"Komsomolskaya" - station of the Moscow Metro Circle Line


Komsomolskaya is a station on the Moscow Metro's Koltsevaya Line. It is located under Komsomolskaya Square between Prospekt Mira and Kurskaya stations.
The first metro station near Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky and Kazansky railway stations was the Komsomolskaya station of the Kirovsko-Frunzenskaya line, opened in 1935 as part of the first stage of the metro. In 1943, a decision was made to urgently build the Koltsevaya Line along the current route in order to unload the interchange hub "Okhotny Ryad" - "Sverdlov Square" - "Revolution Square" >>>

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 line "Okhotny Ryad" - "Smolenskaya". Since January 30, 1952, it has been connected by a transfer to the station of the same name on the Circle Line. It was named after Komsomolskaya Square, which it overlooks. The square was named in 1933 in connection with the 15th anniversary of the Komsomol. Previously, the square was called Kalanchevskaya - according to the tsar's traveling palace with a high tower - a tower that existed here in the 17th century. >>>

Story

The first metro station near Leningradsky and railway stations was the Komsomolskaya station of the Kirovsko-Frunzenskaya (Sokolnicheskaya) line, opened in 1935 as part of the first stage of the metro.

The original plans of the Moscow Metro did not include the Circle Line. 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 the Garden Ring with 17 stations.

USSR Post, S. Pomansky, CC BY-SA 3.0

According to the 1938 project, it was planned to build a line much further from the center than was built later. Planned stations were Usachyovskaya, Kaluzhskaya Zastava, Serpukhovskaya Zastava, Stalin Plant, Ostapovo, Hammer and Sickle Plant, Lefortovo, Spartakovskaya, Krasnoselskaya, Rzhevsky Station, Savelovsky Station, Dynamo, Krasnopresnenskaya Zastava, Kyiv.

In 1941, the design of the Circle Line was changed. Now it was planned to be built closer to the center. In 1943, a decision was made to urgently build the Koltsevaya Line along the current route in order to unload the interchange hub "Okhotny Ryad" - "Sverdlov Square" - "Revolution Square".

The circle line became the fourth stage of construction. In 1947, it was planned to commission the line in four sections: "Central Park of Culture and Leisure" - "Kurskaya", "Kurskaya" - "Komsomolskaya", "Komsomolskaya" - "Belorusskaya" (then it was merged with the second section) and "Belorusskaya" - " Central Park of Culture and Leisure.

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. It was originally planned to build three vestibules of Komsomolskaya, but only one was built. The transition to the Sokolnicheskaya line was opened along with the station.

Architecture and decoration

Lobby

At the northern end of the station there is a staircase leading to a small domed anteroom. In the dome of the arch, decorated with golden smalt, there is a red five-pointed star with golden rays diverging in all directions. This mosaic decoration appeared no earlier than the 1960s. A massive multi-track chandelier is suspended in the center of the entrance hall.

A long and wide corridor leads from the entrance hall to the escalator tunnel. The escalator tunnel, in turn, leads to the ground vestibule, common to both stations of the hub. This vestibule has an octagonal volume under a large dome.

The dome is decorated with stucco and figured bas-reliefs of trumpeters (author G. I. Motovilov). There are two hanging chandeliers in the form of church chandeliers along the axis of the dome, and large floor lamps in all corners. The walls are lined with light beige marble.

The vestibule combines the top of two escalator tunnels of two stations, the entrance from Komsomolskaya Square, the exit to the square between Yaroslavsky and Leningradsky stations and the entrance from the underground lobby with corridors from both of these stations.

This entire architectural ensemble is located inside the street pavilion. It is a large two-story cross-shaped building with two six-column porticos from the side of Komsomolskaya Square and with access to the platforms of Leningradsky and Yaroslavsky railway stations from the opposite side.

From it you can also go to the Kalanchevskaya platform of the Kursk direction of the Moscow Railway. Since November 2007, the entrance through the front doors of the pavilion has been closed and is carried out through an underground passage under Komsomolskaya Square. The inner vault of the vestibule protrudes outside with a large gray dome. This dome is crowned with a tall spire with a five-pointed star. The star depicts a sickle and a hammer.

station halls

The design used a prefabricated cast-iron lining, a monolithic slab was used as a tray. The length of the landing hall is 190 meters, the width of the central nave is 11 m (instead of 8 m, typical for stations of this design), the height of the hall is 9 m (instead of the characteristic 5.5 m).

According to the last two indicators, this station is the largest of the columned stations of the Moscow metro. In 1952, together with P. D. Korin, the architect A. V. Shchusev was posthumously awarded the Stalin Prize of the second degree for 1951 for the architecture of the station.

