Metro station "Ploshchad Vosstaniya" in St. Petersburg - the first in its history

Everything always has a beginning. So it was with the St. Petersburg metro as Leningrad. His story began with the opening of the first red line and the first station, which became the metro station "Ploschad Vosstaniya".

The Beginning

The Opening of the metro station "Ploshchad Vosstaniya" in St. Petersburg - Leningrad took place in the autumn of 1955, ten years after the end of the war. And in five years were equipped with a second output from the lobby that led to the building of the Moscow station. After seven years of "Rebellion" has become a major transit hub with the Kirov-Vyborg on the Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya line. The transition is performed as a pedestrian way - comfortable underground passage, and with a short triple escalators, two staircases which rise to the station "Mayakovskaya", and one leads back. It should be noted that the transition "Ploschad Vosstania" - Mayakovskaya - one of the busiest in the St. Petersburg metro.

The station begins daily at 5.40 am. Metro of Saint-Petersburg "Nevsky" closed entry with 0.25 hours. It is not very convenient for citizens and guests of the city, as trains to Moscow station, arriving around the clock. In addition, the "Vosstaniya Square" and closed with a 0.45, which creates additional inconvenience for the money. Agree that you don't want to spend the night in the waiting room when your train leaves shortly before the opening of the metro.

Historic place

The Main pavilion of the metro station "Ploshchad Rebellion" opens its doors at the intersection of Nevsky Prospekt and Vosstaniya street (former Znamenskaya), and on the other hand, Ligovsky Prospekt, and goes on round the square in front of the Moscow station. Nearby are the buildings of the hotel "Oktyabrskaya", the first building which still exists on the corner of Vosstaniya street and Nevsky Prospekt. In the centre of the square stands the obelisk, open to the 40th anniversary of the Victory in the great Patriotic war and is dedicated to the defenders of the city. In this place was the junction of two sections of Nevsky prospect, which under Peter I began to lay simultaneously towards each other from the Admiralty and from the Alexander Nevsky monastery (later Lavra).
