The emergence of the Museum of the Decembrists is associated with a unique case: a destroyed city estate on Staraya Basmannaya was saved by a potential heir. Although Russian history was not the most successful for Muravyov-Apostol’s ancestors, the Swiss businessman and Russian nobleman considers the estate his family nest. Christopher Muravyov-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 area of 298 sq. m with vaulted ceilings and plank floors reproduces the interior of the 18th century. There is a lecture hall here. A substantial 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 take place: exhibits from the Christie's auction house were shown here; this same space became 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 a tour.
Photos of Moscow metro stations unexpectedly aroused great interest on the blog. However, why is it unexpected... Not all of those who came across my blog on the Internet have been to Moscow. And the fame of the beauty of the Moscow metro spread throughout the world. I won’t take pictures of all the Moscow metro stations, but I will show a few more that I like.
Very beautiful, simply luxurious Komsomolskaya station on the Moscow metro ring line.
The station opened on January 30, 1952. This is the most spacious column station of the Moscow metro. The length of the central hall is 190 meters, width 11 meters. ceiling height 9 meters.
Komsomolskaya Ring Station is simply a real palace, the design of which combines several styles. Today this mixture of styles is called the Stalinist Empire style. The design of the station was developed by a group of architects; the design idea was based on the speech of I.V. Stalin 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, Dmitry Donskoy, Kuzma Minin, Dmitry Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov - inspire you in this war! Let the victorious banner of the great Lenin overshadow you!”
68 octagonal marble columns are installed at intervals of 5.6 meters. The ceiling of the station is decorated with eight mosaic panels made of smalt and valuable ornamental stones based on sketches by the artist P.D. Korin. The panels are dedicated to the struggle of the Russian people for independence. The ceiling is also decorated with images of various military attributes and luxurious chandeliers. All this is generously bordered with stucco.
According to the architects' plan, the Komsomolskaya station, where guests of the capital arrive at three railway stations, should make an indelible first impression of Moscow. It really makes an impression!
There is a passage from the Circle Line to Sokolnicheskaya, which is also worthy of being photographed.
On the wall of the escalator hall there is a mosaic depicting the Order of Victory, also made according to a sketch by the artist P.D. Korin.
I take the four-belt escalator up to the Komsomolskaya-radial station. This station is also decorated in an interesting way, but there are always so many people here that no one pays attention to all this...

Station of the Circle Line of the Moscow Metro.
The first metro station near Leningradsky and train 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 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.
USSR Post, S. Pomansky, CC BY-SA 3.0According 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."
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 Komsomolskaya lobbies, but only one was built. The transition to the Sokolnicheskaya line opened along with the station.
At the northern end of the station there is a staircase leading to a small domed antechamber. The dome of the vault, decorated with gold smalt, depicts a red five-pointed star with golden rays diverging in all directions. This mosaic decoration did not appear until the 1960s. A massive multi-arm chandelier is suspended in the center of the entrance hall.
A long and wide corridor leads from the antechamber to the escalator tunnel. The escalator tunnel, in turn, leads to the ground vestibule, common to both stations of the node. This lobby has an octagonal volume under a large dome.
The dome is decorated with stucco and figured bas-reliefs of buglers (by G. I. Motovilov). Along the axis of the dome there are two hanging chandeliers in the form of church chandeliers, and in all corners there are large floor lamps. The walls are lined with light beige marble.
The lobby 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.
Glaue2dk, CC BY-SA 2.5 This entire architectural ensemble is located inside the street pavilion. It is a large two-story building of a cross shape with two six-column porticoes on the side of Komsomolskaya Square and with access to the platforms of the Leningradsky and Yaroslavsky railway stations on 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 through an underground passage under Komsomolskaya Square. The internal vault of the vestibule projects outward into a large gray dome. This dome is crowned with a tall spire with a five-pointed star. The star depicts a hammer and sickle.
The design uses prefabricated cast iron lining, and a monolithic slab is used as a tray. The length of the landing hall is 190 meters, the width of the central nave is 11 m (instead of the typical 8 m for stations of this design), the height of the hall is 9 m (instead of the typical 5.5 m).
According to the last two indicators, this station is the largest of the column 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.
Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany, CC BY 2.0 Architecturally, the Komsomolskaya station is the apotheosis of the Stalinist Empire style, characterized by grandeur, pomp, and 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.
The station has 68 octagonal columns (the pitch is 5.6 meters). The arcades, which include two rows of columns, are connected by graceful arches. They support common entablatures with cornices that extend along the entire length of the station. The bases 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 station's interior architecture. The greatness of this patriotic theme is reflected in the grandiose scale of the spatial construction of the underground hall, in the richness of the decorative decoration, and in the brightness of its color and lighting design. The ceiling of the station is decorated with eight mosaic panels made 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, Dimitry Donskoy, Kuzma Minin, Dimitry Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov - inspire you in this war! Let the victorious banner of the great Lenin overshadow you!..”
I. V. Stalin
The vault is decorated with white stucco ornaments. 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 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 antechamber in front of the escalator corridor was also tiled with mosaics. This statement of Stalin was carved on a marble plaque installed at the entrance to the platform hall.
Zac Allen, 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 “Presentation of the Guards Banner”) were replaced after the debunking of Stalin’s personality cult in 1963. Before this, these panels were repeatedly “corrected” with the removal of disgraced leaders.
Initially, the panel “Presentation of the Guards Banner” depicted Stalin handing over the banner to a soldier, and behind him were 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 fascist banners were abandoned. 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 redid the panel.
The yellow ceiling is also decorated with mosaic inserts and stucco. The hall is illuminated by massive multi-arm chandeliers hanging between the panels; the platforms are illuminated by smaller chandeliers.
The columns are decorated with marble capitals and decorated with light Uzbek Gazgan marble, as are the walls of the station. The floor is paved with crimson-red Kuznechninsky (Kaarlahtinsky) granite. The track platforms are finished with red Kapustinsky and pink-red Klyosovsky granite. At the dead-end end of the hall there is a bust of V.I. Lenin.
The transition begins in the middle of the hall. There are two pairs of escalators leading down into a spacious hall, illuminated 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 there is a Florentine mosaic based on the sketches of P. D. Korin with the image of 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-belt 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.