Architecturally, the Komsomolskaya station is the apotheosis of the Stalinist Empire style, distinguished by grandiosity, pomposity, a combination of elements of classicism, Empire style and Moscow baroque. One of the authors of the project, A. Yu. Zabolotnaya, wrote that the station was conceived as one of the busiest transport hubs in the city and as a kind of gateway to Moscow. These "gates" were supposed to form the first impressions of Moscow.

There are 68 octagonal columns at the station (the step is 5.6 meters). The arcades, which include two rows of columns, are connected by graceful arches. They hold common entablature with cornices, stretching along the entire length of the station. The foundations of the vaults of the central and side halls rest on the cornices. The vault of the central hall is one and a half times higher than the side ones.

The triumph of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War is the leading theme of the architecture of the station's interiors. The grandeur of this patriotic theme is reflected in the grandiose scope of the spatial construction of the underground hall, in the richness of the decorative decoration, in the brightness of its color and lighting scheme. The ceiling of the station is decorated with eight mosaic panels of smalt and precious stones. They are a visualization of the speech of I. V. Stalin, delivered at the parade on November 7, 1941:

“The war you are waging is a war of liberation, a just war. Let the courageous image of our great ancestors - Alexander Nevsky, Dimitri Donskoy, Kuzma Minin, Dimitri Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov inspire you in this war! May the victorious banner of the great Lenin overshadow you!..”

I. V. Stalin

The vault is decorated with white stucco ornamentation. At the heels of the vault there was a row of gilded bas-relief cartouches on a crimson-red background, made according to the models of the sculptors S. V. Kazakov and A. M. Sergeev on the theme “Russian weapons”, later replaced by mosaics. At the same time, the dome of the entrance hall in front of the escalator corridor was also laid out with mosaics. This statement by Stalin was carved on a marble plaque installed at the entrance to the platform hall.


Zac allan, Public Domain

Six mosaics depict Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov, Soviet soldiers and officers near the walls of the Reichstag. Their author is the artist P. D. Korin. Two more panels depicting I.V. Stalin (“Victory Parade” and “Presenting the Guards Banner”) were replaced after Stalin’s personality cult was debunked in 1963. Prior to this, these panels were repeatedly "corrected" with the removal of disgraced leaders.

Initially, the panel “Presenting the Guards Banner” depicted Stalin handing over the banner to a soldier, and behind him - V. M. Molotov, L. P. Beria, L. M. Kaganovich. The panel "Victory Parade" depicted the same people on the podium of the Mausoleum, at the foot of which were abandoned fascist banners. New panels depict V. I. Lenin's speech to the Red Guards and the Motherland against the backdrop of the Kremlin's Spasskaya Tower. Korin himself remade the panel.

The yellow ceiling is also decorated with mosaic inserts and stucco. The hall is illuminated by massive multi-track chandeliers hanging between the panels; the platforms are illuminated by smaller chandeliers.

The columns are decorated with marble capitals and finished with light Uzbek marble "gazgan", just like the walls of the station. The floor is paved with raspberry-red Kuznechninsky (Kaarlakhtinsky) granite. The track platforms are finished with red Kapustinsky and pink-red Klyosovsky granite. A bust of V. I. Lenin is installed in the dead end of the hall.

Transition to the Sokolnicheskaya line

The transition starts in the middle of the hall. There are two pairs of escalators leading down to a spacious hall lit by a small chandelier and wall sconces. The passenger then enters the escalator hall through a long, curved corridor below the station.

On the wall is a Florentine mosaic based on sketches by P. D. Korin depicting the Order of Victory against the background of red banners and weapons, which are framed by a laurel wreath entwined with a St. George ribbon. A large four-lane escalator leads from the hall. At the top there is an underground circular columned hall with access to the southern end of the Komsomolskaya Sokolnicheskaya line. On the other side of the circular columned hall is the exit to the Kazansky railway station.

Station in culture

"Komsomolskaya" is mentioned in the book "Old Man Hottabych" by L.I. Lagin, published in 1955. In the 1938 edition, instead of the then non-existent "Komsomolskaya", the station "Kyiv railway station" is mentioned.

“They entered the halls of the third palace, which shone with such splendor that Volka gasped:
- Why, it's a spitting image of the subway! Well, right at the Komsomolskaya Koltsevaya station!”

The Komsomolskaya station is mentioned in Dmitry Glukhovsky's post-apocalyptic novel Metro 2033. According to the book, the station was part of the Commonwealth of Stations of the Circle Line, more commonly referred to as Hansa. The inhabitants of this station, like the rest of the Commonwealth, live off trade and the collection of duties from merchants.

Railway transport

From the northern vestibule - exit to the Leningrad and Yaroslavl stations. The Oktyabrskaya railway starts from the Leningradsky railway station, from Yaroslavsky - the Yaroslavl direction of the Moscow railway. Also nearby is the Kalanchevskaya station of the Kursk direction of the Moscow Railway.

