Chernyshevskaya station. Metro Chernyshevskaya. The deepest station. Historical St. Petersburg, metro station "Chernyshevskaya"

"Chernyshevskaya" is a station of the St. Petersburg metro. Located on the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya line, between the Ploshchad Vosstaniya and Ploshchad Lenina stations.

The station was opened on June 1, 1958 as part of the second stage of the Ploshchad Vosstaniya - Ploshchad Lenin metro. The name is due to the proximity of Chernyshevsky Avenue. In the project, the station was called “Kirochnaya”. The theme of the station design competition was the activities of Russian revolutionary democrats. The design competition coincided with the publication of the decree “On the elimination of excesses in design and construction” dated November 4, 1955, which led to a striking difference between the design of the stations of the first and second stages of the Leningrad Metro.

Opening date: June 1, 1958
Project name: “Kirochnaya”
Type: pylon, with a short central hall
Laying depth: m ~ 70
Architects: A. V. Zhuk, S. G. Mayofis
Lobby architects: A. S. Getskin, V. P. Shuvalova
Access to the streets: Chernyshevsky Avenue
Operating cellular operators at the Chernyshevskaya metro station: MegaFon, MTS, BeeLine, Tele2
Station code: CHN

The ground pavilion of the Chernyshevskaya station was designed by architects A. S. Getskin, V. P. Shuvalova in the form of a high pentagon with a large stained glass window on the main facade.

It is located on Chernyshevsky Avenue between Furshtatskaya and Kirochnaya streets. On the site of the vestibule there was the Nikolaev Guards Almshouse, built according to the design of the architect N.A. Arkhangelsky and the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian of the Life Guards Sapper Battalion.

The lobby of the Chernyshevskaya station is decorated with a relief with a portrait of N. G. Chernyshevsky.

The inclined passage (exit from the station), containing 3 escalators, is located at the northern end of the station. At Chernyshevskaya, as well as at Lenin Square, the same escalators are installed, and at the time of installation, the highest escalators in the world (lifting height 65.8 meters, length of the inclined part 131.6 meters, 755 steps, each handrail is a loop 290 meters long). meters).

St.m. “Chernyshevskaya” is a pylon station with a shortened central nave (hall) of deep foundation (depth ~ 70 m). Initially, a closed-type station project was planned. It is one of the deepest in the St. Petersburg metro and in the world.

The central hall of the station is located at the northern end of the platforms (closer to the Ploshchad Lenina metro station).

The underground hall of “Chernyshevskaya” was built according to the design of architects A. V. Zhuk and S. G. Mayofis.

The station was built during the period of struggle against architectural excesses and therefore is an interesting monument to the transition from the Stalinist Empire style to the economical and faceless Khrushchev architecture.

For example, in finishing you can simultaneously find such incompatible materials as marble and tiles. The entire underground station uses eaves lighting; this was the first station where the designers completely abandoned chandeliers and lamps. The main decoration of the station is the silver ventilation grilles on the pylons and gray marble. After replacing the floor, black and white tiles were laid in a checkerboard pattern in the central hall. On station platforms it looks like a white comb with its teeth facing the wall.

On the track walls of the platform hall of the Chernyshevskaya metro station there are tiles of two colors: black below, white above, and cornices made of the same gray marble are also used. Decorative grilles of the original design are installed on the walls.

In 2003–2004, the tiles were completely replaced with a new layer, giving the station a cleaner appearance.

Interesting facts about the Chernyshevsky metro station:

  • The section to the Lenin Square station was the first to pass under the Neva. Not a single device can give an absolute guarantee that there is no depression in this section of the river bottom. For this reason, for safety reasons, all underwater routes of the St. Petersburg metro are passed through the caisson method.
  • The first station of the St. Petersburg metro, the gratings on the track walls of which were made non-standard.

Received its first passengers in the fall of 1958. It opened on the stretch between the Ploshchad Vosstaniya stations and on the section of the first line of the Leningrad metro that was already in operation at that time. The stretch on which the Chernyshevskaya metro station is located has gone down in the history of domestic metro construction as one of the most complex and deep sections. The difficulties that the metro builders had to overcome here were unprecedented. And engineering and construction experience subsequently turned out to be invaluable for the implementation of other projects.

Metro "Chernyshevskaya" on the city map

The main difficulty in building a stretch in the direction of the right bank part of the city was the need to overcome a water obstacle. The tunnel under the Neva was built using a caisson method, this ensured the safety of the work and the reliability of the engineering structures being built. The commissioning of the Chernyshevskaya metro station began only after the main engineering task had been solved - the stable functioning of the entire section passing under the Neva was ensured. All subsequent tunnels of the Leningrad metro, passing under the river bottom, were built using similar technology. Structurally, the Chernyshevskaya metro station is a deep, three-vaulted pylon structure. Until December 2011, when the Admiralteyskaya station on the Frunzensko-Primorskaya line was put into operation, it remained the deepest station in the city. The central hall of Chernyshevskaya is shortened along the center line compared to the standard length. The architectural appearance of the station is distinguished by strict lines and laconic forms.

This is due to the fact that it was erected during a period known in Soviet history and culture as the “Fight against architectural excesses.” The decorative decoration of the interiors is dominated by marble and granite in light gray and dark tones. The thematic concept of the station's design is the revolutionary struggle of Russian democrats of the nineteenth century. Accordingly, the name is given by the nearby Chernyshevsky Avenue. But the thematic content was reduced to a minimum by the ongoing struggle against excesses. Its traces can only be seen in the ornaments of the decorative ventilation grilles and in the lobby, decorated with a relief portrait of Chernyshevsky.

