Voykovskaya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Voikovskaya (Russian: Войковская) is a station near the northern end of the Zamoskvoretskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. It opened in 1964 along with its two neighbors to the north, Vodny Stadion and Rechnoi Vokzal. All were built according to the same standardized pillar-trispan design (also know as Sorokonozhka), which was widely used in the 1960s as a cost-saving measure. Voikovskaya's architects were I.G. Petukhova and A.F. Fokina. The entrance to the station is located on the Leningrad Highway.
The station is named after Bolshevik Peter Voikov.