Through the passages in the center of the hall - exit to the Kazan railway station. The Kazan direction of the Moscow railway begins from the Kazansky railway station.

Ground public transport

Komsomolskaya station has access to several public transport stops:

  • Stop "Komsomolskaya sq. - The Moskovsky store is located on Komsomolskaya Square. Trams number 7, 13, 37, 50 stop there.
  • Stop "Komsomolskaya sq. - The Moskovsky store is located on Komsomolskaya Square. Buses No. 40 and 122 and trolleybuses No. 14, 41 stop there.
  • The stop "Metro Komsomolskaya" is located on Komsomolskaya Square. Bus number A stops there.
  • Stop "Factory" Bolshevichka "- Komsomolskaya Square." located on Kalanchevskaya street. Trolleybuses No. 22 and 88 stop there.

The appearance of the Museum of the Decembrists is associated with a unique case: a ruined city estate on Staraya Basmannaya was saved by a potential heir. Although Russian history was not the most successful for the ancestors of Muravyov-Apostol, the Swiss businessman and Russian nobleman considers the estate to be his family nest. Christopher Muraviev-Apostol restored it with his own money and established a museum in it. For this unprecedented step, he received - the first in Moscow - the right to pay a symbolic price per year for renting premises: a ruble per square meter. The estate is a house in the style of Moscow classicism. Ground floor 298 sq. m with vaulted ceilings and wooden floors reproduces the interior of the XVIII century. There is a lecture hall here. A solid staircase leads to the second - front - floor, where there is an entrance hall, a pantry, an office, a bedroom, two living rooms, a ballroom and a spacious hall. It is here that exhibitions and other cultural events are held: exhibits of the Christie's auction house were shown here; this space has become one of the sites of the Photobiennale. There is no permanent exhibition in the museum yet. However, you can visit the estate during exhibitions, or by pre-registering for an excursion.

The Komsomolskaya station of the Circle Line is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful stations of the Moscow Metro. In addition, it is unique and constructive solution.

With some reservations, we can say that its project is a further development of the first columned stations of the Moscow Metro - Mayakovskaya and Paveletskaya Zamoskvoretskaya lines.

Before talking about Komsomolskaya, I want to briefly highlight the history of Moscow and St. Petersburg column stations.

Mayakovskaya, opened on September 11, 1938, became the first deep-laid column station in Moscow, in the USSR and in the world in general. It was very bold. In general, despite the excellent architectural design, it turned out to be very complex and time-consuming in construction.

Taking into account all the difficulties of building such a column station, the engineers developed a more economical project - the Paveletskaya Zamoskvoretskaya line. But alas, the war began, and its course made its own adjustments to the present appearance of the station. It was opened on November 20, 1943 in a very simplified form: without a central hall and only with a pylon part (in fact, a small distribution hall) near the exit to the city. The fact is that all the metal structures of the column-running complex remained in Dnepropetrovsk captured by the Germans.

And only after the war, as a result of the most complex reconstruction, which lasted almost 10 years without interrupting the movement of trains and passengers, it was converted from a two-hall into a column, which we see now. The first stage of the reconstruction was opened on February 21, 1953, and all the work was finally completed only by April 1959! And in memory of the original project, we were left with the old site near the exit to the station.

The next column station was the Kurskaya Koltsevaya line, opened on January 1, 1950. The project, standing alone, turned out to be very complex and laborious in construction, and after that such column stations were no longer built.

For the first stage of the Leningrad metro, two unique projects of a column station were developed. The first is based on the experience of the already built Mayakovskaya and Paveletskaya. Two stations were built along it: "Technological Institute" and "Baltic". According to the second project, the Kirovsky Zavod station was built. What is most interesting, this project, most likely, served as the basis for the development of the Moscow column station, and St. Petersburg eventually went their own way, developing their own type.

A common drawback of all these projects (except for the Kursk and Kirov Plant) is the presence of struts in one form or another in the arch of the middle hall. The need for its device is caused by the difference between the spacers of the middle and side tunnels with the existing size of their spans.

To solve this problem, a station design was developed with an increased span of the middle arch. Here, thanks to the accepted ratio of the spans of the middle and outer tunnels, it was possible to achieve a balancing of the spacers and abandon the upper spacers in the middle arch. According to this project, as you may have guessed, the Komsomolskaya station of the Circle Line was built.

This is where the history of unique column stations made according to individual projects ended. Painfully, they turned out to be expensive and labor-intensive in construction.

