Exit m Polezhaevskaya. Polezhaevskaya metro station
The Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line is the seventh branch of the Moscow Metro. On the maps of the metropolitan subway, it is indicated by the lucky number 7 and is graphically represented in purple. This line is amazing. In addition to being one of the busiest lines of the Moscow metro, and despite the fact that almost all of its stations are unique and have no other underground analogues, this is the only line of the Moscow metro that is located entirely on one side of the Moscow River and does not never crossing it (not taking into account the short Kakhovskaya line, consisting of only three stations). About each of the stopping points on it, you can tell many interesting stories to an inquisitive traveler. And one of them is Polezhaevskaya metro station.
Origin
The metropolitan subway was built in stages, in parts. The same applies to the purple branch (Zhdanovsko-Krasnopresnenskaya at that time). On December 30, 1972, when the Polezhaevskaya metro station was first opened, this line did not yet exist, but there were only two separate radii: Taganskaya-Zhdanovskaya (the former name of the Vykhino station) and Barrikadnaya-Oktyabrskoye Pole, which included which entered the new stopping point. The name of the station was given in honor of Vasily Dementievich Polezhaev, Hero of Socialist Labor, foreman of sinkers and later head of the Moscow metro construction. This is evidenced in one of the vestibules of the station.
Station name
It can be said without exaggeration that "Polezhaevskaya" is a unique metro station and the only one of its kind in the Moscow subway. It has two platforms and as many as three railway tracks for the supply of passenger trains. The station lobby is one of the widest in the metropolitan metro and is second only to the Partizanskaya station of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line in transverse size. The station was put into operation at a time when the city was actively developing, growing like mushrooms after rain, Moscow was growing and expanding.
Metro "Polezhaevskaya" is one of those stations that was named not for its urban or geographical location. There are few such stations in Moscow, but they do exist. For example, the station "Kropotkinskaya" or the same "Partizanskaya". Although the design names of the station "Khoroshevskaya" and "Ulitsa Kuusinen" could have been, and in 1992 the metro station "Polezhaevskaya" was practically renamed "Khoroshevskaya" (even schemes where it is so designated have been preserved), she managed to preserve her original historical title.
transfer station
The station vestibules lead to the same Kuusinen street and Khoroshevskoe highway. From here, proposals appeared for linking it to the city plan. Moreover, the convenient territorial location of the station was noticed by the leaders back in the days of the Union republics. According to the project of the architects of that time, the station was supposed to become a transfer hub, and a special third track was intended for a promising branch, which was supposed to go to Serebryany Bor. And although the plans of the leaders of the proletariat were not destined to come true, since the project was rejected by the highest authority, the Polezhaevskaya metro station will nevertheless become a transfer hub, and the third way will be reactivated for passengers, putting it into operation for its intended purpose and plan of the designers. Since 2017, it is planned to launch a branch of the third interchange circuit through Polezhaevskaya, connecting it with the already designed Khoroshevskaya station.
Screen test
Currently, the third track of the station is not used for its intended purpose. Almost all the filming of films and TV shows, the moments of which take place in the subway, take place here. This fully applies to commercials as well. The idle platform and the railway track are very famous among directors and stage directors. Indeed, for filming in the Moscow subway, you always have to coordinate a huge number of documents and receive mountains of permits. In the case of Polezhaevskaya, everything is much simpler. The third track is leased to filmmakers under a specially designed standard contract.
Design and architecture
The metro station "Polezhaevskaya" is located between the stops "Begovaya" and "Ona" shallow with a depth of only 10 meters from the surface. The station is columned, three-span with an increased step between the bearing columns, 25 pieces in one row. The exit to the famous third way goes from the second way by a turnout, and its length is 340 meters. The third path is a dead end. The modern look of the station was designed by architects L. N. Popov, A. F. Fokina, as well as design engineer N. M. Silina.
Columns in the form of a regular octahedron in cross section are finished with white and yellow marble of different shades and are located in the center of each platform. The walls of the tracks are lined with white, and the floor is made of non-staining gray granite. Passage halls and sales halls are finished with gray granite. "Polezhaevskaya" - a metro station, which was mentioned in the world-famous novel by D. Glukhovsky "Metro 2033".
