In March 2017, a new metro station was opened - Minskaya. It is located on the Kalininsk-Solntsevo line, on which the transition from Arbatskaya-Pokrovskaya is carried out on the Victory Park.

In 2013, the media reported on the decision to open a technical station on the Victory Park area - Lomonosov Prospekt. But the plans metrostroevtsev soon changed. It was decided to begin construction of a full-fledged station. In 2013, conducted engineering and geological work. The pit was discovered in the summer of 2014, but the construction process was suspended for unknown reasons. The work was resumed in 2015.

Architectural features

The metro station "Minskaya" refers to small stations. The interior is designed in high-tech style. In the decoration of the pavilion, such materials as metal-ceramic panels, granite, aluminum, stainless steel are used. The main feature of the metro station "Minskaya" is the decoration of the columns. If you are at the end of the pavilion, you can see that the images on them are the details of a single picture. The design theme is military. This is due to the fact that the metro station "Minskaya" is located near the museum. About it will be briefly described below.

The metro station "Minskaya" is located on the same street. Nearby there are Victory Park, Matveyevsky Forest, Memorial Mosque. Metro station "Minskaya" a few years ago could be opened and on another line. The matter is that initially, between the Kuntsevskaya and Victory Park, two stations were planned to be built. Today, as you know, there is only one - "Slavyansky Boulevard" on this site . The second was to be the "Minskaya". Plans of mayors and metro-builders change quite often. Thus, the construction of the "Minsk" on the Arbat-Pokrovskaya line was canceled.

Victory Park

This is one of the main Moscow venues for holding mass events. The history of Victory Park (or rather the Poklonnaya Hill, on which the memorial complex is built) begins in the fourteenth century. The first mentions date back to 1368. Here once there were important historical events. So, in 1812 Napoleon himself waited on the Poklonnaya Hill of Moscow noblemen "with keys from the Kremlin."

After the end of the Great Patriotic War, they decided to erect a monument to the memory of the deceased soldiers. They planted a park, planted trees. But the construction of the memorial complex began only in 1985.

Matveevsky Park

The territory of this forest is limited to one side by the street, where today the metro station "Minskaya" is located. Moscow is rich not only with historical monuments, but also with natural areas protected by the state. For example, the Setun River valley. This is the largest nature protection zone, which includes the Matveyevsky forest. In 1991, this object was declared a natural monument. Today in the territory of Matveyevsky forest there are several health and medical organizations.

Memorial mosque

This is another attraction, located near the metro station "Minskaya". The memorial mosque was erected in memory of the Muslim soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War. The construction of this facility began in the late nineties, but was accompanied by opposition from the public. Yet the mosque was built. In the role of initiators of the project was the government of Moscow, the administration of Muslims of Russia, as well as the famous metropolitan philanthropist Faiz Gilmanov.

Museum of the Great Patriotic War

The metro station "Minskaya" is open not far from the memorial complexes dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. This explains its artistic design. The main object of Victory Park is the museum of the Second World War. Within the walls of this institution, there are regularly held interesting thematic exhibitions. At least once every Russian visitor comes to the museum, who came to the capital and is interested in the history of his country.
