VDNKh (Russian:ВДНХpronounced[vɛdɛɛnxa]ⓘ) is aMoscow Metro station inOstankinsky District,North-Eastern Administrative Okrug, Moscow, Russia. It is located on theKaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line, betweenAlekseyevskaya andBotanichesky Sad stations. VDNKh was opened on 1 May 1958. The name stands forExhibition of Achievements of the National EconomyVystavka Dostizheniy Narodnovo Khozyaystva (abbreviated VDNKh).
VDNKh is one of the deepest Moscow Metro stations, situated 53.5 metres (176 ft) below ground. It is also one of the busiest stations, serving 107,377 passengers a day in 2009.[1]
Originally, this station was planned to be opulently decorated in the manner of the other stations built in the 1950s, withmosaics by venerable artistVladimir Favorsky along the insides of the arches between the pylons. However, in the wake ofNikita Khrushchev's attack on decorative "excessions", the place for mosaics, including existing mosaics as well, were crudely coated with incongruous thick green paint.
It was the deepeststation inMoscow Metro from 1958 until 1979.
Though not directly connected to VDNKh,Moscow Monorail stationVystavochny Tsentr was located within walking distance until 2025.
