Exit from the Belarusian radial to the roundabout. Belorusskaya station of the Circle Line

Belorusskaya is one of the very first metro stations built in Moscow. It is part of the Zamoskvoretskaya line. "Belorusskaya" is adjacent to the "Dynamo" and "Mayakovskaya" stations and is located just under Tverskaya Zastava Square. This is the Central District of Moscow, the Tverskoy district, which got its name from Tverskaya Street.

Station history

It was planned to build a station at the Belorussky Station along Tverskaya Street in the early 30s of the 20th century. According to the then master plan for the reconstruction of Moscow, Belorusskaya was supposed to have two exits - one built into Belorussky railway station, and the other was supposed to lead to a residential area. But the second solution remains on paper for now.

« Belorusskaya" was launched in the second stage of the Moscow metro. This happened on September 11, 1938.

During the Great Patriotic War part of the station was fenced off for the central command post. The second part was used for its intended purpose during the day, and as a bomb shelter at night.

In the early 50s of the twentieth century, a passage leading to the Belorusskaya station of the Circle Line was opened from the Belorusskaya Zamoskvoretskaya Line. And in the 70s, the station underwent its first major overhaul. At the beginning of the new millennium, the station and the passage leading to the Circle Line were renovated again and new escalators were installed.

History of the name

The station received its name “Belorusskaya” due to the widely known feature film"Belorussky Station" (1970). The fact is that the only exit of the station leads directly to the station building, which serves long-distance trains in the northern, southwestern and western directions.

However, at the construction stage there were two options for the name of the station - “Belorussky Station” and “Belorussian-Baltic Station”. The second option is due to the fact that from 1922 to 1936 the “Belorussky Station” was called “Belorussian-Baltic”.

Description of the station

The hall of the Belorusskaya station is decorated with marble of different shades and varieties. According to the authors of the project, architects N. Andrikanis and N. Bykova, thanks to this technique it was possible to minimize the feeling of depth and give the station the appearance of an exquisite underground palace. To make the heavy structure seem lighter, recesses were made in the pylons with built-in lamps on bronze floor lamps.

The marble on the pylons of the central hall has a pink tint. On top they are decorated with stucco with Belarusian, which is quite logical, national ornaments. At one time, the floor in the main hall was laid out in the form of a Belarusian ornament. Now the floor pattern resembles a chessboard made of black diabase and gray granite.

The track walls are decorated with marble (white at the top, black at the bottom). Lighting in the central and side halls of the station is provided by pendant chandeliers, as well as floor lamps in the niches of the pylons of the central hall.

The hall of the Belorusskaya station belongs to the objects cultural heritage Moscow.

Specifications

The Belorusskaya station has a standard design of a three-vaulted pylon structure. The depth of the station is 34 m. The length of the platform is 155 m.

The central hall is 9.5 m in diameter, the side halls are 8.5 m. The distance to the Mayakovskaya station is one kilometer, to the Dynamo station - more than two kilometers.

For overnight parking and maintenance of the moving stock, the station has reversible dead ends. Trains are tested on the Belorusskaya-Dynamo section, since it is straight and it is allowed to reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour.

Lobbies and transfers

Exit from this station is possible through the only ground-based vestibule, which is built into the north-eastern wing of the Belorussky railway station building. The exterior of the lobby is decorated with black granite. Inside, the pavilion is divided into two halls by a colonnade and turnstiles. The first hall has ticket offices and two entrances to Tverskaya Zastava Square and Leningradsky Prospekt. In the second hall there is an escalator and there is access to Tverskaya Zastava Square. The walls of the room are lined with dark pink marble with purple veins. There is also an inscription with the opening date of the station.

The technique of connecting the escalator to the concourse was an innovation in the construction of pre-war station concourses.
A three-belt escalator 30.5 meters high seems to pierce the floor of the second floor. At the same time, through the oval opening for the moving staircase, fenced off by a low turnstile, it is interesting to look at the first floor of the lobby.

In the center of the hall you can change to the Belorusskaya station of the Circle Line. There is an escalator in the passage, red and black granite on the floor, marble on the walls, and the sculpture “Belarusian Partisans” at the end. Marble floor lamps illuminate the transition. The arches are decorated with Florentine mosaics, laid out in the style of the national Belarusian ornament. They were made by the artist Grigory Opryshko. For the decoration of the Belorusskaya metro station in 1952, he became the Laureate of the Stalin Prize, 3rd degree.

Attractions

The main attraction in the Belorusskaya metro area is located 200 m from the exit from the station to Tverskaya Zastava Square. This is the Old Believer Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, dating back to the beginning of the last century. It was built on the site of a wooden chapel.

The background to the appearance of the temple is as follows. In the 19th century, a community of Old Believers was organized near the Tverskaya Zastava, which owned an old wooden chapel. When the community became stronger, they decided to build a larger temple instead of a small wooden chapel. The new church was consecrated in 1921 on the day when Orthodox Christians honor the memory of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. But the services here did not last long. After 14 years the temple was closed, and during the war it was turned into a warehouse for the local air defense. In subsequent years, the religious building was transferred to the sculptor S. Orlov as a workshop. It was here that he worked on the monument to the founder of Moscow, Yuri Dolgoruky. Then the workshops of the art and production plant named after E. Vuchetich were located in the church premises. The Old Believer Metropolis returned the temple to itself only in 1993, and two years later services were resumed there.

