On the 85th anniversary of the opening (05/15/1935), the Moscow Metro has already taught us to open new and restore old metro stations. And it pleases. There are 233 operating stations and 4 under reconstruction in the capital. Impressive numbers. One of the "older" stations is the Partizanskaya station. With its history, with its dissimilarity to other stations and with its own flavor. Even before the Great Patriotic War, near the station, the construction of the huge "People's Stadium" was supposed. But for a span of reasons, its construction was frozen. Hence the station’s design names: "Stalin Stadium", Peoples Stadium, USSR Stadium. The station opened on 01/18/1944. It turns out - the "front man". Until 1947, it was called the "Izmailovsky Park of Culture and Rest named after Stalin." The following names at this station were: Izmailovsky (until 08/20/1963) and Izmailovsky Park (until 03/05/2005). The creation of the architect B.S. Vilensky became the 28th station of the Moscow metro and until the end of 1949, the station was the final .. The modern name is given in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Since the park was a meeting place for veterans of the country's partisan movement, the chairman of the Moscow Veterans Council put forward the idea of ​​renaming the station in tune with these events. The Mayor of Moscow, Yu.M. Luzhkov, did not mind and signed the corresponding resolution. The design of the station is devoted to the theme of the partisan movement during the Great Patriotic War. Steel structures and monolithic reinforced concrete finished in white marble and brown tiles. Sculptures of guerrilla heroes were installed at the columns closest to the exit: Zoe Kosmodemyanskoy and the 80-year-old peasant collective farmer Matvey Kuzmin, who repeated in 1941 Ivan Susanin’s feat and led the Nazis into disastrous swamps. On the intermediate site of granite staircases leading to the exit, the sculpture group "People's Avengers" is installed. The walls of the ground pavilion are faced with white and red marble. The top of the track walls is faced with grayish-yellowish-white marble. On the walls are square tiles with reliefs that depict various types of Soviet weapons. The capitals of the columns are decorated with bas-reliefs: a thicket and a Soviet automatic machine gun on a branch. In 2007-2008, the asphalt floor of the station was almost completely replaced with dark marble, while the light marble, which was made on the floor, was replaced with red granite. One of the few metro stations that dispensed with escalators. A worthy station. The inhabitants of Moscow love and respect her.

A beautiful station: With a huge image: Just a pity that there are no escalators