Komsomolskaya
Named after Komsomolskaya Square, under which it is located.
In 1991, a project was proposed to change the name of the station to “Kalanchevskaya”, and in 1992 - to “Three Stations”, but both projects were not implemented.
Under Komsomolskaya Square between the Prospekt Mira and Kurskaya stations. Located in the Krasnoselsky district of the Central Administrative District of Moscow.

“Komsomolskaya” is mentioned in L. I. Lagin’s book “Old Man Hottabych”, published in 1955. In the 1938 edition, instead of the then non-existent Komsomolskaya station, the Kyiv Station station is mentioned.
“They entered the halls of the third palace, which shone with such splendor that Volka gasped:
- But this is the spitting image of a subway! Well, right next to the Komsomolskaya Ring 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 Circle Line Stations, more often referred to as the Hansa. The inhabitants of this station, like the rest of the Commonwealth, live by trading and collecting tariffs from merchants.
From the northern lobby there is access to the Leningradsky and Yaroslavsky railway stations. The Oktyabrskaya Railway starts from the Leningradsky Station, and the Yaroslavl direction of the Moscow Railway starts from Yaroslavsky. Also nearby is the Kalanchevskaya station of the Kursk direction of the Moscow railway.
Along the passages in the center of the hall there is access to the Kazansky railway station. The Kazan direction of the Moscow Railway begins from the Kazansky railway station.
Komsomolskaya station has access to several ground public transport stops:
Station "Komsomolskaya" of the Circle Line is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful stations of the Moscow metro. In addition, it is unique in its design.
With some reservations, we can say that her project is a further development of the first column 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.
The first deep column station in Moscow, in the USSR and in the world in general was Mayakovskaya, opened on September 11, 1938. It was very brave. In general, despite the excellent architectural design, it turned out to be very complex and labor-intensive to construct.
Taking into account all the difficulties of constructing such a column station, engineers developed a more economical project - Paveletskaya Zamoskvoretskaya line. But alas, the war began, and its course made adjustments to the current appearance of the station. It was opened on November 20, 1943 in a greatly simplified form: without a central hall and only with a pylon part (essentially a small distribution hall) near the exit to the city. The fact is that all the metal structures of the column-girder complex remained in Dnepropetrovsk captured by the Germans.
And only after the war, as a result of a complex reconstruction that lasted almost 10 years without interruption in the movement of trains and passengers, it was converted from a two-hall building into the column that we see now. The first stage of reconstruction was opened on February 21, 1953, and all 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 at the station.
The next station in the column was the Kursk Circle Line, opened on January 1, 1950. The project, which stands alone, turned out to be very complex and labor-intensive in construction, and after that such column stations were no longer built.
For the first stage of the Leningrad Metro, two unique column station projects were developed. The first one is based on the experience of those already built by Mayakovskaya and Paveletskaya. Two stations were built along it: “Technological Institute” and “Baltiyskaya”. According to the second project, the Kirovsky Zavod station was built. What’s most interesting is that this project most likely served as the basis for the development of the Moscow column station, and the St. Petersburg people 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 vault of the middle hall. The need for its construction is caused by the difference in the thrusts of the middle and side tunnels with the existing size of their spans.
To solve this problem, a station design with an increased span of the middle arch was developed. Here, thanks to the adopted ratio of the spans of the middle and outer tunnels, it was possible to achieve balancing of the spacers and to abandon the upper spacer elements in the middle vault. According to this project, as you may have guessed, the Komsomolskaya station of the Circle Line was built.
This is where the story of unique column stations made according to individual projects ends. They turned out to be too expensive and labor-intensive to build.
The column stations were returned almost 20 years later, when Kitay-Gorod was developed and built. This 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’ll tell the story of the various design types of stations, but for now let’s return to Komsomolskaya-Ring.
1. This is a deep column station, built according to an individual project. The station lining is made of cast iron tubes and consists of two open rings of track tunnels with an outer diameter of 9.5 m and an increased middle vault of a circular shape with a diameter of 11.5 m. In the lower part of the middle tunnel there is a powerful reinforced concrete spacer slab 1 m thick, monolithically connected to the reinforced concrete foundations for columns. 
Tunnels and subways / Ed. Dr. Tech. sciences, prof. V.G. Khrapova. - M.: Transport, 1989.
2. The width of the side platforms (from the edge of the platform to the axis of the column) is taken to be 2.8 m, and the span of the middle hall between the axes of the columns is 11 m. To give greater rigidity to the arches of the side tunnels and facilitate their work under the influence of possible excess thrust in each ring Metal spacers from I-beam No. 36 were installed on the lining of the side tunnels at the level of the support tubes. 
Limanov Yu.A. Subways. - M.: Transport, 1971.
3. Increasing the span of the middle hall and eliminating the upper struts 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. 
General history of art. Volume 6, book two. Art of the 20th century / edited by B.V. Weimarn and Yu.D. Kolpinsky. - M.: Art, 1966. ARTYX.RU: Art history.
4. The metal structure of the station consists of a double-walled upper girder, columns and shoes. Statically, the purlins are double-cantilever beams with a cantilever length equal to half the span, supported by box-section columns with a pitch of 4.5 m along the length of the station. The weight of one section of the 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 process of mining rock in the core of the middle hall. Given the volume, an excavator was installed at the station. You can also see the entire column-girder complex in all its glory. And on the left, in the background, you can see an undisassembled side tunnel. In general, the construction process was no different from.