Ground infrastructure

The exits of the ground lobby of the Belorusskaya station lead to Gruzinsky Val Street, Tverskaya Zastava Square, Second Brestskaya Street and, of course, to the Belorussky Station. There are several public transport stops near the metro, there are cafes, restaurants, and there are also pharmacies, beauty salons, grocery and industrial stores. Half a kilometer from the Belorusskaya metro station there are two hotels - the Holiday Inn Lesnaya and the Sheraton Palace.

Story

The plan for the construction of a metro line, located along modern Tverskaya Street and Leningradsky Prospekt, appeared in the year. It was planned to build a station near the Belorussky railway station. In the master plan for the reconstruction of Moscow of the year, the location was finally approved future station metro station "Belorusskaya". In the original project, the station was called Belorussky Station.

The construction of the Belorusskaya metro station was carried out using a closed method. In order to integrate the station lobby into the Belorussky Station building, the architects had to replace the load-bearing wall with a colonnade. It was assumed that Belorusskaya would have a second exit to the residential area (this project was not implemented). The station was opened on September 11 of the year as part of the section “Sokol” - “Sverdlov Square” (now “Teatralnaya”) of the second stage of construction, after the commissioning of which there were 22 stations in the Moscow metro.

Architecture and decoration

Lobby

The Belorusskaya metro station has one above-ground vestibule, built into the north-eastern wing of the Belorussky railway station. The outside of the lobby is lined with black granite. The lobby area is divided into two halls by a colonnade and turnstiles. The paired columns are covered with white marble. The cladding was carried out to give entasis to the fust columns.

The first hall contains ticket offices and two entrances. The main entrance to the station is located from Tverskaya Zastava Square. The station also has a second entrance from Leningradsky Prospekt - a small bridge connects the Tverskoy overpass with the doors on the second floor of the station building, from where a staircase leads to the ticket office. The walls of the ticket hall are lined with gray Ufaley marble.

In the second hall there is an escalator and access to Tverskaya Zastava Square. The walls of the escalator hall are lined with dark pink Birobidzhan marble with purple veins. There is a commemorative inscription in the wall indicating the opening date of the station.

The design of the connection between the escalator and the lobby is original to pre-war stations. For the escalator, an elliptical hole was made in the floor of the station, surrounded by a small barrier. Thanks to this, when ascending the escalator, passengers have a wide view of the lobby. Subsequently, this technique became widespread in the Moscow metro. The three-belt escalator model ET-3M has a height of 30.6 meters. It connects the lobby to the northern end of the station.

Station halls

Three different types of marble were used in the cladding of the station hall. By varying the shades of marble, the architects tried to reduce the feeling of the “subway” and ensure that passengers felt like they were in an underground palace. The naves of the station are separated from each other, and the central hall acquires the main volumetric and spatial significance. To visually lighten the heavy structure of the station, niches were installed in the pylons on the side of the central hall, each of which had a lamp mounted on a bronze floor lamp.

The semi-oval niches of the central hall are lined with onyx of various tones. If in the lower part of the niches the onyx slabs have a dark tone and a sharp pattern of veins, then in the upper rows of tiles the pattern is lighter and calmer. Every vertical row The cladding is framed with a bronze bead to emphasize the texture of onyx.

Initially, the floor of the central hall was covered with richly patterned marble mosaics. Nowadays the floor of the station is laid out in a checkerboard pattern with slabs of gray granite and black diabase.

The track walls, originally decorated with blue glazed tiles, are now covered with white marble, with black marble in the lower part. The station is illuminated by pendant chandeliers in the central and side halls, as well as bronze floor lamps in the niches of the pylons of the central hall.

At the southern end of the central hall, on a pedestal made of black diabase, there is a bust of V. I. Lenin made of dark gray granite.

Architects of the station and lobby N. N. Andrikanis, N. A. Bykova. The construction of the station was carried out by Mine 79-80 (SMU-8) of Mosmetrostroy (head F. Kuzmin). The entrance hall of the Belorusskaya metro station and its ground vestibule are identified objects of cultural heritage of the city of Moscow.

Transfer to the Circle Line

From the center of the hall you can transfer to the Belorusskaya station on the Circle Line (the transition opened in 1952). The passage is equipped with a three-belt escalator type ET25 with stainless steel balustrades. At the end of the upper entrance hall of the passage there is a monumental sculptural group “Belarusian Partisans”. Eight original floor lamps, lined with marble and decorated with stone mosaics, are also installed there. The floor of the passage is covered with red and black granite, the walls are lined with marble.

Florentine mosaics on the themes of the Belarusian national ornament were used in the design of the transition arches. The architect of the Belorusskaya station, N.A. Bykova, noted that although the transition was poorly successful, the arches leading to the Circle Line turned out to be beautiful. The artist G. I. Opryshko worked on their design together with the architect I. G. Taranov.

