Sukharevskaya (Russian:Сухаревскаяpronunciationⓘ) is a station on theKaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line of theMoscow Metro. It opened on 5 January 1972. The station's underground vestibule is located underSretenka Street just south of theGarden Ring. From its opening until November 1990, the station was called Kolkhoznaya, as a nod to the collective farming of theSoviet Union and the similarly named square. As Soviet names lost favor, the square was renamed into the Large and Small Sukharev Squares, both of which are named for theSukharev Tower, which stood nearby until 1934. The station was renamed Sukharevskaya, accordingly.[1]
The yellowishmarble pylons resemble stylized sheaves ofwheat in keeping with the station's original name, Kolkhoznaya or "Collective Farm." The walls are faced with white marble and decorated with plaques by R. Pogrebnoy (who was also the architect), Ye. Kolyupanova, and S. Kolyupanov. Lighting comes from rows of inset lamps running along the base of the ceiling.
