Belorusskaya (Circle Line). Belorusskaya metro station (circular)

After passion, you need to relax a little and look beautiful photos from the metro. And also study the drawings. The time is now 3:20. I need to finish this text and go to bed. Otherwise, in the morning I’ll go to a new shoot. There will be such a shoot! m... :) All the details.

In the meantime, the Belorusskaya station of the Circle Line, which was opened on January 30, 1952 as part of the second launch section Kurskaya - Belorusskaya.

1. The design of the station is a deep pylon (depth - 42.5 meters) with three vaults. The authors of the project are I. G. Taranov, Z. F. Abramova, A. A. Marova and Y. V. Tatarzhinskaya. The diameter of the central hall is 9.5 meters. In 1951, I. G. Taranov, N. A. Bykova and G. I. Opryshko received the Stalin Prize for their work on the project.

2. Transfer to the station "" of the Zamoskvoretskaya line.

3. The station has two lobbies - above ground and underground. The first (western, ground) lobby opened in 1952 (architects: N. A. Bykova, A. A. Marova, I. G. Taranov, Z. F. Abramova, Ya. V. Tatarzhinskaya, artist G. I. Opryshko , sculptor S. M. Orlov, S. M. Rabinovich, I. A. Slonim), the second (eastern, underground) - in 1997. The photo shows just the new exit to the city. Once upon a time, the sculptural group “Soviet Belarus” (author - M. G. Manizer) was located here, dismantled during the construction of a new exit.

4. At the opening, there was asphalt on the platform, and in the central hall there was a beautiful floor made of multi-colored (gray, white and red) ceramic tiles, made like traditional Belarusian embroidery. During the renovation in 1994, the entire floor was replaced with polished granite, with a significant simplification of the original pattern.

5. Exit to the city.

6. Ground vestibule.

7. The hexagonal domed escalator hall is complicated by six arches: for the entrance, exit, escalator tunnel and three decorative ones. Above the arches are huge vaulted windows with metal bars.

8. New lobby, opened in 1997.

9. The wall between the exit doors and the entrance doors is decorated with a majolica panel by the Portuguese artist Graça Morais. This panel is a gift from the Lisbon City Hall to the Moscow Metro to commemorate the 850th anniversary of the capital.

10. On February 5, 2001 at 18:45 Moscow time, an explosion occurred at the station. The bomb was planted under a marble bench located on the platform. Thanks to heavy weight bench, which softened the blow, the consequences of the explosion were not very great.

11. From May to December 2010, the transfer was closed for reconstruction. The escalator slope leading to the station has been completely reconstructed. The escalator foundation was dismantled and rebuilt, and modernized E25T escalators with stainless steel balustrades and improved technical characteristics. At the same time, glass walls appeared on the transition bridges.

12. The passage was also completely reconstructed: the granite floor covering was replaced, the marble cladding of the walls was updated, the famous monumental sculptural group “Belarusian Partisans” was carefully restored, the Florentine mosaic on the themes of Belarusian folk ornament in the design of the arches was restored. At the same time, the historical architectural appearance of the crossing was completely preserved.

13. In the design of the transition arches, Florentine mosaics on the themes of the Belarusian national ornament were used. The architect of the Belorusskaya station, N.A. Bykova, noted that although the transition was poorly successful, the arches leading to the Circle Line turned out to be beautiful. The artist G. I. Opryshko worked on their design together with the architect I. G. Taranov.

14. The theme of the station’s decoration is the economy and culture of Belarus. The decoration of the ceiling is a stucco ornament, which consists of relief, convex and depressed, geometric shapes: squares, polygons, stripes with decorative reliefs inside - wreaths and ears of corn. It was made in an unusual way: the design was imprinted on an asbestos-cement umbrella that protects the station from water that could seep through the seams of the tubing, and decorative porcelain inserts were attached to it at the factory.

15. Along the axis of the vault of the central hall there are 12 mosaic panels depicting the life of the Belarusian people (made using the Florentine mosaic technique according to sketches by the artist G. I. Opryshko by masters S. Volkov and I. Morozov). One of the panels depicted working women embroidering a portrait of Stalin; During the time of Khrushchev, the portrait of Stalin was removed from the panel, and in its place the Order of the Red Banner of Labor appeared.

16. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful metro stations.

17. Suddenly. For the first time I saw that the SM-2 snow removal machine was being driven in front of passengers.

18. And now the theory!

19. These are scans from the book “Tunnels and Subways” by Transport Publishing House.

20. The book was published in 1975 and the article about pylon stations was adapted to the modern style. But in general, the pylon stations of the Circle Line looked about the same.

23. A typical pylon station, but of a later design.

24. And now scans from the book “Moscow Metro”, published in 1952.

25. Asphalt floor on the platform.

27. Central hall with original floor.

28. And a panorama of the station.

St.m. Belarusian ( Circle line July 5th, 2015

Belorusskaya metro station on the Circle Line is a busy interchange hub. In addition to the transfer to the Zamoskvoretskaya line, the main passenger flow through it is directed to the Belorussky railway station. The design of the station is largely related to the location of the station. The theme of the design is the good life in Soviet Belarus. The station is very interesting, we'll see...

Photo of the pavilion. What's so special about it? Firstly, there is still the old name of the metro named after. Kaganovich, and secondly, look at how cool the lamps are in front of the pylons!

In general, the square in front of the Belorussky railway station has lost a lot of its attractiveness today.

Excellent photo of the pavilion from a bird's eye view.

Over time, the lamps disappeared.

But the station hall is simply gorgeous. The mosaic on the floor in the form of a national Belarusian pattern adds special chic. It just couldn't be cooler.

Before the opening of the eastern vestibule in 1997, the sculptural composition “Soviet Belarus” stood at the blind end of the station. They say that they even wanted to preserve it and raise it to the surface, but due to the complexity of this process, they sawed it into pieces and no longer began to collect it. They also say that it was the President of Belarus Lukashenko who allegedly fussed over the sculpture and allegedly asked to give the sculpture to Belarus. But in the end it was lost. Very, very sorry!

1. The station has two lobbies. One ground-based western one, combined with a pavilion, is open along with the station, and the second lobby is underground, from which you can exit towards Lesnaya Street. Glazed pavilions of a rather laconic appearance were built above the staircases.

2. A special feature of the double staircase is that the second exit turns ninety degrees due to the nature of the building in this place. The lobby with an exit was opened in 1997, in the year of the 850th anniversary of Moscow.

3. In the end wall of the lobby there is a majolica panel donated by the City Hall of Lisbon. By the way, this design with majolica, or as the Portuguese call it azulejos, is a typical Portuguese feature. In the Lisbon metro, many stations are decorated with precisely similar painted tiles. The plot is friendship between peoples of all nationalities and colors.

4. About that. in honor of which the panel appeared, there is a corresponding plaque. By the way, this is not the only majolica panel that appeared for the 850th anniversary of Moscow. There is also a very interesting panel on the metro station. "", which also acquired another lobby in 1997. By the way, the exit pavilions from the underground lobby there are very similar to those installed here at Belorusskaya. Coincidence? Don't think!!! These are the first signs of unification of the pavilions. I immediately remember “Alma-Ata” and “Pyatnitskoye Shosse” or “Lermontovsky Prospekt” and “Zhulebino”

5. In addition to the main panel, there are also tiled drawings on the walls. Notice the blue stripe of tiles. Tiles of uneven color - this indicates that they are real hand-made, handmade. Apart from the panels, the lobby is unremarkable; by the way, there are still old validators here.

6. We go down the escalator and there is another small hall with a hermetic seal and in the distance you can see the stairs to the platform.

7. But the ground lobby is, as befits a station located on the Circle Line, a monumental and pathetic building. It is itself a work of architectural art. At the top, between the groups of working men and women, it is clear that Kaganovich was replaced by Lenin.

8. Above the entrance is a cool gilded metal panel on an agricultural theme. In the center is the letter "M" Another spelling. Each station has its own.

9. I wonder what was there between the entrance groups in the middle arch?

10.

11. The cash register hall is very interesting, it is oval in shape. There are cash register windows along the long side.

