Uprising Square (metro station)

The pavilion of the station’s northern exit was designed by architects V.V. Gankevich, B.N. Zhuravlev , I.I. Fomin , engineer E.A. Erganov and is located at the intersection of Nevsky and Ligovsky Prospects and Uprising Street , on the site of the demolished Znamenskaya Church .

The pavilion is decorated in a classic style - a round building with risalits attached to the sides. The building, which is one of the symbols of the St. Petersburg metro, completes the rotunda with a spire , which from the moment of construction was crowned with a star in a laurel wreath. A month before the opening of the monument erected on Vosstaniya Square, also crowned with a star [1] , the star on the spire of the metro station was replaced by the letter "M" (that is, "Metro"). The letter was later lost.

On August 13, 1960, the second lobby was opened at the Moscow station with exits to the station and Ligovsky Prospekt. Architects - A. S. Getzkin and V. P. Shuvalova. Initially, in addition to the underground passage to the light room, there was a transition to suburban traffic platforms, which was closed when an automated payment system was introduced on them. In 2004, the lobby was reconstructed; on an oblique course, the original burgundy panels of the escalator balustrades were replaced with metal ones.

In both vestibules there are three-band escalator marches with escalators of the LT-1 type. The height of the lift in the north lobby is ≈ 57 m, in the south ≈ 54 m.

“Uprising Square” - a deep- laid pylon station (depth ≈ 58 m ). The underground hall was designed by architects V.V. Gankevich , B.N. Zhuravlev , I.I. Fomin and engineer E.A. Erganov.

During the construction of the station, groundwater entered the subway.

Central Hall

The theme of the design of the underground hall is the October Revolution of 1917 . When designing the underground part of the station, the architects used classical methods of shaping, which corresponded to the tradition that prevailed in Soviet architecture of the 1950s ^[3]

Architects preserved the configuration of the tunnel, trying to get as close as possible to the dimensions of the structure, and use the hall space with maximum efficiency. Thinking to preserve such a shape of the station, the architects subordinated everything to this plan:

• The basement, lined with red Ural marble , rises to a height of only ~ 1.05 meters, on top of it is limited to a stucco molding. This base is the lowest among the stations of the St. Petersburg metro.
• The arch of the central hall is intersected by white stucco arches , with light arches built into them. The rich decorative decoration used elements of the architecture of the Classicism era.
• From the side of the central hall, the pylons are decorated with decorative grilles in round ventilation openings and bas-relief medallions .

Four bas-reliefs are placed between the interchange escalator and the exit to the Moscow station on the pylons of the central underground hall:

• "Speech by V.I. Lenin in the Tauride Palace ." Sculptor A. I. Dalinenko (contains the image of I. V. Stalin preserved in St. Petersburg )
• "AT. I. Lenin at the hut in Razliv . Sculptor V. B. Pinchuk
• “ Aurora Shot.” Sculptor A.V. Razumovsky
• "Lenin's speech on the square in front of the Finland Station." Sculptor V.I. Tatarovich

The end wall of the central underground hall was decorated with a bas-relief portrait of V.I. Lenin by sculptors A.G. Pliskin and V.I.Sychev. It was dismantled during the arrangement of the second exit to the surface.

The floor of the central hall is lined with red granite , near the pylons there are strips of black labradorite , on the side of the central hall are decorated with regularly arranged decorative cloves bounded by a white stripe.

Landing platforms

The track walls are decorated with the same red marble and decorative stucco molding, like the rest of the station. At the bottom of the walls there is a strip of black tiles, as at the other stations of the first stage. On the doors of the track walls there are decorative grilles with the inscription “1955”, according to the year the station was opened. Landing platforms are illuminated by richly decorated chandeliers , similar in design to those used three years earlier in the design of Moscow Novoslobodskaya , which use a sickle and hammer , as well as five-pointed stars . The extreme chandeliers are located at a sufficient distance from the ends of the platforms, which is why parts of the station at the portals of the tunnels were dimly lit. In 2016, additional simplified luminaires in the form of luminous stripes were installed on the walls of the side halls of the last cars, and the first cars were equipped with curtain lighting with spotlights.

