Dom na Brestskaya is the congress and exhibition center of the Mosstroyinform State Budgetary Institution, a key platform for demonstrating urban development plans and the results of the Moscow Construction Complex. The main task of the center is to hold congress and exhibition events in the field of urban planning, architecture and design. "House on Brestskaya" begins its history with the creation of the first wooden model of Moscow. In 1975, in connection with the 30th anniversary of the liberation of Budapest from the Nazi invaders, a Hungarian exhibition was organized at VDNKh, in which one of the exhibits was a model of the central part of Budapest. Chief architect of Moscow in 1960-1982 M.V. Posokhin highly appreciated the layout and turned to the Chairman of the Moscow City Council V.F.Promyslov with a proposal to create a similar layout of Moscow. The idea was approved and for 10 years, from 1976 to 1986, two teams of model designers at the Kartolithography factory created the model. It was immediately clear that you should not try to make a model of the whole of Moscow, it would be too huge, given the selected scale of 1: 500. Therefore, we limited ourselves to the central part of the city within the Garden Ring. On the basis of the existing geodetic base, additional geodetic surveys, photographs of existing buildings and materials of the projected buildings, the architects of Mosproekt-1 and Mosproekt-2 developed model drawings. Mosgorgeotrest was also involved in the work. The buildings were made of maple and the reliefs were made of birch. The Kremlin ensemble is made of mahogany, lemon tree, amaranth, holly. The domes of the Kremlin cathedrals are covered with gold leaf. The Moskva River and the Yauza River are made of rosewood. At the same time, the issue of placing the model was being decided, the dimensions of which were determined to be 12x12m (144 sq.m.) and in March 1986 the model was installed in the hall of a specially built building on Brestskaya Street. The model served as a working tool for architects, all houses on it are removable, the model itself consists of sliding parts 2x2 meters. Architects could remove houses from the layout in the area of ​​the projected building, put a new building in this place and evaluate the planning solution. Fidel Castro and Boris Yeltsin were among the first visitors to the exhibition at the House on Brestskaya. Receptions of foreign delegations were held here. At present, the model has been disassembled and mothballed, it is kept in the "House on Brestskaya". The idea of ​​creating a new modern layout of Moscow arose in 2011. Initially, it was planned to make a layout in color, similar to the layout of New York at a scale of 1: 1200, covering the entire territory of Moscow within its historical boundaries. However, after the annexation of new territories to the capital, the concept of the layout was revised. By the decision of the Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin, work on the new layout began in autumn 2012 and was included in the state program "Urban planning policy of the city of Moscow", implemented by the capital's Stroykompleks. With an increase in scale to 1: 400, the emphasis was placed on the central part of the city, covering the Third Transport Ring, all railway stations, as well as the territory of Vorobyovy Gory (including the highest "Stalinist skyscraper" - the building of Moscow State University) and the currently actively developing territory of the ZIL industrial zone ... The main distinguishing feature of the new layout is the amazing detailing of all 6.5 thousand buildings and the recreation of the landscape relief of the capital. Mosaics and bas-reliefs have been recreated on the facades of historic houses. And the smooth surface of the Moskva River is made using a special technique that creates the effect of water ripples. The model is equipped with an interactive building lighting system from the inside, which can be controlled by selecting objects in accordance with the scenario - from the administrative division of the city territory to the typology of objects (residential buildings, administrative buildings, cultural objects, transport objects, etc.). The miniature architectural lighting, which was used in the design of exits from the metro, temple complexes, bridges and such iconic structures as the Moscow Kremlin, made it possible to achieve even greater expressiveness. The famous chiming clock on the Kremlin's Spasskaya Tower and the ringing of the bells of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior are accurately reproduced on the model due to the speakers mounted inside. At present, the area of ​​the exhibited model is 120 square meters. The work on manufacturing will be completed in 2017 and will cover an area of ​​945 square meters, which will cover the middle zone of Moscow, beyond the Third Transport Ring. In 2012, a decision was made to create a map of the city, which will be embedded in the floor. The development of the project and preparation for construction work in the "House on Brestskaya" began. The model of the city is transported to the territory of VDNKh in pav. No. 75. In 2014, the grand opening of the map of Moscow on a scale of 1: 500 took place. This is a 178 square meter floor "lightbox". The map is inherently unique, the glass blocks are illuminated from below, and the images specified by the software are projected from above, from which the scenarios of the map display are composed. Today, the specialists of the House on Brestskaya, using a map and a video wall, tell Muscovites and guests of the capital about the city's development programs, architectural styles, the history of the Metro, renovation of industrial zones, reconstruction of the Moscow Railway, and the history of urban planning.

Quite often, people who live in Moscow or who have arrived in the capital for a while try to understand the structure of the local metro. It is difficult for them to immediately understand which branch is radial, and why it is called that.

In our article, we will give answers to these questions. In addition, a list of stations that are such will be presented below.