They returned to column stations almost 20 years later, when Kitay-gorod was designed and built. It was a breakthrough in the field of construction, and this project has successfully survived to this day (for example, Dostoevskaya and Trubnaya are improved stations of this type). But all this is beyond the scope of this story. Maybe someday I will tell the story of various constructive types of stations, but for now let's get back to Komsomolskaya-ring.

1. This is a deep column station built according to an individual project. The lining of the station is made of cast-iron tubing and consists of two open rings of track tunnels with an outer diameter of 9.5 m and an elevated middle arch of a circular shape with a diameter of 11.5 m. foundations for columns.

2. The width of the side platforms (from the edge of the platform to the axis of the column) is 2.8 m, and the span of the middle hall between the axes of the columns is 11 m. lining of the side tunnels at the level of the support tubings, metal struts made of I-beam No. 36 were installed.

3. The increase in the span of the middle hall and the elimination of the upper braces made it possible to significantly increase the volume and height of the middle hall, which had a positive effect on the quality of the architectural design of the station.

4. The steel structure of the station consists of a double-walled upper run, columns and shoes. The girders in the static relation are two-cantilever beams with a cantilever length equal to half the span, supported by box-section columns with a step of 4.5 m along the length of the station. The weight of one section of a metal structure 4.5 m long is 52.96 tons, and the total weight for the entire station is about 3,300 tons. In the photo you can see the mining process in the core of the middle hall. Given the volumes, an excavator was mounted at the station. You can also see the entire column-running complex in all its glory. And on the left, in the background, an undisassembled side tunnel is visible. In general, the construction process was no different from.

5. Some work in the middle room. In the side hall, the strut from above is clearly visible.

6. According to one of the legends, the original design of the station was with very thick columns after finishing. They say that the engineer almost attacked the architect with his fists, saying that I spent so much time developing the station to make the columns as thin as possible, and you hid all this in the cladding. As a result, the architect redid the project and the cladding is now pressed as close as possible to the column.

21. The size of the slope is amazing. If I'm not mistaken, the same diameter was used in the construction of the interchange between Prospekt Mira stations. Then they reduced the distance between the machines and were able to place 4 tapes in a tunnel with a diameter of 8.8 m.

25. The design of the station is dedicated to the theme of the struggle of the Russian people for independence. The ceiling of the station is decorated with eight mosaic panels of smalt and precious stones. Six of them depict Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov, Soviet soldiers and officers at the walls of the Reichstag. Their author is the artist P. D. Korin.

26. But the design of the station was censored after Stalin's personality cult was debunked. About it at home mosco white : “Here is the most entertaining story. Initially, the last two mosaic panels, "Presenting the Guards Banner" and "Victory Parade", made by the great artist Pavel Korin, looked like this: the first of them depicts Stalin passing the banner to a soldier (his closest associates stand behind the Generalissimo: Molotov, Beria, Kaganovich ), and on the second - the same persons from the party elite lined up on the podium of the Mausoleum, at the foot of which fascist banners were thrown. After Comrade Beria lost confidence, and Comrade Malenkov kicked him (a real rhyme of those times, a friend told me, whose grandfather once worked in the NKVD), glasses were unceremoniously removed from Korin's panels. Then came the turn of Molotov and other faithful falcons. In 1963, the time came for global changes: instead of the “Presenting the Guards Banner”, there appeared “Lenin's Speech to the Red Guards Going to the Front”, and the “Victory Parade” turned into the “Triumph of Victory”. Korin, who was instructed to prepare new sketches for the panel, made this composition such that it included as many fragments of the former Parade as possible. The entire Stalinist Politburo simply disappeared from the picture (the podium of the Mausoleum now turned out to be empty), and an allegorical figure appeared in the foreground: the Motherland with a palm branch of the world and a hammer and sickle.

Mosaic panels in separate photographs: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight.

“As you know, the mosaic compositions of Korin on Komsomolskaya are connected by a single concept - they are a literal visualization of Stalin's speech, delivered on November 7, 1941: “The war you are waging is a war of liberation, a just war. Let the courageous image of our great ancestors - Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Kuzma Minin, Dmitry Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov inspire you in this war! May the victorious banner of the great Lenin overshadow you! For those proletarians who do not stick to artistic metaphors, the generalissimo's speech was carved on a marble plaque that hung to the right of the stairs. Now only crookedly smeared holes remain from it.

27. In triangular shaped frames, resting on the base of the vault and rising a quarter of its arc, military attributes are depicted - banners and weapons (shields, helmets, swords, squeaks, muskets, broadswords). The authors of these images are S. M. Kazakov and A. M. Sergeev.

Two more ornaments: one and two.

28. In my opinion, the station is unlucky in that it is located on the square of three stations, although it was specially built for a large passenger flow. Now it has grown to 110 thousand people and all the beauty of the station is simply lost against this background.
