The Moscow metro for a traveler is, first of all, a variety of stations with its history and features. Here we will analyze one of them - "Peasant's outpost".
Station Feature
This station of the Lublin line (salad branch) is the 154th in a row in the Moscow metro. The neighbors of the Peasant Outpost are Dubrovka and Roman. Its opening took place on December 28, 1995, the name was given by the name of the area located next to it. The station is located on the territory of the Central Administrative District, Tagansky district of the city, on the section "Chkalovskaya" - "Volzhskaya".
The depth of the "Peasant Outpost" is 47 m. It has one direct island-type platform, the width of which is 19 m. The station opens daily at 5:40, closes at 1:00. The average passenger traffic at the station is about 7.8 thousand people per day, transfer traffic is about 120.3 thousand people every day.
The “Peasant Outpost” stands out from all the others because it is the first station built according to the column-wall type. She became the prototype for the later built salad "Dostoevskaya", "Dubrovka", "Trubnaya". This type is characterized by a three-vaulted deep-laid structure, a support for columns and track walls - a reinforced concrete slab-monolith, the absence of sub-platform rooms.

Station decoration
Almost all Moscow metro stations have their recognizable “face” and design style. "Peasant outpost" here is no exception - its appearance reflects all kinds of agricultural labor. The architects N. Shurygin, N. Shumakin, artists and sculptors Yu. Shishkov, M. Andronov, designers L. Romadina, E. Barsky, M. Belova worked on the development of the project.
The walls and arches of the "Peasant Outpost" are tiled with light marble, and the floor is tiled with black and grayish granite. Its space is illuminated by luminescent lamps looking out of niches. The columns of the station - works of art using the Roman mosaic technique - abstract panels, on which the viewer needs to unravel the elements, one way or another connected with peasant labor.
Area "Peasant's outpost"
The square, which gave the name of the metro station, acquired its modern name in the last century - in 1919. Before that, it was called Spasskaya Zastava - due to the close location of the Novospassky Monastery. The word "outpost" was added from the Kamer-Kollezhsky Val customs office also located in the neighborhood. The power of the Soviets renamed the square to the glory of the Soviet peasants.
The peasant outpost, having an area of about 300 m 2 , is limited by Vorontsovskaya and Abelmanovskaya streets, 3rd Krutitsky lane and Volgogradsky prospect. It can be accessed directly from the streets of Marxist, 1st Dubrovskaya and Stroykovskaya. Geographically, the area is located in the Southern Administrative District, Yuzhnoportovoy and Tagansky districts of Moscow. The metro stations "Krestyanskaya Zastava" and "Proletarskaya" overlook it.