The platform towards the Avtovo station is significantly narrowed in the place of the escalator slope located above the platform. On the opposite platform in the middle of the station, the ceiling is supported by beams, also dividing the platform volume into two parts.

In 1993, the floors on the platforms were changed from asphalt to granite , and the granite on two different platforms was different - the platform towards Chernyshevskaya was lined with gray granite, and the platform towards Vladimirskaya was lined with red.

The station is a junction to the trains of line 3 , to the Mayakovskaya station.

Significant passenger traffic at the transfer led to the fact that the station uses two directions of change.
Unlike the Gostiny Dvor transfer hub ← → Nevsky Prospekt , the passenger traffic during the transfer is two-way, however, for the transfer from the Mayakovskaya side, station attendants recommend using a pedestrian tunnel.

There were cases when, due to the congestion at the exit to the Moscow station, passengers, on the contrary, were called to use the escalator passage in both directions.

Small escalators

Connect the middle of the station "Ploshchad Vosstaniya" and the eastern end of " Mayakovskaya ". The initial project included three escalator belts; after the reconstruction in 1992-1993 , the number of escalators was increased to four.

The escalator slope is simplified, repeating the initial station decoration. The walls and ceiling are plastered, the lighting at the bottom is cornered, and the fluorescent lamps are recessed at the top around the perimeter of the arch. Tunnels of the third line significantly protrude from the ceiling of the station "Ploshchad Vosstaniya".

The wall opposite the escalator is tiled with marble. It hung the text of the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the assignment of the metro named after V.I. Lenin. ^[four]

During the reconstruction of the transition to Mayakovskaya in 1992 - 1993, this decree was withdrawn. As of summer 2007, traces of leaks are visible on the marble wall decoration, most of the wall is covered with advertising posters. On the floor of the station, the white pattern at the junction of the transition is replaced by a straight line.

Pedestrian Tunnel

The tunnel leads from the stairs at the south end of the platform of the Ploshchad Vosstaniya station, where the passenger flows of the station and the escalator lift to the Moskovsky Station converge, to the stair descents in the center of Mayakovskaya.

The decoration of the tunnel is simple, two-color tiles are applied. The design of the tunnel with the proportions of the low base and the red color echoes the design of the station “Ploshchad Vosstaniya”. Lighting is made in the form of two bands of fluorescent lamps laid on metal substrates. In the tunnel there is a first-aid post and a traffic control service.

Under the station tunnel of the Mayakovskaya station, the pedestrian tunnel is divided in two by the wall, and under the stairway from the station there is an original metal sign.

  Entrance to the station

According to the Prospect advertising agency, about 93 thousand people use the station daily (total traffic through both entrances / exits). The monthly passenger flow is 2,801,691 people. ^[five]

• The length of the stretch "Vladimirskaya" - "Uprising Square" - 720 meters ^[6] . This is the shortest stage in the St. Petersburg metro.

On April 3, 2017, at about 3:00 p.m. (according to the information of the Fontanka.ru site), a makeshift explosive device equipped with striking elements was discovered at the station. The specified device was timely rendered harmless by the UFSB explosives ^[7] . The power of the explosive device was 1 kilogram of TNT, the device itself was disguised as a fire extinguisher ^[8] . The device had a remote control; for its neutralization, mobile communication was temporarily shut off ^[9] .

Behind the station is a three-turn reverse deadlock. In 1967, it was extended to the Mayakovskaya station, becoming a connecting branch. Previously, VET was at a standstill.

From the station "Ploshchad Vosstaniya" a transfer will be made to the planned Sixth Line Znamenskaya station

It is also planned to build a three- or four-level shopping center under the square, from which the entrance to the metro will be made - either to Ploshchad Vosstaniya, or to the planned Znamenskaya .

• “Uprising Square” appears in the post-apocalyptic novel “ Peter ” by Shimun Wrochek . So, according to him, at the station and its neighboring Mayakovskaya, residents of Moscow and the cities of the southeastern direction were rescued, who were dubbed the "border guards".
