The Frunzensko-Primorsky line of the Petersburg metro is a relatively young branch. The first section of the fifth line was opened in 1997. The construction of the "violet" line to full functionality was completed only in 2009, when the section of the "yellow" branch "Komendantsky Prospekt" - "Sadovaya" was attached to the site "Zvenigorodskaya" - "Volkovskaya". Metro often attracts visitors and residents of the city with its special atmosphere and mystery, so the opening of new stations is always a big event. At many forums dedicated to the Petersburg subway, there were stormy discussions of Volkovskaya and its interior. What did the Volkovskaya station remember St. Petersburg, how does it look underground and outside and how to get there?