12. This is the ceiling.

13. Hermetic seal in front of the entrance to the escalator hall. Even the panels covering the shutter mechanism are gold plated. Not bad.

14. The hall is round in shape with a traditional dome. The validators are old, and for some reason the one on the left is new.

15. And here, too, is tantamaresca. Here you can take a photo as an escalator attendant.

16. The escalator hall is symmetrical. On one side in the arches behind wooden doors booths with telephones. A required attribute before, but now it has completely lost its meaning.

17. On the opposite side is the exit.

18. Stunningly beautiful wooden doors.

19. A few details.

20.

21. We go down the escalator, there is another shutter at the station.

22. In the center of the hall there is a transition to the Zamoskvoretskaya line.

23. It is unclear why the openings on the transition bridge were glazed. Are they really afraid that someone will fall there? What were such precedents? It looks, to be honest, ugly. If we do it, it should probably be done with respect for the historical interiors.

24. In the transition, they also did not skimp on finishing.

25. Small antechamber. There is a nice ceiling decoration, and the arches are framed with Florentine mosaic patterns.

26. In the arches that lead to the Ring Road there are also decorative panels that echo the panels in front of the entrance to the ground pavilion. Beauty.

27. There is an opinion that the architect N.A. Bykova, who participated in the development of both Belorusskaya projects, embodied the ideas in the Belorusskaya Circle Line project that could not be implemented in the Zamoskvoretskaya Line station. Therefore, there is the same ceiling with stylized coffers, but much more decorative.

28. Moreover, there is a similar ceiling in the side halls. The track wall is finished with tiles with inserted ceramic panels with floral patterns, which makes the wall not seem boring.

29. Massive pylons, and the station is deep, in the lower part are lined with light stone. And even the side part of the pylons is decorated with stucco. There are also very beautiful benches with marble bases. benches are located at the pylons on both sides.

30. The floor was originally made of small tiles and repeated the traditional Belarusian pattern. After the floor covering was changed, the pattern was simplified, but the floor still looks elegant.

31. And what kind of lamps are there? Simply fantastic. Compared to the rather nondescript lamps of the “Belorusskaya” Zamoskvoretskaya line, this is simply palace chic.

32. The interior is simply luxurious, there’s no other way to put it. "Royal mansions"

33. The main decoration of the station is mosaic panels made in the style of Florentine mosaics. Subjects - everyday life Belarusian people. Naturally life is easy cheerful, as it should be to the Soviet people. And here it was not without debunking the cult of Stalin. Initially, the Girls on this panel wove the silhouette of Stalin, and now the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

34. Naturally, there was also the theme of war. Here the girls meet the victorious warriors.

35. The station is very beautiful. One of the most beautiful on the Ring.

36. I wanted to embrace the immensity with the help of fisheye.

37. Another view in the other direction.

38. Let's all move on...

P.S.

BC "White Square" - this place is incredibly attractive to me. Here it is as if you find yourself abroad for a few minutes. The spirit of the West really lives here. In the White Square Business Center, office blocks of various sizes are rented by such well-known companies as: PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte & Touche, McKinsey, Microsoft, Swedbank.



  • Address: st. Lesnaya, 5SS
  • How to get there:

    1)
    By metro:
    m. "Belorusskaya" Circle line, exit to Tverskoye-Yamskiye streets. To exit the metro onto the street, take the steps to the right. Once on the street, you will see the buildings of the Business Center in front of you.

    2) By car:
    - when driving along 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street towards the region, you must turn right onto Lesnaya Street. The White Square business center will be on the left as you move.
    - when driving along Leningradsky Prospekt to the center, having crossed the bridge over the Belorusskaya Railway, you need to turn right onto Tverskaya Zastava Square, then make a left turn, as if going around the square. At the traffic light (intersection with 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street), keep to the left lane and move towards Butyrsky Val. 400 m after the intersection, on your right, immediately after the church, the White Square Business Center will be located.
    - you can park your car either on Lesnaya Street or on Butyrsky Val Street.

Church on Belorusskaya.

