History

Chronology

In addition, the line itself was renamed, and that on November 5, 1990 by " Kirovsko - Frunzenskaya - line " in today's " Sokolnicheskaya line."

Expansion plans

Medium to long term the line should be extended in both directions. To the south east an extension to the district Troparjowo is provided, but this is to prevent an overload of the line, only realized when a well planned new light metro line is completed by Solnzewo. In the ( north- ) easterly direction is a long-term extension to the station Schtscholkowskaja with connection to the Arbatsko - Pokrowskaja line possible.

Others

The lying on the Sokolnicheskaya Biblioteka imeni Lenina station line ( to German: Lenin Library ) is part of the only four - Umsteigeknotens in the Moscow Metro. The further to the southwest lies Vorobyovy Gory station is the only station of the Moscow Metro, which on a bridge directly - here on the Moskva River - lies. Up to this station as well as a small section between the stations Preobraschenskaja Ploshchad Sokolniki and the line is continuous underground.

Interesting is also the Metro Museum in the station Sportivnaya. However, it is difficult to find a small door right next to the exit leads to a staircase, one reaches about the museum on the third floor.
