Plan of the station "Krasnoselskaya" 1935.1. 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 Okhotny Ryad - Smolenskaya. Named after the former area of Krasnoe Selo.
2. A feature of the Krasnoselskaya design scheme is the arrangement of columns in one row along the axis of the station, and not in two, as at other similar stations of the first stage. No large passenger traffic was forecasted at Krasnoselskaya, so the platform was made narrower. It was assumed that the station will have two exits to the city, but for the opening only one ground lobby was built at the intersection of Krasnoprudnaya and Verkhnyaya Krasnoselskaya streets.

3. Construction of the station began in the spring of 1933. According to the initial project, it was supposed to lay a line under Krasnoprudnaya Street. The beginning of the street before the construction of the metro was hampered by low-value buildings that belonged to the Northern Railway (now the Yaroslavl direction of the Moscow Railway). With an open method of work, street traffic would be disrupted. In the process of clarification, the project was changed, it was decided to demolish the low-value buildings, and move the line route to the west. This made it possible to leave the entire eastern part of the street, together with tram lines, free to allow city traffic. In the photo you can see a huge ventilation grille - this is VSh-170. At the first stage, some VS go out like this to the station. In my opinion, a strange decision.
4. Over the 75 years that have passed since the opening, the station has undergone minor alterations. Time touched the platform's coverage and lighting. At the opening of the station, semicircular lamps were installed in caissons above the side halls, which were subsequently replaced by ball chandeliers. A later change in lighting occurred with the advent of fluorescent lamps. New lighting fixtures are installed in the spaces between the columns along the axis of the station. Due to the nature of the architecture, this replacement is not as painful to the eye as in other stations.
5. A great difficulty in opening the pit was created by the removal of the excavated soil. Trucks could not cope, mountains of unexploited rock towered along the entire route, interfering with work and cluttering up the already cramped sites. It was impossible to take out such a volume of land by cars alone, although by decision of the government, the entire truck fleet of Moscow worked on the removal of soil two days a month. An unusual method was used: a temporary tram track was laid along the edge of the station pit, and the developed rock was taken out by tram trains.
6. Almost all stations of the first stage have rather peculiar planning solutions for lobbies and approach corridors. This station is no exception.
7. The last changes at the station happened quite recently. On the eve of the 70th anniversary, the ceramic tiles that remained on the floor in the passages and on the bridges were finally replaced by granite. This is how this place looked in January 2004.

10. I don’t remember if this yellow color was always there?
11. Panel in the lobby.
12. Night placement at the station.
13. Due to the absence of a large influx of passengers, the second exit (from the eastern end of the platform), which was supposed to go to Gavrikov Street, was never completed. Perhaps because of this, the station was renamed shortly before its launch into Krasnoselskaya. Let's see what's in there?
14. Apparently, the lower part of the exit in the structures is ready. But there is no access corridor and lobby.
15. Stairs are made inside.
16. And it is almost an exact copy of the current exit. But if you go upstairs, then you can find only service premises.
17. The columns, located on the longitudinal axis of the station hall, are decorated with dark yellow, white and gray marble, the walls of the station are lined with ceramic tiles. The station platform, first covered with asphalt, was later paved with tiles, which have recently been replaced by granite slabs.

Many thanks to the press service of the Moscow metro and the service of tunnel structures for organizing the shooting.
Krasnoselskaya was the first metro station where I had an official filming.
The Krasnoselskaya metro station is one of the oldest in the Moscow metro. For several generations of Muscovites living in the area, it has become a familiar element of the city's transport infrastructure. But this is not at all a reason not to take a closer look at this architectural monument of the Soviet era.
From the history of the Moscow metro
The Krasnoselskaya metro station was put into operation in May 1935. This was the first line of the Moscow metro. On May 15, the first train delivered the first passengers from Sokolniki station to Park Kultury station. It was an epoch-making event in the history of the capital, when the train with the first passengers also passed through the Krasnoselskaya metro station. Moscow on this day, along with London, Paris and Berlin, became the European capital with its own underground.
