Vladykino (ru|Владыкино) is a station on the Serpukhovsko–Timiryazevskaya line of the Moscow Metro. The station provides transfer to Vladykino station on the Moscow Central Circle. The Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line is 25.6 miles long and has 25 stations. Running north to south, it is the longest continuous underground line in the Moscow Metro, and the 8th longest in the world.
With the entire line being completely underground, it is quite densely populated, with no fewer than 9 different factions inhabiting it (a number only rivaled by the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line).
The station was opened on March 7, 1991 as part of the section "Savelovskaya" - "Otradnoe", after the commissioning of which there were 148 stations in the Moscow Metro.[1]
The track walls are lined with brown corrugated sheet, which makes the station look dark and gloomy. There are several breaks with dark marble inserts decorated with medallions depicting architectural structures of various religions (author A. M. Mosiychuk).
White marble is used in the decoration of the columns. The floor is lined with dark granite.
The design of the station's track hall is partly similar to the design of the Shchukinskaya station hall.
Exit to the city on both sides of the railway tracks through glazed lobbies in the form of a rotunda to Susokolovskoye highway and Signalny proezd. Near the station there is the central entrance to the Moscow Botanical Garden of Academy of Sciences and the Voskhod Hotel.
Free transfer between the metro station and the MCC station of the same name is possible.[2]