Where is

Practically only in the Moscow metro one can hear the word "radial" when it comes to a specific station. The fact is that there is a Ring Line in the metropolitan subway. On metro maps of past years, it is marked as a geometric brown circle. But besides it, there are other lines that cross it.

It is worth delving into history for a while in order to understand where these branches (radial) came from, what kind of stations they are. The first thing in 1935 was built ("Park Kultury" - "Sokolniki"), then the construction of the Zamoskvoretskaya line began, then over time other branches appeared. By the way, even now on the metro map, as well as in modern trains with an electronic board above the doors, you can see numbers indicating the line (branch) number. The numbering was not chosen by chance. It just means the chronological sequence of construction.

The circular line is the fifth in a row. It has become, in fact, a transfer. And each station on this line has a transfer hub (neighboring stations belonging to other lines). It is they who are radial. Which metro line intersects with the Koltsevaya, will be described below.

Why "radial"

Why did they come up with such a strange term - "radial", and why do Muscovites use this word? The fact is that it is used due to the presence of a radius at the Ring line. That is, as mentioned earlier, this branch is a circle. And any circle always has a radius, that is, the distance from its center to any edge. And just on these edges there are transfer stations. Hence the term "radial" appeared.

For example, a passenger is traveling from Vykhino to the Taganskaya-radial station, which line he does not know. He needs to get to Paveletskaya-Koltsevaya. And, of course, knowledgeable people will explain to him that he needs to get to the Taganka, and then go from the radial to the Koltso. That is, on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line, the Taganskaya station is radial.

What stations

To make it easier to understand which stations are radial, which subway lines are, it is worth considering their full list, starting from the Park Kultury station of the Sokolnicheskaya line and clockwise:

• "Park Kultury" Sokolnicheskaya;
• "Kievskaya" Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya;
• "Kievskaya" by Filevskaya;
• "Barrikadnaya" Tagansko-Kranopresnenskaya;
• "Belorusskaya" Zamoskvoretskaya;
• "Mendeleevskaya" Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya;
• "Prospect Mira" Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya;
• "Komsomolskaya" Sokolnicheskaya;
• Kurskaya Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya;
• "Chkalovskaya" Lublinskaya;
• "Taganskaya" Tagansko-Kranopresnenskaya;
• "Marxist" Kalininskaya;
• "Paveletskaya" Zamoskvoretskaya;
• "Serpukhovskaya" Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya;
• "Oktyabrskaya" Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya.

Each branch has its own color coding. The ring line, we repeat, has been brown from the very beginning of its existence.

How not to get confused in transitions

It should be noted right away that the word "radial" is not officially used. The informant on the trains uses other phrases, for example, upon arrival at the station "Komsomolskaya" of the Circle Line, the informant of the train will announce: "Station" Komsomolskaya ". Transition to the Sokolnicheskaya line. It's the same with pointers. There is nowhere the phrase "transition to the radial", instead of it, for example: "The transition to the Arbat-Pokrovskaya line."

For convenience, a color scheme is used. Muscovites who often use the subway know what color the radial branches are. For guests and people who rarely use the metro, we can provide a hint.

The Moscow Metro is a rather complex transport facility. At first, it will be very difficult for a beginner to navigate. Therefore, it is advisable to always have a diagram with you, either printed, or as an application on a smartphone.

In conclusion, I would like to point out one very common mistake. Sometimes, unknowingly, people ask: what is "radial", what kind of branch is it? And the concept "radial", as you have seen, refers to the fifteen stations listed above. Therefore, you need to know which of them we are talking about.

Sheremetyevo - Belorussky railway station. How to get there by Aeroexpress?

Aeroexpress - a modern electric train of the “aero” series - runs daily in the direction of Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow Region, Khimki) from the Belorussky Railway Station in Moscow.

Flights operate from 5:30 am to 00:30 am. Including weekends and holidays. There are no stops. Travel time is exactly 35 minutes. In the opposite direction, the Aeroexpress runs from 5:00 to 00:30.

We find the aeroexpress terminal at the station

You can get to the Aeroexpress terminal at the Belorussky railway station through two entrances of the latter - the third and the fourth. You reach the Belorusskaya-Koltsevaya metro station (this is the brown subway line) and go up the escalator.

There are two escalators: near the first carriages of the train heading towards Krasnopresnenskaya, and near the last carriages of the train heading towards Novoslobodskaya.

There is only one escalator at the Belorusskaya-radialnaya station (green line of the metro), which leads in the direction of the exit to the Belorussky railway station. Between the two named stations, in the middle, there is a transition.

Finding the Aeroexpress terminal at the airport

The terminal of the "aero" series electric train in Sheremetyevo is located near the terminal of the "E" airport, which is in the southern part of the air harbor. From Terminals "F" and "D" you can reach the Aeroexpress by walking through the pedestrian galleries and following the signs.

From Terminal C, which is located in the northern part of the airport, you can take a free shuttle to the Aeroexpress terminal with your boarding pass or air ticket. You will spend about 20 minutes on the way.
