“House on Brestskaya” is the congress and exhibition center of the State Budgetary Institution “Mosstroyinform”, a key platform for demonstrating urban development plans and the results of the work of the Moscow Construction Complex. The main task of the center is to hold congress and exhibition events in the field of urban planning, architecture and design. “House on Brestskaya” begins its history with the creation of the first wooden model of Moscow. In 1975, in connection with the 30th anniversary of the liberation of Budapest from the Nazi invaders, a Hungarian exhibition was organized at VDNKh, in which one of the exhibits was a model of the central part of Budapest. Chief architect of Moscow in 1960-1982. M.V. Posokhin highly appreciated the model and turned to the Chairman of the Moscow Council V.F. Promyslov with a proposal to create a similar model of Moscow. The idea was approved and for 10 years, from 1976 to 1986, two teams of modelers at the Kartolitografiya factory created the model. It was immediately clear that there was no point in trying to make a model of the whole of Moscow; it would be too huge, given the chosen scale of 1:500. Therefore, we limited ourselves to only the central part of the city within the Garden Ring. Based on the existing geological basis, additional geodetic surveys, photographs of existing buildings and materials of the designed buildings, the architects of Mosproekt-1 and Mosproekt-2 developed model drawings. Mosgorgeotrest was also involved in the work. The buildings were made of maple, the relief was made of birch. The Kremlin ensemble is made of mahogany, lemon tree, amaranth, and holly. The domes of the Kremlin cathedrals are covered with gold leaf. The Moscow River and the Yauza River are made of rosewood. However, after new territories were annexed to the capital, the layout concept was revised. By decision of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, work on the new layout began in the fall of 2012 and was included in the state program “Urban Planning Policy of the City of Moscow”, implemented by the capital’s Construction Complex. With an increase in scale to 1:400, the emphasis was placed on the central part of the city, covering the Third Transport Ring, all railway stations, as well as the territory of the Sparrow Hills (including the tallest “Stalinist skyscraper” - the Moscow State University building) and the currently actively developing territory of the ZIL industrial zone .

"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.

Belorusskaya station

The station was opened to passengers on September 11, 1938 as part of the Zamoskvoretskaya metro line. During its existence, the name has not changed.

The Belorusskaya metro station has one above-ground vestibule, built into the north-eastern wing of the Belorussky railway station. The exterior of the lobby is tiled 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 fusts of the columns.

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. This gives passengers a wide view of the lobby when ascending the escalator.

The Belorusskaya station is located in the Tverskoy district on the territory of the Central Administrative District of Moscow.

Story

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 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.

Architecture and decoration

Lobbies

The station has two lobbies - above ground and underground.

The western ground vestibule of the station is located at the Belorussky railway station, on the corner of Gruzinsky Val and Tverskaya Zastava Square. The lobby is a massive, square, three-story building. In front of the façade on Tverskaya Zastava Square there is a portal with high arches between pylon-piers. Along the facade there are entrance and exit arches with a glazed vaulted top under gilded metal grilles.

Between the door arches there is a stepped, cascading fountain. The bas-reliefs along the frieze of the lobby, depicting the triumph of the victorious Soviet people, were made by sculptors S. M. Rabinovich and I. L. Slonim in the workshop of S. M. Orlov. Entrance to the station is through a narrow oval ticket office. The walls near the turnstiles are decorated with red marble, which is sometimes also called “marbled limestone.”

You can see fossilized shellfish in the walls. The antechamber is connected by a curved passage with a transition chamber, which is decorated with light marble. The transition chamber ends with the entrance arch of the escalator hall. 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. The vault rests on six decorative columns, finished in white marble, with Doric capitals. Exit to the street is through a short corridor with white marble walls. The escalator tunnel has three EM-4 type escalators installed in 1952.

The eastern lobby opened on August 25, 1997 on Lesnaya Street. The platform is connected to the lobby by stairs, an approach corridor and escalators. There are four ET-3M type escalators installed in 1997. Ticket offices and turnstiles are located in the lobby. 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. Two ground pavilions lead to the city: one to Tverskoy-Yamskiy, Butyrsky Val, Lesnaya and Zastavny Lane streets, the second to Butyrsky Val Street.

Station halls

In 1951, I. G. Taranov, N. A. Bykova and G. I. Opryshko received the Stalin Prize for their work on the project.

The pylons are lined with light Koelga marble. They harmoniously expand upward, but do not go into the vaults, but are separated from them by simple elegant cornices. The track walls were initially lined with small colored Metlakh tiles, and during reconstruction - with white ceramic tiles. There are pilasters on the track walls under the base of the vault.

Since the design of the station was entrusted to Taranov and Bykova, who were spouses, they decided to realize their plans that were not realized during the construction of the “Belorusskaya”-radial. So, they made a decorative pattern on the floor in the form of traditional Belarusian embroidery. Initially it was made of multi-colored (gray, white and red) ceramic tiles.

During the reconstruction carried out in 1994, the tiles were replaced with polished granite with a significant simplification of the original pattern. The lamps placed on pylons are made in the form of vases made of glass and marble.

The theme of the 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.

When creating them, the architects were inspired by the coffered vaults of the villas of Ancient Rome. 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. Until 1997, the sculptural group “Soviet Belarus” (author M. G. Manizer) was located at the end wall of the central hall; During the construction of the exit to Lesnaya Street, it was dismantled. Compositionally, it was very close to the sculpture “Belarusian Partisans” by the same author, which still stands at the crossing to the Zamoskvoretskaya line.

Transition to Zamoskvoretskaya line

From the center of the hall you can transfer to the Zamoskvoretskaya line (the transition was opened in 1952). The transition begins with a staircase to a bridge across the platform towards Krasnopresnenskaya. Behind the bridge there is a vaulted square transition chamber, then behind the arch there is an escalator antechamber.

The escalator leads to a rectangular vaulted transition chamber on the upper level. At its end there is a monumental sculptural group “Belarusian Partisans” (sculptor M. G. Manizer). 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.
