The metro station "Pyatnickoe Highway". Mitino District
The metro station "Pyatnickoe shosse" is the newest one that is located on the Arbat-Pokrovskaya branch. The opening took place in 2012. This is the most western station of the Moscow metro. The article tells about the area in which the Pyatnitskoye Shosse metro station is located, as well as the history of the station.
Building
Initially, the final on the Arbat-Pokrovskaya line was planned to make the station "Rozhdestveno". The exit in this case would be carried out to the residential complex under construction in 2012. However, later on in this place only cottages were erected. The need for a subway has disappeared. It was decided to build a station, the exit from which would be carried out at the intersection of Mitinskaya Street and Pyatnitskoye Highway. After all, this is a very densely populated area.
Metro "Pyatnickoe highway" was built for two years. In 2009, the residents of the city knew about the forthcoming opening of the station in the north-west of Moscow. However, the name in the project was different. On the metro scheme, the station under construction is designated as "Pyatnitskaya". But in the center of the capital there is a street that carries the same name. To avoid misunderstanding, the westernmost station of the Arbat-Pokrovskaya branch received a modern name.
In 2014, the issue of its renaming again became relevant. Russia was preparing to celebrate the anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War. The Council of Veterans suggested calling the station "Oboronnaya". The proposal was approved by the city authorities. However, as Mitino continues, the passengers hear the following in the performance of a pleasant female voice: "The next station is Pyatnitskoe Shosse."
The metro station is usually built on the design of engineers who won the corresponding competition. What principles are guided by the members of the jury, choosing the best project, is unknown. Probably, the practicality and the aesthetic side play a role. One way or another, the competition for the design of the "Pyatnitskoye Highway" was won by the employees of the company "Mosinzhproekt".
Architectural design
The metro station "Pyatnickoe shosse" has a magnificent appearance. The walls are lined with black and white marble. The design itself has an arcuate shape. Among the more than two hundred stations of the Moscow subway, only five have this feature.
Arbat-Pokrovskaya line
Until 1984, the Mitino district was not part of Moscow. But the Russian capital is expanding rapidly. Perhaps in ten years or so the residents of Istra and Solnechnogorsk districts will also be able to proudly call themselves Muscovites. At the beginning of the two-thousandth residents of Baryshiha - another street near the Pyatnitskoye Shosse metro station - they did not dream of reaching the Red Square in twenty minutes. The nearest station until 2003 was "Kievskaya". The wilderness could be seen where there is now a spectacular black-and-white building with the inscription "Pyatnitskoe Highway".
The metro station, which ends in the west Arbat-Pokrovskaya line, opened three years after the completion of the construction of Mitino.
Molodezhnaya, Slavyansky Boulevard, Kuntsevskaya, Krylatskoye, Strogino, Volokolamskaya and Myakinino were opened for six years. That is, the construction of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya branches was conducted at a fairly rapid pace.
Mitino village
Not so long ago in the Mitino district there was not a single major shopping center. And before the beginning of the nineties there was a village. In historical sources of the beginning of the seventeenth century, Mitino is mentioned as a wasteland. In later documents, it is referred to as a relatively large population center. However, by the end of the seventeenth century, the villagers had become considerably less. The blame for this is the plague epidemic, which was engulfed by Moscow.
Metro "Pyatnickoe Highway" is located where a new village was built. And it happened in the XIX century. That is, more than a hundred years, this area was almost deserted. Since the revival of the village, the population has been growing steadily. By the middle of the last century it was about 800 people.
Shops in Mitino
In the nineties the district was actively built up by typical multi-storey buildings. Today it is one of the most prestigious in the capital. There are many shops and shopping centers here. The nearest from the metro station "Pyatnickoe highway" - TC "Mandarin". On the second floor of the center is "McDonald's". On the first - a non-stop supermarket "Victoria". In this shopping center there are shops offering perfumes, pet goods, clothes, shoes. In the "Mandarin" is also the restaurant "Chayhona No. 1".
Not far from the metro station "Pyatnickoe Highway" is the "New Book", a pharmacy, two branches of the Savings Bank and several other large shopping centers. Namely: Mitino, Rook, Ark. These complexes are located in ten minutes walk from the station "Pyatnickoe Highway". And each of them is located twenty to thirty meters from the exits from the metro station "Mitino".
Many residents of the area prefer to make purchases in the shopping center "Otrada". To get to it from the metro station "Pyatnickoe Highway" can be on any of the buses or shuttles that go to Zelenograd or one of the settlements of Solnechnogorsk district of the Moscow region.
