the name of the Soviet politician, who supervised the construction of the metro, L.M. Kaganovich, received the name of Lenin, the name of Kaganovich was assigned to one of the stations. In 1957, the former party leader was removed from senior government posts, and in the fall of 1957 (it was not possible to establish more precisely) the station was renamed back to Okhotny Ryad. On November 30, 1961, the station was renamed again - to “Marx Avenue” - after Marx Avenue, which arose in the same year, uniting three central streets and named after the founder of communism, Karl Marx. On November 5, 1990, during perestroika, the station was returned to its original name for the second time (this also corresponded to the renaming “on the surface”: Marx Avenue was eliminated, and Okhotny Ryad Street reappeared). Okhotny Ryad is the only station in Moscow that has been renamed four times.