The triumphal gate stood for a little over a hundred years. But in 1936, the area near the Belorussky Station was completely redesigned and the arch was dismantled. According to the plan for the reconstruction of the square, it was assumed that it would be reassembled there, but for some reason the plan was not implemented in this part. In disassembled (and, naturally, stolen) form, it lay somewhere in warehouses for 30 years. Only in 1966–1968. it was finally decided to restore it, but in a different place, on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, next to the Panorama Museum of the Battle of Borodino. We had to work hard: at the Mytishchi plant, 12 columns were cast from the only surviving column. The Belorussky Station itself is also interesting from an architectural point of view. Its first building was built in 1871. Soviet era it bore the name “gateway to Europe”. From here trains went to Berlin and Paris.

In the coming years, the large-scale area will undergo changes again. It is expected that there will be a small park area and an impressive underground shopping complex. If you leave the metro station following the signs to Lesnaya Street, you will see a very beautiful austere Old Believer Church beginning of the twentieth century. With a picturesque ornament unusual for Moscow churches.

Story

The plan for the construction of a metro line, located along modern Tverskaya Street and Leningradsky Prospekt, appeared in the year. It was planned to build a station near the Belorussky railway station. In the master plan for the reconstruction of Moscow, the location of the future Belorusskaya metro station was finally approved. In the original project, the station was called Belorussky Station.

The construction of the Belorusskaya metro station was carried out using a closed method. In order to integrate the station lobby into the Belorussky Station building, the architects had to replace the load-bearing wall with a colonnade. It was assumed that Belorusskaya would have a second exit to the residential area (this project was not implemented). The station was opened on September 11 of the year as part of the section “Sokol” - “Sverdlov Square” (now “Teatralnaya”) of the second stage of construction, after the commissioning of which there were 22 stations in the Moscow metro.

Architecture and decoration

Lobby

The Belorusskaya metro station has one above-ground vestibule, built into the north-eastern wing of the Belorussky railway station. The outside of the lobby is lined with black granite. The lobby area is divided into two halls by a colonnade and turnstiles. The paired columns are covered with white marble. The cladding was carried out to give entasis to the fust columns.

The first hall contains ticket offices and two entrances. The main entrance to the station is located from Tverskaya Zastava Square. The station also has a second entrance from Leningradsky Prospekt - a small bridge connects the Tverskoy overpass with the doors on the second floor of the station building, from where a staircase leads to the ticket office. The walls of the ticket hall are lined with gray Ufaley marble.

In the second hall there is an escalator and access to Tverskaya Zastava Square. The walls of the escalator hall are lined with dark pink Birobidzhan marble with purple veins. There is a commemorative inscription in the wall indicating the opening date of the station.

The design of the connection between the escalator and the lobby is original to pre-war stations. For the escalator, an elliptical hole was made in the floor of the station, surrounded by a small barrier. Thanks to this, when ascending the escalator, passengers have a wide view of the lobby. Subsequently, this technique became widespread in the Moscow metro. The three-belt escalator model ET-3M has a height of 30.6 meters. It connects the lobby to the northern end of the station.

Station halls

Three different types of marble were used in the cladding of the station hall. By varying the shades of marble, the architects tried to reduce the feeling of the “subway” and ensure that passengers felt like they were in an underground palace. The naves of the station are separated from each other, and the central hall acquires the main volumetric and spatial significance. To visually lighten the heavy structure of the station, niches were installed in the pylons on the side of the central hall, each of which had a lamp mounted on a bronze floor lamp.

The semi-oval niches of the central hall are lined with onyx of various tones. If in the lower part of the niches the onyx slabs have a dark tone and a sharp vein pattern, then the upper rows of tiles have a lighter and calmer pattern. Each vertical row of cladding is framed with a bronze bead to emphasize the texture of onyx.

Initially, the floor of the central hall was covered with richly patterned marble mosaics. Nowadays the floor of the station is laid out in a checkerboard pattern with slabs of gray granite and black diabase.

The track walls, originally decorated with blue glazed tiles, are now covered with white marble, with black marble in the lower part. The station is illuminated by pendant chandeliers in the central and side halls, as well as bronze floor lamps in the niches of the pylons of the central hall.

