Location Sokol Location within Moscow Metro

Sokol (Russian:Со́кол, English:Falcon) is aMoscow Metro station on theZamoskvoretskaya Line. The station opened on 11 September 1938. Designed by K. Yakovlev, V. Polikarpova, and V. Andreev, it features a single row of pillars which flare upward into the arched ceiling, separated by circularcoffers. Sokol is finished in a variety of materials, including white and gray Koyelgamarble,onyx,granite, and white ceramictile. The two entrances to the station are located on both sides ofLeningradsky Prospekt. An additional exit to the underpass is available from the south end of the platform. Another entrance was cut in 2003 from the nearby Metro Market shopping center. It was the northwestern terminus of the line until 1964 when 3 northern stations were opened. AZamoskvoretskaya Line depot is located near the station.

The station is named after the Sokol cooperative settlement (built in the 1920s) that also gave name to theSokol District.

On 19 March 2006, a section of tunnel between Sokol and Voykovskaya stations collapsed and fell onto a metro train. It was reported that the accident was due to workers setting up an advertising billboard in the street above the tunnel. Despite a concrete slab piercing one of the carriages the accident did not cause any injuries.^[1]
