The station has two exits: to Pushkinskaya Square in the lobby combined with Tverskaya, located in the basement of the Izvestia newspaper building, as well as to the underground passage under Strastnoy Boulevard. The station is one of the busiest in the Moscow metro.
Story
The history of the design of the Pushkinskaya station is connected with the history of the design of the station Gorky radius under Pushkinskaya Square. According to the plans of 1932, on the section “Okhotny Ryad” (built as “Sverdlov Square”) - “Sadovo-Triumfalnaya Square” (built as “Mayakovskaya”) of the Tver radius, it was planned to build two stations - “Mossovet” and “Strastnaya Ploshchad” (still name of Pushkin Square). In 1934, the Mossovet station was excluded from the plan, and the second one remained under the name Pushkinskaya Square. In 1935, they also abandoned Pushkinskaya Square, but left a foundation for it.
The Zhdanovsko-Krasnopresnenskaya line was planned for construction in 1957, but the details of this project are unknown. In 1966, the Zhdanovsky radius was opened from the Taganskaya station to the Zhdanovskaya station. Proposals for connecting the radii were made in a variety of ways, and only in the late 1960s was the Zhdanovsko-Krasnopresnenskaya line designed in its current form. According to the 1968 plan, it was planned to put into operation the section “Nogina Square” - “Krasnopresnenskaya” (built as “Barrikadnaya”) in 1975. The Pushkinskaya station was built under the project name “Pushkin Square”.
When designing the middle part of the line, the builders and architects encountered difficulties, which consisted of difficult engineering and geological conditions in the areas where these stations were built. This contributed to the development of a new type of station, different from the previously built “Nogin Square” - deep columns with an expanded central hall, as well as an increased spacing between the columns. For this purpose, tubes with a diameter of 9.5 meters were used, which led to an increase in the height and width of the average hall by 1.6 and 1.5 meters, respectively. New design solutions also included the use of tray slabs of the 85LP series, which during the construction of the station allowed saving about 950 tons of cast iron and reducing labor costs. To implement new technologies, the BOM-1 drilling unit, station tubing layers and self-propelled installation trolleys were used, which made it possible to complete the construction of the station in just two years (which turned out to be six months ahead of schedule). In addition, when digging a tunnel from the Kuznetsky Most station, an experimental shield was used, however, due to the unsuccessful design of the shield, after digging fifty linear meters, it was decided to dismantle it and continue excavation in the usual way.
The Pushkinskaya station was opened on December 17, 1975 as part of the Barrikadnaya - Nogina Square section, connecting two radii into one Zhdanovsko-Krasnopresnensky diameter. During the construction of this station, the Gorkovskaya escalator slope and the transition between these stations were also built. After the commissioning of the Nogina Square - Barrikadnaya section, the number of stations of the Moscow Metro reached 99. In order to ensure a transfer to this line, it was necessary to build a station (which became Gorkovskaya) on the existing Mayakovskaya - Sverdlov Square section of the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. In addition, the plans for the Timiryazevskaya line also included a station with a transfer to Gorkovskaya and Pushkinskaya (Chekhovskaya). At the same time, three lines ran at different depths: closer to the surface - the Gorkovsko-Zamoskvoretskaya line, below - Zhdanovsko-Krasnopresnenskaya, even lower - Timiryazevskaya, and the stations of the planned interchange hub were located in a triangle. During the construction of the Gorkovskaya station, as well as the transition to it from Pushkinskaya, Metrostroy workers discovered archaeological finds, in particular, coins, fragments of clay candlesticks and other items related to XVIII century. In 1979, a transition to the Gorkovskaya station was opened, and the western vestibule of Pushkinskaya became combined with this station. In 1987, a transition to the Chekhovskaya station of the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line was opened.
Architecture and decoration
Station halls
The station is a column, three-vaulted, deep, which have not been built in Moscow since the 1950s. “Pushkinskaya” is the station with the greatest depth on the line. The column spacing is 5.25 m. The width of the middle hall is 8.2 m, height - 6.25 m.
Tall columns, expanding towards the central and side halls, form graceful arcades. Simple semi-cylindrical vaults rest on their common entablatures. The arches are decorated with decorative friezes with relief images of palm branches and rosettes. Flutes on the columns, as conceived by the architects, visually lighten and emphasize the slenderness of the columns. The rhythm of the columns is disrupted by two staircase descents, which, according to the authors of the station, weakens the impression of uniformity and monotony. The entire station is designed in a white color scheme.
The Pushkin theme in the design can be seen in the bright copper embossings located on the track walls - four on each. The coinage is dedicated to Moscow (two coinage), St. Petersburg, the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, the Mikhailovskoye estate, the poet’s grave in the Svyatogorsk Monastery and the poet’s poetic gift (two coinage). Each image is accompanied by lines from the poet's works.
Chandeliers and sconces were made by V. A. Bubnov, who later became an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. The chandeliers are made in the form of two-tier cone-shaped chandeliers with 18 stylized candles in the lower and 10 in the upper tier, located along the axis of the vaults of the station halls. There are sconce candelabra for 4 candles on the walls. The floor of the platform is lined with Aktau granite. Columns, end and track walls are made of Koelga marble. At the end of the station, in the transition chamber, there is a bronze bust of A. S. Pushkin, made by sculptor M. A. Shmakov based on the famous portrait of the artist O. A. Kiprensky. It stands on a high white marble pillar against the backdrop of a white marble wall.