At the southern end of the central hall, on a pedestal made of black diabase, there is a bust of V. I. Lenin made of dark gray granite.

Architects of the station and lobby N. N. Andrikanis, N. A. Bykova. The construction of the station was carried out by Mine 79-80 (SMU-8) of Mosmetrostroy (head F. Kuzmin). The entrance hall of the Belorusskaya metro station and its ground vestibule are identified objects cultural heritage city ​​of Moscow.

Transfer to the Circle Line

From the center of the hall you can transfer to the Belorusskaya station on the Circle Line (the transition opened in 1952). The passage is equipped with a three-belt escalator type ET25 with stainless steel balustrades. At the end of the upper entrance hall of the passage there is a monumental sculptural group “Belarusian Partisans”. Eight original floor lamps, lined with marble and decorated with stone mosaics, are also installed there. The floor of the passage is covered with red and black granite, the walls are lined with marble.

Florentine mosaics based on the themes of the Belarusian national ornament were used in the design of the transition arches. The architect of the Belorusskaya station, N.A. Bykova, noted that although the transition was poorly successful, the arches leading to the Circle Line turned out to be beautiful. The artist G. I. Opryshko worked on their design together with the architect I. G. Taranov.

Path development

Behind the station there are reversible sidings used for overnight lay-by and train maintenance. The stretch between the Belorusskaya and Dynamo stations is used to test trains, since it is direct and is allowed maximum speed 100 km/h.

Location

The Belorusskaya metro station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line is located between the Dynamo and Mayakovskaya stations. The ground lobby, built into the building of the Belorussky railway station, has access to Tverskaya Zastava Square (next to the Tversky overpass). Nearby are Gruzinsky Val and 2nd Brestskaya streets. Lobby address: Tverskaya Zastava Square, building 7. The distance from the station to the center of Moscow is 3.25 kilometers.

Rail transport

Belorussky Station serves long-distance trains in western, southwestern and northern directions. From the Belorussky station begins the Smolensk direction of the Moscow Railway, which connects Moscow with western regions Russia, as well as

"Belorusskaya" is a station on the Circle Line of the Moscow Metro. Located under Tverskaya Zastava Square between the Krasnopresnenskaya and Novoslobodskaya stations. Located in the Tverskoy district of the Central Administrative District of Moscow. The station was opened on January 30, 1952 as part of the Kurskaya - Belorusskaya section. Named after the Belorussky railway station, near which it is located. It has a transition to the Belorusskaya station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line.

The first metro station near the Belorussky railway station was the Belorusskaya station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line, opened in 1938 as part of the second stage of the metro. The original plans for 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. According to the 1938 project, it was planned to build the line much further from the center than was subsequently built. The planned stations were “Usachevskaya”, “Kaluzhskaya Zastava”, “Serpukhovskaya Zastava”, “Stalin Plant”, “Ostapovo”, “Sickle and Hammer Plant”, “Lefortovo”, “Spartakovskaya”, “Krasnoselskaya”, “Rzhevsky Station”, “Savelovsky Station”, “Dynamo”, “Krasnopresnenskaya Zastava”, “Kyiv”. In 1941, the Circle Line project was changed. Now they planned to build it closer to the center. In 1943, a decision was made on the extraordinary construction of the Circle Line along the current route in order to relieve congestion at the Okhotny Ryad - Sverdlov Square - Revolution Square interchange. The Circle Line became the fourth phase 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 merged with the second section) and “Belorusskaya” - “ Central Park of Culture and Leisure." It was planned to build two lobbies at Belorusskaya, but only one was built. 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. The transition to the Zamoskvoretskaya line opened immediately after the opening of the station. In 1994, the station was reconstructed, during which the beautiful mosaic floor was replaced with granite with a simplified design. Until 1997, the station had one vestibule (west). The eastern lobby was opened on August 25, 1997 on Lesnaya Street. Between May 29 and December 10, 2010, the transition to the Circle Line was closed. Repair work and replacement of escalators were carried out. Commemorative tickets were issued for the opening of the crossing.
