Opening of the metro station "Rumyantsevo". The history of the new Moscow metro station

"Rumyantsevo" is a metro station, the construction of which could begin in the seventies of the last century. Then the capital city planners decided to unload the Kursk railway station, having erected another one, in the south of the Moscow region. However, the plans have changed. The railway station in Rumyantsevo was reconsidered, and at the same time the need to open a new metro station has disappeared.

For more than fifty years, the final stop on the Sokolnicheskaya Line was "Yugo-Zapadnaya". The question of the construction of new stations was not relevant until 2011. It was then that a project was created to expand Moscow. In 2014 the construction of the Troparevo station was completed. This metro construction workers did not stop. The creation of new stations of the "red branch" continued. By 2016, two more sites were built. The opening of the metro station "Rumyantsevo" was held on January 18. "Salarievo" - on the 15th of February. What are the goals of the project to expand the capital? What gives the opening of the metro station "Rumyantsevo" residents of the south-west of Moscow?

Building

Although the opening of the metro station "Rumyantsevo" for many years and represented an event far from the first necessity, in the eighties the question of it was again raised. Along the Leninsky Prospekt was supposed to build a chord line. The station "Rumyantsevo" was to be included in its composition. But this project was not approved.

As already mentioned, in 2011 the rapid process of expansion of the Russian capital began. The opening of the metro station "Rumyantsevo" is part of the "New Moscow" project. In 2014, planned the commissioning of a new site. But soon appeared on the network information that the opening of the metro station "Rumyantsevo" is being postponed. The technical launch took place in 2015. Opening - a year later. Although initially the year of the opening of the station "Rumyantsevo" was announced 2014th.

"New Moscow"

The objectives of this project are to streamline urban zoning and dismantle the monocentric structure of the capital. In the media, information about him first appeared in 2011. "New Moscow" is an analogue of the British project "New Delhi". And in the first and second case, the expansion of the city was carried out in the south-west direction. As a result of the implementation of the project "New Moscow" the Russian capital expanded so much that it could rise from the eleventh place to the sixth in the ranking of the largest cities in the world. However, the population has changed little. Muscovites reacted to the project in different ways. Designers also believe that "New Moscow" will provide residents of the city with apartments and new jobs.

The station "Rumyantsevo" of the Moscow metro is located near the Kiev highway and very close to the business center of the same name. Nearby there is a settlement with the same name. There are several facts about the village of Rumyantsevo. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, there were about two hundred people living here. In 1913 the Zemstvo School was opened. In 1926, according to the census data, more than three hundred people lived in the village. The composition of Moscow Rumyantsevo entered in 2012.

A little digression into the past

The Moscow Metro has a long history. The first stations were opened before the war. The Metropolitan was constantly building up. For each of the periods, certain features are characteristic. The first stations of the Moscow metro resemble an underground kingdom. Here you can see both massive sculptures and bas-reliefs in the style of classicism. The last stations, in the design of which the accent was placed on the decoration, - Frunzenskaya, Sportivnaya. After their discovery in the history of metro-building, the "ascetic" period began. The place of luxury came simplicity. When creating new stations of the Moscow metro, including Rumyantsevo, practicality and aesthetics are given equal importance.

Architectural design

"Rumiantsevo" refers to small stations. Places for construction were allocated less than usual, but because the cash vestibules and offices are located on the upper tier, and the platform - on the lower level. The authors of the project, on which the station was built, are the architects of the company Infproekt.

In the decoration used unusual for the Moscow Metro elements. So, on the walls there are drawings, typical for abstract painting. In the creation of this project architects based on the work of the Netherlands artist Mondrian.

Business Park "Rumyantsevo"

Who first of all pleased the opening of the new station? Residents in the village, located near the subway station "Rumyantsevo", a little. But here there is an office center of several buildings. It employs about a thousand people. Previously, the staff traveled by corporate transport or a fixed-route taxi heading towards Novo-Peredelkino. Now they do not need to get out of the subway, wait for the bus.

In the business park "Rumyantsevo" dozens of offices, cafes, restaurants. There are a huge number of shops offering absolutely different goods, from souvenirs to furniture.

Not far from the newly opened metro station is the construction of a residential complex. That is, the forecast of the designers of the "New Moscow" is confirmed: Muscovites have the opportunity to acquire new housing. And in an ecologically clean part of the city, where previously there were no infrastructure facilities. However, the trouble is that not everyone can afford to buy an apartment here. The residential complex does not belong to the category of economy class.