This word itself, translated from Latin, means "capital". The metro is a very complex and expensive transport system. Most often, only large megalopolises - the capitals of developed high-tech countries - have it. So the metro also has a status value. And in Moscow in May 1935, trains went underground as a result of three years of hard work by metro builders, among whom were both native Muscovites and workers from all over vast Russia who came to work in the capital. The project of the Krasnoselskaya metro station as part of the first start-up phase began to be developed in 1925. And ideas about the need to build a metro network in Moscow were repeatedly expressed even before the First World War.
Engineering and construction features
By the type of its design, the Krasnoselskaya metro station is a two-aisle, shallow column station with a straight island platform. The vault is supported by a row of columns along the axis of the station hall. The platform itself is noticeably narrower than others, including those located on the same Sokolnicheskaya line. This is explained by an elementary design error. The lack of practical experience in the field of metro construction did not allow the developers to estimate the amount of passenger traffic and correctly calculate the required platform width.
Of course, in the future, the necessary amendments were made. But this applies to other underground structures. And the Krasnoselskaya metro station remained as we know it today.
Architecture and design
All architecture bears the indelible imprint of the early Soviet era. In the thirties, that pompous style, which would later be called, was just beginning to take shape. At this time, the dominant influence of constructivism with its rationality and lack of excesses is still felt. All these contradictory tendencies can be easily noticed in the architecture of the Krasnoselskaya metro station. Its general volumetric-spatial solution is fully consistent with the classical canons of constructivism. But in the decorative design of the station hall and lobby, visible features of what will be considered classics of the era in two decades are already visible. This is especially noticeable in the example of the central colonnade.
Faceted columns, faced with red granite, create a striking architectural image. It refers the viewer to the toponymy of the ancient Moscow region - Krasnoe Selo, which gave the name of the Krasnoselskaya metro station.
Exit to the city
Leaving the carriage at the Krasnoselskaya metro station, we will be able to get to Verkhnyaya Krasnoselskaya and Krasnoprudnaya streets through the ground lobby. It was once a historic site, known since the early fifteenth century as And today it is a vibrant Moscow area with a wide variety of cultural, scientific, commercial and service structures. Many administrative facilities are located here.
Not far from the metro lobby - - buses 40 and 122, trolleybuses 14 and 41 and trams 7, 13, 37, 45 and 50. These are the numbers of buses, trolleybuses and trams that should be borne in mind by everyone who is interested in the answer to the question of how to get to the Krasnoselskaya metro station.
Perspectives
For quite a long time, it was believed that the Krasnoselskaya metro station has the prospect of further development. She was supposed to be a transfer hub. The plans for the construction of the line assumed that it was in this place that he would cross the Sokolnicheskaya line. However, the plans have changed, and today the final decision has been made that the crossing will take place in the area of the Sokolniki station. It is she who is destined to become an interchange. And everything will be the same with the Krasnoselskaya metro station. It will remain unchanged, familiar to all Muscovites since 1935.
The Krasnoselskaya metro station is located in the Krasnoselsky district of Moscow between the Komsomolskaya and Sokolniki stations of the Sokolnicheskaya line of the Moscow metro.
Station history
The station began its work as part of the first section of the Moscow metro "Sokolniki" - "Park Kultury" on May 15, 1935.
History of the name
In the project, the station was called "Gavrikova Street", but after that it was named after the Krasnoe Selo area, the first mention of which dates back to 1423. The name of the area comes from the word "red", that is, beautiful. Krasnoe Selo meant a beautiful village.
Station description
The track walls of the station are faced with glazed ceramic tiles: yellow at the top, red at the bottom. At first, the floor of the station was covered with asphalt, then with tiles, which were eventually replaced by white marble. The faceted columns of the station are trimmed with yellow-brown marbled limestone of Crimean origin "biyuk-yankoy".
