Station history

Metro "Kropotkinskaya" is one of the very first stations of the Moscow metro. It was opened on May 15, 1935 as part of the Sokolniki - Park of Culture section.

The station project was awarded the Grand Prix at exhibitions in Brussels in 1935 and Paris in 1937, as well as the Stalin Prize in 1941.

History of the name

The name of the station comes from Kropotkinskaya Street and Kropotkin Gate Square. Let us recall that P. A. Kropotkin was a famous traveler, geographer and anarchist theorist. Today, Kropotkinskaya Square, like the street, has been renamed and is called Prechistenskaya Gate and Prechistenskaya Street.

The station was not always called “Kropotkinskaya”. Until October 8, 1957, it bore the name “Palace of Soviets.” This is due to the fact that until 1931, not far from the station, there was the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which was demolished. In its place they planned to erect the Palace of the Soviets - a grandiose building in which congresses and celebrations were to be held. The Palace of the Soviets was to become the most important Stalin's skyscraper countries. It was planned that the roof of the building would be at an altitude of 420 meters (at that time the highest tall building in the world), and on top there will be a huge statue of V.I. Lenin. Construction work were carried out in the 30s and 50s, but apart from the colossal size of the foundation, nothing was built. After construction was abandoned, the foundation pit was used to build the Moscow outdoor swimming pool, and the foundation was used to restore the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

On December 5, 2008, His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Alexy II died, in whose memory social movement“Return” proposed renaming the “Kropotkinskaya” station to “Patriarshaya”.

Description of the station

Until the end of the 50s, the track walls were lined with faience tiles. Then the tiles were replaced with Ural marble of a grayish-white Koelga shade. The decagonal columns of the station are also lined with this stone. Initially, the flooring of the station was asphalt. Today, the floor of the station is covered with gray and red granite slabs laid out in a checkerboard pattern. The station is illuminated by lamps mounted in the capitals of the columns. The cash register area is decorated with marble.

Specifications

The Kropotkinskaya metro station is a three-span shallow column station located at a depth of 13 meters. Monolithic concrete structures were used during construction.

Lobbies and transfers

Metro "Kropotkinskaya" has ground vestibule, located at the very beginning of Gogolevsky Boulevard. The author of the lobby project is S. M. Kravets. From the lobby you can get to Prechistensky Gate Square, Gagarinsky Lane and Gogolevsky Boulevard. New exit leads to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Vsekhsvyatsky Lane and Volkhonka Street.

Ground infrastructure

There are several theaters near the station: the Moscow State Variety Theater, the Old Arbat Theater House, and the Center for Opera Singing under the direction of Galina Vishnevskaya.

History buffs can visit the Museum of Personal Collections, the Museum of the History of the Red October Confectionery Factory, the Moscow House of Photography and State Museum A. S. Pushkin and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

Numerous restaurants, cafes and the Game Bag gaming hall will gladly welcome visitors.

Useful facts

Opening hours of the Kropotkinskaya station vestibules: western - 5:30-1:00; Eastern - 6:30-22:30.

The main hall of the station was to be located in the underground vestibule of the Palace of the Soviets, construction of which began in 1939. By the beginning of the war, 7 floors were ready, but then the metal frame was dismantled and used to make anti-tank hedgehogs.

In 2005, 10 thousand silver commemorative coins “Kropotkinskaya metro station” were issued. The denomination of the coin is 3 rubles.

On May 16, 2010, a concert of the Kremlin Chamber Orchestra took place at the station, and the concert was held at night. This was the third event held in the Moscow metro. Previously, similar concerts were held at Mayakovskaya station. In addition to the concert, which metro workers and ordinary passengers could attend absolutely free, at the station it was possible to see the Aquarelle art gallery, and the Sokolniki retro train was used as the mezzanine.

The Kropotkinskaya metro station on the Sokolnicheskaya line of the Moscow metro was inaugurated in 1935 on May 15 and was part of the first section of the Moscow metro, which then stretched from Sokolniki to Park Kultury.

The project name - “Kropotkin Gate” - was given in consonance with the nearby street of the same name (now -). In connection with plans to build the Palace of Soviets on the site of the bombed one, the metro station was called the “Palace of Soviets” until 1957.

The metro station was built according to a special project. Monolithic concrete was used as the main material. Construction and type: shallow, three-span column.

Leading architects and engineers were involved in the design of the Kropotkinskaya metro station Soviet Union, including Alexey Nikolaevich Dushkin, Yakov Grigorievich Lichtenberg, Samuil Mironovich Kravets and others.

The originality of the project was recognized not only in the country, but also abroad. Thus, he was noted at the Paris and Brussels international exhibitions of 1937 and 1958, and at the latter he received the “Grand Prix”. In addition, in 1941 the creators were awarded the Stalin Prize of the second degree. The object was declared an architectural monument in 1979.