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

6. According to one of the legends, the original design of the station had 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 closely as possible against the column.

19. This station evokes very strange and contradictory emotions for me. I consider it a masterpiece from a design point of view, but from an architectural point of view it is oppressive. Although the taste and color, of course.

21. The size of the slope is amazing. If I’m not mistaken, the same diameter was used during the construction of the transfer between the 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.

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 the debunking of Stalin’s personality cult. About this at home moscowhite
: “This is the most interesting 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 handing over the banner to a soldier (behind the Generalissimo are his closest associates: Molotov, Beria, Kaganovich ), and in the second - the same people 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 poem from those times, a friend told me, whose grandfather once worked in the NKVD), his glasses were unceremoniously taken off in the Korin panels. Then it was the turn of Molotov and other faithful falcons. In 1963, the time had come for global changes: instead of the “Presentation of the Guards Banner,” “Lenin’s Speech to the Red Guards Going to the Front” appeared, and the “Victory Parade” turned into the “Triumph of Victory.” Korin, who was tasked with preparing new sketches for the panel, made this composition so that it included as many fragments of the previous “Parade” as possible. The entire Stalinist Politburo simply disappeared from the picture (the Mausoleum stand was now empty), and an allegorical figure appeared in the foreground: the Motherland with the 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, Korin’s mosaic compositions 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! Let the victorious banner of the great Lenin overshadow you!” For those proletarians who don’t get into artistic metaphors, the Generalissimo’s speech was carved on a marble plaque that hung to the right of the stairs. Now all that’s left of it are crookedly filled holes.”
27. In triangular figured 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, arquebuses, 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 area of three stations, although it was specially built for high passenger traffic. Now it has grown to 110 thousand people and all the beauty of the station is simply lost against this background.

29. And only at night, when there is no one, you can see all its splendor.

30. The station was also chosen by pickpockets from the Circle Line. Almost openly, they hang out in groups, empty their wallets and feel completely unpunished. The police at the station traditionally don't care about this.

31. The depth of the station is about 37 meters.

34. The purpose of the niches near the stairs remains a mystery. In the right niche hung a sign with Stalin's speech. Now there is just a memorial plaque about the station. And in the left one, which is visible in the photograph, there was nothing.

35. Exit to Leningradsky and Yaroslavsky railway stations. I think newspaper vending machines should be thrown out. 
36. The same antechamber. To the left of the police box there is an inconspicuous door. It says that this is a mother and child room. Where else in the metro do we have this? 
37. The usual three-thread tilt is used here. 
38. Hermetic gates. 
39. It is expected that by 2015 another exit to the city will be built at the station. But so far no construction work is underway. 
40. Transfer to Komsomolskaya-radial and exit to the Kazansky railway station. 
41. Of course, because the spacer in the central hall was removed, the station project only benefited. 
42. Komsomolskaya became one of the last works of A.V. Shchusev, who died on May 24, 1949, long before the opening of the station. The project was completed by the workers of his workshop.
