Leninsky Prospekt (Russian:Ленинский проспект English:Lenin Avenue) is a station on theKaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line of theMoscow Metro. It was built in 1962[1] to a variant of the standard column tri-span design, which included a more vaulted central span. The pillars are faced with whitemarble with a strip of gray at the base and the outer walls are tiled. The original metal light fixtures still run the length of each platform span were replaced in 2004 with more utilitarian fluorescent fixtures. The architects of the station are A. Strelkov,Nina Alexandrovna Aleshin, Yuriy Vdovin, V. Polikarpov and A. Marova.
Leninsky Prospekt has two entrances, interlinked with subways on the east side of theLeninsky Avenue after which it was named and with exists also to both sides of theYuri Gagarin Square.
Currently the station serves 61,600 passengers daily. In the middle of a platform there is a staircase allowing transfer toPloschad Gagarina station of theMoscow Central Circle. Since the station was built, and until recently, this staircase was a unique feature of the station, that led nowhere for years. The staircase was intended to be a part of this transfer since inception, but even though passenger service on theMoscow Little Ring Railway was in planning since 1960s, the preparatory works for that only began in the 21st century, and the transfer only opened for passengers on 10 September 2016, more than 50 years later.