Construction history and development

Initially, the project of the Kropotkinskaya metro station was given special meaning, associated with the decision to build a grandiose Palace of the Soviets on Volkhonka.

The designers proceeded from the fact that visits to this building by numerous delegations from the country itself and from abroad would require increased capacity from the station. It is this circumstance that led to an increase in the width of the platform, which is several meters larger than similar platforms of other stations of the first stage of the Moscow Metro.

The decor of the Kropotkinskaya station, at the beginning of its operation, used tubs with palm trees, which were installed in the passage between the ticket office area and the lobby.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of light, the plants withered and did not develop, and the huge tubs were an obstacle to the movement of passengers. All this became the reason for the dismantling of this design element.

The decorative element of the station are columns with capitals at the top. They are located in two rows and are lined with noble gray-white marble.

It is worth noting that the capitals themselves were originally made of plaster, with lamps hidden from view mounted at the bottom. An original lighting solution that visually increases the volume of the hall was developed by architect Dushkin.

To achieve the full effect, marble capitals were needed, but due to lack of time they had to be abandoned. They were completed as such only in 1961 during the first reconstruction of the Kropotkinskaya metro station, when work was carried out on constructing a second exit.

In the same 1961, slabs of Ural marble were installed on the track walls, replacing the previous faience tile cladding, and they were also lined with gray and granite pink shades platform floor.

The station was opened on May 15, 1935 as part of the first launch section of the Moscow Metro - Sokolniki -. with branch " Okhotny Ryad" - . Received its name from former square Kropotkinskaya Gate and Kropotkinskaya Street (now Prechistenskaya Gate Square and Prechistenskaya Street), named after Pyotr Alekseevich Kropotkin, a geographer and traveler, anarchist theorist, who was born in this area.

Until October 8, 1957 it was called the “Palace of Soviets”. Next to the station, on the site of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which was demolished in 1931, it was planned to erect a grandiose Palace of the Soviets. The metro station hall was designed as an underground vestibule for the Palace. Construction of the Palace began in 1939, but was interrupted before the war, and during the war the metal frame of the already completed seven floors of the building was used to make anti-tank hedgehogs. The project was never implemented. Later, the abandoned pit dug for the Palace was used for the Moscow swimming pool, opened in 1960. In 1994, a decision was made to rebuild the temple (restored and consecrated by the beginning of 2000), the pool was closed. The design name of the station is “Kropotkin Gate”.

On December 5, 2008, on the day of the death of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Rus', the public movement “Return” proposed renaming the station “Patriarchal”.

There is a ground vestibule of a semi-circular shape in the form of an arch, built according to the design of the architect S. M. Kravets and located at the beginning of Gogolevsky Boulevard. Through it there is access to Gogolevsky Boulevard, Prechistensky Gate Square and Gagarinsky Lane. In 1997, together with the Temple, the northern exit was opened, leading to underground passages (architect A.K. Ryzhkov) - to Volkhonka Street, Vsekhsvyatsky Lane, and to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior itself.

The station project was awarded the Grand Prix at international exhibitions in Paris (1937) and Brussels (1935), and the Stalin Prize for architecture and construction (1941).

The station design is a shallow three-span column (laying depth is 13 m). Built according to a special project from monolithic concrete. Architects - A.N. Dushkin, Ya.G. Lichtenberg. Architects of the lobbies: western - S.M. Kravets, eastern - A.K. Ryzhkov (1961). Design engineer - N.A. Kabanov. The station is designed for large passenger traffic, but currently its huge hall is poorly loaded.

The station's decagonal columns and track walls are decorated with grayish-white Ural marble "koelga" (until the end of the 1950s, the track walls were covered with faience tiles). The floor is laid out with pink and gray granite in a checkerboard pattern (originally the surface was asphalt). The lamps are built into the capitals in upper parts columns The walls of the ticket hall are lined with marble.

In the future, it is planned to build a passage from the center of the hall to future station"Volkhonka" Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line.

Addition from botsman_m (see comments): 34 10-sided supports alternate with more massive quadrangular pylons - they stand in places of the strongest soil pressure (expansion joints pass there), where it was necessary to strengthen the supports, at the same time, such interleaving creates a certain rhythmic pattern.

On the night of May 16, 2010, a night concert of the Kremlin Chamber Orchestra took place. From 1:30 until the end of the concert, the Sokolniki Retro Train and Aquarelle were located at the station, the Aquarelle art gallery was open before the concert and closed due to the publication of a kind of “sneeze”, and the Sokolniki Retro Train served as a mezzanine.

Retro train "Sokolniki" at the Kropotkinskaya station. Stylized as the first train of the Moscow metro, which consisted of type A cars. Created by special order at the manufacturing company (Metrovagonmash), new cars were used. It is a train of model 81-717 cars with a modified front part of the head cars, painted in colors typical of the 1930s metro.
