Kiyevskaya (Russian:Ки́евская) is aMoscow Metro station in theDorogomilovo District,Western Administrative Okrug,Moscow. It is on theKoltsevaya Line, betweenPark Kultury andKrasnopresnenskaya stations. It is named after the nearbyKiyevsky Rail Terminal. The design for the station was chosen in an open competition held inUkraine; the entry submitted by the team of E. I. Katonin, V. K. Skugarev, and G. E. Golubev placed first among 73 others and it became the final design.[1] Kievskaya features low, square pylons faced with whitemarble and surmounted by largemosaics by A.V. Myzin celebrating Russo-Ukrainian unity. Both the mosaics and the arches between the pylons are edged with elaborate gold-colored trim. At the end of the platform is a portrait ofVladimir Lenin.
The entrance to the station, which is shared with both of the other two Kievskaya stations, is built into the Kiev railway station. With the completion of the segment of track betweenBelorusskaya andPark Kultury in 1954 the Koltsevaya Line became fully operational with trains running continuously around the loop for the first time.
One of the station's entrances is topped by a reproduction of anArt NouveauParis Metro entrance byHector Guimard, given by theRégie autonome des transports parisiens in 2006[2] in exchange for an artwork by Russian artistIvan Lubennikov installed atMadeleine station in Paris.[3]
