RUSSIA - METRO STATIONS
Novokuznetskaya
Novokuznetskaya is a Moscow Metro station
on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. The station was
opened on 20 November 1943. The decorations include seven hexagonal ceiling mosaics by V. Frolov on the theme of
wartime industry and bas-reliefS running along the base of the ceiling
(by artists N.V.
Tomsky, A.E. Zelensky, S.M. Rabinovich, and N.M. Shtamm) depicting the
soldiers of the Red Army in
combat. The pink and white marble pylons
are also decorated with cast-bronze portraits of Russian war heroes like Mikhail KutuzoV and Alexander Nevsky. The
ornate marble benches lining the
platform were removed from the original Cathedral of Christ the SaviouR
before it was demolished. Floor lamps, long since replaced with more up-to-date
lighting in other Metro stations, still give Novokuznetskaya an atmosphere of
brooding shadow.
