- Shabolovskaya
Shabolovskaya ( _ru. Шаболовская) is a station on the
Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line of theMoscow Metro . Though the station itself was built along with the rest of the Kaluzhskaya Line in 1962, problems with the escalator shaft postponed its opening untilNovember 6 ,1980 . During the 18 intervening years the appearance of the platform was modernized, so it does not appear similar to the other 1960s stations on the line.Shabolovskaya has pylons punctuated on all four faces by projecting piers and faced with white
marble . The piers on the transverse faces of the pylons extend upward into the vaulted ceiling. The outer walls are clad in incongruously dark corrugated metal which contrasts sharply with the bright white of the ceiling and pylons. At the end of the platform is a backlitstained-glass panel on the theme ofradio andtelevision broadcasting . The station was designed byI.G. Petukhova ,V.P. Kachurinets ,N.I. Demchinsky , andYu.A. Kolesnikova .Shabolovskaya's entrance vestibule is on Ulitsa Shabolovka south of the intersection with Ulitsa Akademika Petrovskogo.
