Cherkizovskaya (Russian: Черки́зовская) is a Moscow Metro station in the Preobrazhenskoye District, Eastern Administrative Okrug, Moscow. It is on the Sokolnicheskaya Line, between Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad and Ulitsa Podbelskogo stations.

Design[edit]

Cherkizovskaya opened in 1990 and was the work of architects V. Cheremin and A. Vigdorov. The station is named after the former village of Cherkizovo which is a district of Moscow nowadays. The design of the station is a single vault, with a curved ceiling and a platform free of pillars. The outer walls are faced with panels of corrugated metal. Both ends of the platform are decorated with stained-glass panels above the exit stairs.^[2]

Entrances[edit]

The station's vestibule is located at Okruzhnoy Proyezd near the intersection with Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Street. Lokomotiv Stadium is situated nearby.^[2]
