History
The stations “Kitay-Gorod-3” (originally “Ilinsky Gates”) and the next “ Pokrovsky Gate ” (also unfulfilled) were envisaged on the route between the stations “ Ploshchad Revolutsii ” and “ Kurskaya ” by the initial design of the line [1] , but in the accepted The general plan of Moscow in 1935 was not among the objects of the near term in order to save and speed up construction.
For 2018, there is no reliable official information about the possibilities of building the station, the latter mentioning the station as acceptable was made by the Department of Transport and Communications of Moscow in 2008.
Location and Transplants
The station was located under the street Maroseyka at its beginning. From the station, transfers were planned at the station “ Kitay-Gorod ” (at that time, “Nogin Square”) of the Kaluga-Riga and Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya lines.
Title
The name "Khmelnitsky" is billet and still remains unchanged due to the invalidity of the issue of its construction. It was chosen back in the Soviet time by the previous name of Maroseika street, which until 1990 was called Bohdan Khmelnytsky street.
In the case of construction, now the possible names of the station will be "Maroseyka", "Ilinsky Gate", "China Town".
History of Constructions
Unlike more modern projects, the groundwork for the station as such does not exist - the tunnels on the east side of the “Revolution Square” are straightened, but are located at a distance of less than 20 meters from each other. The original idea, presented at the end of the 1970s (at the time of the construction of the Tverskoy on an existing span), provided for the restructuring of the tunnels and their removal from each other to arrange the central hall. According to other sources, the station should have become the only “ horizontal lift ” in Moscow due to the increasing complexity of the hydrogeological situation and possible distortions of the overlying soils during restructuring. The transfer devices to the China Town station were thought of with short corridors and escalators [2] .
The idea developed by Metrostroi in 2005 envisaged a station with side platforms, like Myakinino . In the implementation of such an idea would not have to change the distance between the tunnels; the construction of the station would take from three to five years with a six-month cessation of traffic on the stretch, which would affect the maintenance of passenger traffic of one of the central sections of the metro.
It is possible to build temporary detours near the site of the proposed construction of the station.
As the Department of Transport and Communications of Moscow announced on March 19, 2008, “implementation of such a project before 2020 is not expected” [3] .
In art
The station called “Maroseyka” was present in Vladimir Vasilyev ’s fantastic story “The Modest Subway Genius”, published in the collection “Myths of Megapolis”.
