Metro station "Bratislava". Moscow metro map

The Moscow subway is not only a fast, convenient and safe way to get from one end of a metropolis to another, it's still a great architectural monument and a huge layer of our history, showing how views and values have changed for almost a hundred years. The first branch of the metro began operating in 1935. The line of the underground railway stretched from the Sokolniki station to the Park Kultury station. Branching assigned part of the train to the station "Smolenskaya". About the metro station "Bratislava" at that time, no one even thought.

The capital of Slovakia

The Slovak Republic is a small state in the territory of the European Union, the lands of which the Slavs settled in the fifth century AD, at the time of the Great Migration of Nations. The country gained independence on January 1, 1993, again leaving Czechoslovakia. The capital of the state, the city of Bratislava, was founded in the same fifth century. For one hundred and forty three years, since 1541, it is the capital of Hungary. The population of the city is less than half a million. From a geopolitical point of view, Bratislava is the only city in the world that borders directly with two other states: Hungary and Austria. Moscow, as well as Saratov, as well as Ukrainian Kiev, are sister cities of the Slovakian Bratislava.

Light green branch

Lubelsko-Dmitrovskaya line of the Moscow metro was the first branch of the metro, completely launched into circulation after the fall of the Soviet Union. Seventeen stations are part of it, and it was started in 1978. The metro map of Moscow stands for its light-green color. Two traction parts serve this direction by rolling stock: the electrodepo Pechatniki and (since 2005) the turnaround electric depot Brateevo. At present, this line is the most promising in terms of development. The projected Dmitrov radius will add about eight or nine more stations to the branch and lead to its final stop with turnout deadlocks almost to the city's border, at the intersection of the Dmitrov highway and the Moscow Ring Road.

Metro station "Bratislava"

At the junction of three young districts of Moscow: Lublino, Kuzminki and Marino - in late December 1996, they opened a new metro station. This became a pleasant New Year's gift for the residents of these and nearby districts, since they could reach the city center only by ground public transport before crossing it with adjacent branches of the Moscow subway. The metro station "Bratislava" received its name in honor of the Russian-Slovak friendship of peoples and warm relations between the two capitals. Initially, at the project stage, the station was to be assigned the name "Krasnodonskaya", after the name of the nearby street.

Registration of the station

Soviet architects A. V. Orlov and A. Yu. Nekrasov gave the station an unforgettable entourage, different from all other stops. Bratislava is a shallow station. The columned two-span structure is decorated with hand-molded medallions of the Bratislava Castle and the fortress of Devin, the friendly republic of Russia. On the ends of the station are also placed a panel depicting the Moscow City Hall and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The station's floor is laid out in chess style with black and white marble. The seemingly weightless walls of light light marble with a barely noticeable shade of blue gently reflect the light from the ceiling light guides. The center of the Bratislava Hall is devoid of column supports of the ceiling of the station, as this place was planned to be left under a transplant for a hypothetically possible second ring line of the metro. At present, the branch of the second ring was decided to be put through the metro station Pechatniki.

Underground is faster

Public high-speed transit transport of the city plays a huge role in the life of modern megacities. It allows you to save time on working days, moving from one end of the capital to another, avoiding transport difficulties on the roads loaded with cars. The development of the metro is the prime task of the heads of municipal economy. For free movement and permission to traffic collapse in the streets, each neighborhood of a large city must be connected to a system of movement on underground electric trains. And this rule is mandatory for every metropolis with more than a million inhabitants, especially for such large residential areas as the capital of our homeland, the city of Moscow. Metro "Bratislava" plays in the structure of the Moscow subway is not the last role.

To each - by metro!

If you look at the map of the capital, you can not only marvel at the diversity of its residential and social structure, the presence of green spaces and reservoirs, but also notice how widely the metropolitan has spread its multicolored network of lines. Almost every district of the city is covered by a stopping point, and those places that do not yet have such an advantage will soon be found. It is enough to look at perspective maps of urban transport development. What's not there: new branches and metro lines, the second underground ring, a ring branch of high-speed broad-gauge trams , light metro lines and a monorail transport system, the Moscow ring railway and suburban electric trains with transfer stops to metro stations integrated into one transport-passenger net. Moscow Metro is recognized as one of the best in the world, won several awards, including in the Soviet era, and the intensity of use is the fifth in the world, after the Chinese Beijing and Shanghai, Korean Seoul and Japanese Tokyo.