In connection with the construction of a new metro station "Khoroshevskaya" of the Third interchange circuit of the Moscow Metro, starting from November 14, 2015, the eastern lobby of the metro station "Polezhaevskaya" of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line is closed. The preliminary closing date is more than a year, until December 30, 2016. In the official documents of the metro, this lobby is considered to be the southern one, and in a press release it was generally indicated as “lobby No. 1 (the last car from the center)”. Today I will show you what has changed at the operating station.
Polezhaevskaya station is unique in its own way. It has two platforms and three tracks (just like the "Partisan"), but all this time only one platform and two tracks worked. The second platform was closed, and the third track was used (and is still used) for night lineups.
This was the station before the lobby closed.
Trains heading to the center opened the doors to the left side familiar to passengers, as if to an island platform.
This is what the station has looked like for the last 40+ years. With the second platform closed for passengers.
The entrance to the station is through an under-street passage, both from the western and eastern sides. Naturally, we will go where it is already impossible to go today. All stalls are closed.

If I understood correctly, then this is the place where the transition to the future Khoroshevskaya metro station will take place.
Passengers descended the stairs and ascended the escalator.
In the days leading up to the closure, notices were posted at the station announcing the closure. I categorically refuse to accept what the subway calls the lobbies "northern" and "south". Even on the map it is clearly visible. For me, they will be "Western" and "Eastern", excuse me.
A participant in the parade of trains for the 80th anniversary of the metro on the Koltsevaya Line arrives at Polezhaevskaya on May 15-16, 2015.
On Saturday, November 14, 2015, everything changed. The second platform of Polezhaevskaya station was opened for passengers for the first time.
East lobby closed. By the way, according to all the announcements and the press release, the under-street crossing under the Khoroshovsky Highway was also supposed to be closed, but it is still working.
Nothing has changed in the direction of Planernaya. But the trains going to the center now open the doors to the right side, to the "new" platform.
This is the same path that is used to place the trains. Earlier, a branch was planned from this station to Serebryany Bor and Strogino, but it was never implemented.
The trains are already sounding unusual "Polezhaevskaya station - the platform is on the right."
Many people ask: why was it necessary to open a second platform? Is one not enough? I answer: yes, not much.
For passengers exiting the "new" platform, additional exit turnstiles were opened.
If only one platform were left for passengers, it could not withstand such tension, because the passenger flow is now not distributed between the two lobbies, everyone goes in one direction. On a narrow platform, even during rush hour, it can be downright dangerous.
Therefore, now one platform is working to travel to the region, and another one to the center.

NIiPI General Plan of Moscow.
Resale property near the Polezhaevskaya metro station (Khoroshovsky district, SAO) attracts those who want to enjoy the benefits of the center, but avoid its disadvantages - dense buildings, the flow of visitors, high prices. Three subway stations and a 10-minute drive (without a transfer, along the same Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line) separate local residents from Pushkinskaya Square and st. Tverskoy. Just 5-7 minutes longer road to the very "heart" of the capital - Alexander Garden, Okhotny Ryad, Arbat. Khoroshevskoye Highway passes through the microdistrict, from which you can go to the TTK and then to the center by private car or public transport: there are about 20 city routes near the metro stop.
The inhabitants of the apartment near Polezhaevskaya metro station do not have to leave the area to have fun or do some shopping. Free buses leave every 15 minutes directly from the station to Europe's largest Aviapark shopping center, where, in addition to shops and restaurants, there is a 17-screen KARO cinema and a year-round ice rink. Lovers of natural landscapes can take a walk in the nearby park "Birch Grove".
"Resale" near the metro station "Polezhaevskaya": a review of proposals
In the 20th century, the microdistrict experienced several waves of development, the legacy of which periodically falls into the catalogs of real estate agencies. Most often, from the "old stock" for sale, housing is put up for sale in brick "Stalinka" and serial panel houses of the 70-90s. You should pay attention to the latter if you want to buy an apartment near the Polezhaevskaya metro station for an amount comparable to the cost of housing in “bedrooms” more distant from the center.