Specifications
Krasnoselskaya is a two-span, shallow column station located at a depth of 8 meters. The station was built according to a special project using monolithic concrete. The authors of the project are V. A. Ershov and B. S. Vasilevsky. The station has only one row of columns located in the center of the platform. Unlike other stations in the first section, the Krasnoselskaya platform is slightly narrower. The fact is that initially the station was not designed for a large passenger traffic. The first lamps of the station had the shape of a semicircle and were located in the caissons of the side halls. Later they were replaced by ball-shaped chandeliers. During the renovation, the round lights above the platform were replaced with fluorescent lamps.
Lobbies and transfers
The station has one two-level lobby, in the lower hall of which there are ticket offices, and the upper level has access to Verkhnyaya Krasnoselskaya and Krasnoprudnaya streets. Another exit was planned in the project, which was supposed to take passengers to Gavrikov Street, but due to too little passenger traffic it was never opened. There are no crossings to other stations of the Krasnoselskaya metro station, although by 2015 it is planned to create transfers to the Third Interchange Circuit.
Ground infrastructure
Everything that interests the consumer can be easily found near the station. There are two shopping centers and a wide variety of shops. Cafes, restaurants and several hotels are located within a few hundred meters from the metro. For those who are interested in museums, it will not be difficult to find a couple near the station, and fans of sports, and especially swimming, can visit the local pool.
Useful facts
Opening hours of the ground lobby: 5:35 am - 1:00 am.
Metro "Krasnoselskaya" is one of the few stations of the Moscow metro, the ground lobby of which is decorated with the inscription "METRO".
Something I completely abandoned filming the subway, making up for lost time. I took off three stations today. Let's start with Krasnoselskaya.
Krasnoselskaya station of the Sokolnicheskaya line of the Moscow metro. Located between Sokolniki and Komsomolskaya stations. It is located in the Krasnoselsky District of the Central Administrative District of Moscow.
There is a ground lobby with access to Krasnoprudnaya and Verkhnyaya Krasnoselskaya streets. The project provided for a second exit - to Gavrikov Street, however, due to low passenger traffic, it was never opened.
The lobby was of course ruined. There was no trace of the glazing and side entrances.
On the wall opposite the entrance there is a smalt mosaic with a Red Army soldier in Budennovka, drumming up soldiers to attack (artist Y.D. Romak).
The Krasnoselskaya station was opened on May 15, 1935 as part of the first launch section of the Moscow metro - Sokolniki - Park Kultury with a branch Okhotny Ryad - Smolenskaya named after the former Krasnoe Selo area.
The design of the station is a two-span shallow column (the depth of the station is 8 meters). Built according to a special project from monolithic concrete. The station has one row of columns located in the center of the platform. The Krasnoselskaya platform is narrower than the platforms of many stations of the first stage; the station was not originally supposed to have a large passenger traffic.
The track walls are finished with yellow at the top and red glazed ceramic tiles at the bottom, while, more recently (2012), pieces of the track wall, passing into the tunnels, have been finished with white siding.
The floor is paved with white marble (originally, the floor had an asphalt surface, later replaced by a tile; the latter, as a result of recent repairs, gave way to a marble covering, the remains of ceramic tiles that were present in the passages and on bridges disappeared on the eve of the anniversary of the Moscow Metro in 2005).
Faceted columns are faced with Crimean marble-like limestone "biyuk-yankoy" of yellow-brown tones.
At the opening of the station, semicircular lamps were installed in caissons above the side halls, which were subsequently replaced by ball chandeliers.
After the renovation, the round incandescent lamps located above the platforms were replaced with fluorescent lamps between the columns.
On May 15, 2006, a memorial plaque was unveiled in the station lobby in honor of one of the first builders of the Moscow Metro - Hero of Socialist Labor, Honored Builder of the RSFSR Tatyana Viktorovna Fedorova.
Carefully, the doors are closing, the next station is Sokolniki!
