Mendeleyevskaya (Russian:Менделе́евская,pronunciation^ⓘ) is aMoscow Metro station on theSerpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line. It is located in theTverskoy District of central Moscow.

It was opened on 31 December 1988. The station was designed byNina Aleshina and Natalya Samoilova keeping to the theme ofDmitri Mendeleev and his works.^[1]

Its depth is 48.5 meters (159 ft). The transfer to theNovoslobodskaya station of theKoltsevaya Line is available.

The station was opened on 31 December 1988 as part of theChekhovskaya — Savelovskaya section, after which it became the 138th operational station in the Moscow Metro. The initial proposal was to name the station Novoslobodskaya, as well as the current station on the Ring Line. Upon opening, it was named after the namesake of the nearbyD. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia.^[2]

The station hall is coated with white marble, and the floor is lined with gray and black granite. The track walls are decorated with inserts featuring stylized images of the deformationelectron density of various binary molecules. The idea of inserts was proposed by the staff of D. I. Mendeleev Russian University of Chemical Technology, who took an active part in the development of the station's design. Moreover, the station lamps are designed in way to resemble the structure ofcrystal lattice. From the center of the hall, stairways lead to thekoltsevaya line station "Novoslobodskaya". The arches of the station halls are supported by columns through shaped wedge-shaped lintels.^[3]

A stray dog namedMalchik lived at the station, and after he was killed in 2001 as a result of a conflict with a local resident walking a purebred dog, a monumentCompassion (Russian:Сочувствие) was erected in the station.^[4]
