Metro Okhotny Ryad: Moscow

Metro Okhotny Ryad is part of the Sokolnicheskaya line, which belongs to the metropolitan of the capital. Nearby are the "Lenin Library" and the station "Lubyanka". It is part of the Tver region. From here you can easily get to Red Square.

How did the name

"Okhotny Ryad" is a metro station that appeared in the May of 1935. It was part of the first launch site belonging to the capital transport complex. Organized a branch from this place to the "Smolenskaya". There was a movement on the forklift type until 1938.

Metro "Okhotny Ryad" had a balance of moving vehicles 1: 1 when moving to the "Library. Lenin "and" Comintern ", which was later renamed the" Alexander Garden. " Removing from the Arbat, it is possible to get into a separate line with the tunnel, which is used in business affairs. The ability to move quickly in such a large city is due to the metro Moscow. "Okhotny Ryad" underwent a number of changes when the Manege Square was built in the mid-1990s. The tunnel fell asleep on ½. One way was dismantled, and the second was left in safety. Prior to this, in 1944, the transition to the station "Teatralnaya" was opened. Previously, we had to use a large lobby.

In the course of 1959, under the metro Okhotny Ryad, the underground was laid, the first one in the metropolitan transport network. In 1974, a second similar structure appeared, leading to the station "Teatralnaya". Work is underway in each transition in a unilateral direction.

The old days

Okhotny Ryad is a metro station, which received its name from the same street. Previously, there was also an area with the same name. During the 18-19 centuries there were shops here, where hunters could share their catch. It was possible to acquire bird meat and excellent game.

During the nineteenth century, only trade was involved here, leaving the goods in warehouses. There was an opportunity to live in a hotel or visit a tavern establishment. When the year 1956 came, the area that was here was re-planned into the street, which in the period from 1961 to 1990 was a segment of the Marx Ave.

"Okhotny Ryad" is the district where in 1955 the station station was named after Kaganovich. This is due to the fact that previously the Moscow metro had a name associated with the surname of this Soviet politician. He supervised the process of building a transport complex. Then a tribute of respect was given to Lenin, calling his whole network his name, leaving only one station to Kaganovich.

In 1957, he was removed from the leading state post, and now he did not enjoy such honor and respect. Another time there were changes - the station became "Prospekt im. Marx ". There were three great streets that were important. When the processes of restructuring took place in 1990, the station acquired its initial name - the 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 change to the "Theater". It is necessary to proceed to the escalator, which is in the center. You can go through the eastern lobby, where there is also an exit. There is a node for the transplant, from which you can get to the "Revolution Square". However, you will find a direct transition. The stations are very far away.

The underground part in the west is part of the Manezhnaya Square. There is a transition to it. You can go through the shopping center. Chechulin created the project of this building, the house on the surface was reconstructed. He was torn during the competition and renamed. The project was designed in such a way that there were sculptures from the gypsum outside , but eventually they were lost. They were created by M. Manizer, the teacher from the circus school A. Shirai was used as a model for one sculpture.

Curious details

When the film "Moscow does not believe in tears" was filmed, the authors decided to focus on the filming time in 1958. During the episode of the trip in the car photographed the track wall with the name of the station. When the film was released in 1979, the point itself changed its name to "Prospekt Marx". So the effect of transferring the viewer to the past for 20 years was created. The most interesting thing is that the shooting itself took place at Novoslobodskaya.

Technical features

The station has a pylon structure and three arches, laid deep. In the individual mode, a project was created, relying on the mining method. Under the cover, monolithic concrete was taken. To begin with, the walls were erected, and then the vaults, relying on the German version of the design. When the point was being built, it was the largest so deep-seated station. In accordance with the initial plan did not want to build a hall in the center, but then there were fundamental changes.

The style in which the place is decorated

Here you can see the construction that its appearance is reminiscent of columns with many faces, the lining consists of gray and white marble. Before that, it was changed by removing the yellow ceramic tile. The name of the item was written with metal color symbols. The background is completely black. Of gray granite made the floor. On the territory of the hall and near the platforms for landing there are light fixtures. Previously, there were floor lamps, similar to those that are on the "Novokuznetsk".

The convenience of the point is that the Red Square is easily accessible from here. Metro "Okhotny Ryad" is decorated in the east with a picture of Marx from the mosaic that was created by E. Reichsaum.

If you take the statistics for March 2002, the passenger flow at the entrance was 97000 people, and at the exit - 95000 people. The first people take the transport station at 5:30 in the morning, the last at 1:00 in the morning.

Thanks to this place, the needs of many people in transport are met. Work is conducted in a coherent and proper manner.
