Moscow. Station metro Ploshchad Ilyicha.

Ploshchad Il'icha (Russian: Площадь Ильича) is a station on the Moscow Metro's Kalininskaya Line. It was opened on 30 December 1979 as part of the line's first stage.

 

Named after the Il'ich square (indirectly referring to Vladimir Il'ich Lenin by his patronym), which has since been renamed to Rogozhskaya Zastava, the station is a deep-level pylon tri-vault design. The connotation of the location's former name, influenced the architectural theme of the station realisation of Lenin's ideas by architects L.Popov and V.Klokov and engineers Barsky and Murmotsev.