Lobbies
The station has two underground lobbies: western (shared with Tverskaya station) and eastern (shared with Chekhovskaya station).
The ticket office and escalator halls have low ribbed ceilings with powerful floor beams. Along the central axis, both halls are supported by rows of columns - rectangular in the ticket hall and round in the escalator hall. Between the columns there is a line of entrance turnstiles to both stations. The walls of the lobby are lined with light cloud and snow marble from the Koelga deposit with a faint pattern. The wall of the Tversky Passage facing the hall is lined with marble breccia. The floor is covered with gray coarse granite with inclusions of gray diabase and diorite.
The eastern underground vestibule is common to the Pushkinskaya and Chekhovskaya stations and is a vast rectangular room with a low, flat suspended ceiling covered with small square light caissons. Three massive rectangular columns support the ceiling of the vestibule along the short axis of the room. The walls and columns of the lobby are lined with marble from the Gazgan deposit. From the lobby there are exits to the underground passage under Strastnoy Boulevard and to Pushkinskaya Square.
Transitions
The interchange hub, whose stations were named after the writers and poets A. S. Pushkin, Maxim Gorky and A. P. Chekhov, was deeply symbolic. In 1991, the Gorkovskaya station was renamed Tverskaya, simultaneously with a similar renaming of Gorky Street.
The transition from “Pushkinskaya” to the “Tverskaya” station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line begins in the western half of the station with a staircase to the bridge across the platform and the tracks towards the “Kotelniki” station. Behind the bridge there are two arched passages into a long and wide intermediate chamber. The intermediate chamber leads into two vaulted corridors to the escalators in the central hall of Tverskaya. The passage is decorated in the Pushkinskaya style: the walls are lined with white marble, and there are sconces and candelabra on them.
Exploitation
“Pushkinskaya” is one of the busiest metro stations; according to 1999 data, about 400 thousand people used the station every day: 170 thousand people - from the crossing of the Tverskaya station and 212 thousand people - from the crossing of the Chekhovskaya station. In March 2002, the passenger flow at the entrance was 87.8 thousand people.
The southern lobby opens for passengers to enter at 5:35 a.m. and closes at 1:00 a.m. The north concourse opens at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 10:30 p.m.

Incidents
On August 8, 2000, at 17:55, an explosion occurred in the underground passage under Pushkinskaya Square from the exit to the Akter Gallery shopping center. The explosion killed 13 people, of whom 7 died on the spot, and 6 subsequently died in medical institutions. 118 people were injured varying degrees gravity. The blast wave destroyed most of the shopping pavilions in the passage, and also damaged the structures of the passage itself. The crime was not solved, and in 2006 the criminal case was suspended due to the alleged death of the perpetrators of the terrorist attack, as stated by Moscow prosecutor Yuri Semin.

However, if we talk specifically about the premises of the said station, the stages of its construction, the internal design, the design of entrances and exits, it turns out that all this is the result of a huge investment of effort, skill, talent and, of course, time.
Let’s dwell on these points in more detail.
"Pushkinskaya". Metro. general information about the station
In the very center of the Russian capital there is a very popular metro station named after Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. So famous name, consonant with the surname of the classic of the Silver Age, is of increased interest to foreign tourists. And the location in close proximity to it gives a certain status.
Art. The Pushkinskaya metro station belongs to the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line. Passengers began using it in December 1975. At the same time, the “neighbor” of Pushkinskaya, the Kuznetsky Most station, also began operating on the Kitay-Gorod-Barrikadnaya section. This central section made it possible to combine the Krasnopresnensky and Zhdanovsky radiuses into one line.
"Pushkinskaya". Metro. Design ideas and technical specifications
The Pushkin theme is strongly felt in the entire design of the station. Copper embossings are located against the background of the white walls. Most of the works are dedicated to St. Petersburg, and only two directly relate to Moscow.
Here you can see the Tsar’s Lyceum, Mikhailovskoye, the monument to the Svyatogorsk Monastery, where the poet is buried, and even read lines from Pushkin’s immortal works. Two more coins contain information about the talents of Alexander Sergeevich. Every passenger can get acquainted with it while waiting for a train or a friend who is late for a meeting.
"Pushkinskaya" among the other stations of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line is considered the deepest, its level is fifty-one meters underground. The distinctive features of the three-vaulted room with high columns include the presence of one island-type platform and a reverse vault in the central hall.
The station has not one, but two underground passages. Moving along the western lobby, you will certainly find yourself on Tverskaya. Trains traveling along the Zamoskvoretskaya Line are accessible from two rectangular halls connected by short passages. You can go out to Tverskaya Street and into the underground passage under the square of the same name.
Through the eastern lobby it is possible to proceed to the trains of the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line. Passing along a wide corridor with a low ceiling, illuminated by square-shaped xenon lamps, passengers find themselves on the platform of the Chekhovskaya station. You can exit through the underground passage under Strastnoy Boulevard.
"Pushkinskaya". Metro. Key Features
Pushkinskaya has long been assigned the status of an extremely busy station. More than four hundred passengers begin to descend into the metro after 5.35, and this flow does not dry up until 1.00 am.
By the way, it should be noted that users of telephone services from MTS, Beeline, Megafon or Skylink, even being so deep underground at Pushkinskaya, always remain in touch.