Path development

Behind the station there are reversible dead ends used for night layover and Maintenance trains The stretch between the Belorusskaya and Dynamo stations is used to test trains, since it is direct and is allowed maximum speed 100 km/h.

Belorussky Station in Moscow is a large transport node, providing passengers with a wide range of necessary services.

"Belorusskaya" is a station on the Circle Line of the Moscow Metro. Located under Tverskaya Zastava Square between the Krasnopresnenskaya and Novoslobodskaya stations. Located on the territory of the Tverskoy district of Central administrative district Moscow. The station was opened on January 30, 1952 as part of the Kurskaya - Belorusskaya section. Named after the Belorussky railway station, near which it is located. It has a transition to the Belorusskaya station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line.

The first metro station near the Belorussky railway station was the Belorusskaya station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line, opened in 1938 as part of the second stage of the metro. IN original plans Moscow metro Circle line was not included. Instead, it was planned to build “diametrical” lines with transfers in the city center. The first project of the Circle Line appeared in 1934. Then it was planned to build this line under Garden Ring with 17 stations. According to the 1938 project, it was planned to build the line much further from the center than was subsequently built. The planned stations were “Usachevskaya”, “Kaluzhskaya Zastava”, “Serpukhovskaya Zastava”, “Stalin Plant”, “Ostapovo”, “Sickle and Hammer Plant”, “Lefortovo”, “Spartakovskaya”, “Krasnoselskaya”, “Rzhevsky Station”, “Savelovsky Station”, “Dynamo”, “Krasnopresnenskaya Zastava”, “Kyiv”. In 1941, the Circle Line project was changed. Now they planned to build it closer to the center. In 1943, a decision was made on the extraordinary construction of the Circle Line along the current route in order to relieve congestion at the interchange hub " Okhotny Ryad" - "Sverdlov Square" - "Revolution Square". The Circle Line became the fourth phase of construction. In 1947, it was planned to commission the line in four sections: “ Central Park culture and recreation" - "Kurskaya", "Kurskaya" - "Komsomolskaya", "Komsomolskaya" - "Belorusskaya" (then merged with the second section) and "Belorusskaya" - "Central Park of Culture and Recreation". It was planned to build two lobbies at Belorusskaya, but only one was built. The first section, "Park Kultury" - "Kurskaya", was opened on January 1, 1950, the second, "Kurskaya" - "Belorusskaya", - on January 30, 1952, and the third, "Belorusskaya" - "Park Kultury", closing the line in ring, - March 14, 1954. Go to Zamoskvoretskaya line opened immediately after the opening of the station. In 1994, the station was reconstructed, during which the beautiful mosaic floor was replaced with granite with a simplified design. Until 1997, the station had one vestibule (west). The eastern lobby was opened on August 25, 1997 on Lesnaya Street. Between May 29 and December 10, 2010, the transition to the Circle Line was closed. Conducted renovation work and replacement of escalators. Commemorative tickets were issued for the opening of the crossing.

BC "White Square" - this place is incredibly attractive to me. Here it is as if you find yourself abroad for a few minutes. The spirit of the West really lives here. In the White Square Business Center, office blocks of various sizes are rented by such well-known companies as: PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte & Touche, McKinsey, Microsoft, Swedbank.

• Address: st. Lesnaya, 5SS
• How to get there:
  
  1) Metro:
  m. "Belorusskaya" Circle line, exit to Tverskoye-Yamskiye streets. To exit the metro onto the street, take the steps to the right. Once on the street, you will see the buildings of the Business Center in front of you.

  2) By car:
  - when driving along 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street towards the region, you must turn right onto Lesnaya Street. The White Square business center will be on the left as you move.
  - when driving along Leningradsky Prospekt to the center, having crossed the bridge over the Belorusskaya Railway, you need to turn right onto Tverskaya Zastava Square, then make a left turn, as if going around the square. At the traffic light (intersection with 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street), keep the left lane and move towards Butyrsky Val. 400 m after the intersection, on your right, immediately after the church, the White Square Business Center will be located.
  - you can park your car either on Lesnaya Street or on Butyrsky Val Street.

Church on Belorusskaya.

Triumphal Gate stood for a little over a hundred years. But in 1936, the area near the Belorussky Station was completely redesigned and the arch was dismantled. According to the plan for the reconstruction of the square, it was assumed that it would be reassembled there, but for some reason the plan was not implemented in this part. In disassembled (and, naturally, stolen) form, it lay somewhere in warehouses for 30 years. Only in 1966–1968. it was finally decided to restore it, but in a different place, on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, next to the Panorama Museum of the Battle of Borodino. We had to work hard: at the Mytishchi plant, 12 columns were cast from the only surviving column. The Belorussky Station itself is also interesting from an architectural point of view. Its first building was built in 1871. Soviet time it bore the name “gateway to Europe”. From here trains went to Berlin and Paris.

In the coming years, the large-scale area will undergo changes again. It is expected that there will be a small park area and an impressive underground shopping complex. If you leave the metro station following the signs to Lesnaya Street, you will see a very beautiful, strict Old Believer church of the early twentieth century. With a picturesque ornament unusual for Moscow churches.