Historical St. Petersburg, metro station "Chernyshevskaya"

It would not be a great exaggeration to say that “Chernyshevskaya” has long become one of the city’s unique attractions. This is due to its favorable location among the characteristic St. Petersburg historical quarters. They haven't changed much since the nineteenth century. Native St. Petersburg residents and guests of the northern capital are very fond of this area, where cafes, restaurants, cinemas and other cultural and leisure establishments are located in abundance. And the way here traditionally lies through the lobby of the Chernyshevskaya metro station.

"Chernyshevskaya"- station of the St. Petersburg metro. Part of the Kirov-Vyborg line, located between the stations “Ploshchad Vosstaniya” and “Ploshchad Lenina”.

The underground hall was built according to the design of architects A. V. Zhuk and S. G. Mayofis.

The station was built during the period of struggle against architectural excesses and therefore is an interesting monument to the transition from Stalinist Empire style to economical and functional Khrushchev architecture.

The entire underground station uses eaves lighting. This was the first station at which the designers completely abandoned chandeliers and lamps. The track walls are tiled. The only decorations of the station are the silver ventilation grilles on the pylons and gray marble. After replacing the floor, black and white tiles were laid in a checkerboard pattern in the central hall. On station platforms it looks like a white comb with its teeth facing the wall.

Platform halls

On the track walls platform halls tiles in two colors: bottom - black, top - white, cornices made of gray marble are also used. Decorative grilles are installed on the doors of the track walls.

In 2003-2004, the tiles on the track walls were completely replaced, giving the station a neater appearance.

  • Excerpt characterizing Chernyshevskaya (metro station)

    Despite the excitement in which she was, despite the desire to see her brother as quickly as possible and the annoyance that at this moment, when she only wanted to see him, she was being occupied and feignedly praising her nephew, the princess noticed everything that was happening around her, and felt the need to temporarily submit to this new order into which she was entering. She knew that all this was necessary, and it was difficult for her, but she was not annoyed with them.
    “This is my niece,” said the count, introducing Sonya. “You don’t know her, princess?”
    The princess turned to her and, trying to extinguish the hostile feeling towards this girl that had risen in her soul, kissed her. But it became difficult for her because the mood of everyone around her was so far from what was in her soul.
    - Where is he? – she asked again, addressing everyone.
    “He’s downstairs, Natasha is with him,” Sonya answered, blushing. - Let's go find out. I think you are tired, princess?
    Tears of annoyance came to the princess's eyes. She turned away and was about to ask the countess again where to go to see him, when light, swift, seemingly cheerful steps were heard at the door. The princess looked around and saw Natasha almost running in, the same Natasha who she had not liked so much on that long-ago meeting in Moscow.
    But before the princess had time to look at this Natasha’s face, she realized that this was her sincere companion in grief, and therefore her friend. She rushed to meet her and, hugging her, cried on her shoulder.
    As soon as Natasha, who was sitting at Prince Andrey’s bedside, found out about Princess Marya’s arrival, she quietly left his room with those quick, as it seemed to Princess Marya, seemingly cheerful steps and ran towards her.
    On her excited face, when she ran into the room, there was only one expression - an expression of love, boundless love for him, for her, for everything that was close to her loved one, an expression of pity, suffering for others and a passionate desire to give herself all for in order to help them. It was clear that at that moment there was not a single thought about herself, about her relationship to him, in Natasha’s soul.
    The sensitive Princess Marya understood all this from the first glance at Natasha’s face and cried with sorrowful pleasure on her shoulder.
    “Come on, let’s go to him, Marie,” Natasha said, taking her to another room.
    Princess Marya raised her face, wiped her eyes and turned to Natasha. She felt that she would understand and learn everything from her.
    “What...” she began to ask, but suddenly stopped. She felt that words could neither ask nor answer. Natasha's face and eyes should have spoken more and more clearly.
    Natasha looked at her, but seemed to be in fear and doubt - to say or not to say everything that she knew; She seemed to feel that before those radiant eyes, penetrating into the very depths of her heart, it was impossible not to tell the whole, the whole truth as she saw it. Natasha's lip suddenly trembled, ugly wrinkles formed around her mouth, and she sobbed and covered her face with her hands.
    Princess Marya understood everything.
    But she still hoped and asked in words she didn’t believe in:
    - But how is his wound? In general, what is his position?
    “You, you... will see,” Natasha could only say.
    They sat downstairs near his room for some time in order to stop crying and come to him with calm faces.
    How did the whole illness go? How long ago has he gotten worse? When did it happen? - asked Princess Marya.
    Natasha said that at first there was a danger from a fever and from suffering, but at Trinity this passed, and the doctor was afraid of one thing - Antonov’s fire. But this danger also passed. When we arrived in Yaroslavl, the wound began to fester (Natasha knew everything about suppuration, etc.), and the doctor said that suppuration could proceed properly. There was a fever. The doctor said that this fever is not so dangerous.
    “But two days ago,” Natasha began, “suddenly it happened...” She held back her sobs. “I don’t know why, but you will see what he has become.”
    - Are you weak? Have you lost weight?.. - asked the princess.
    - No, not that, but worse. You will see. Oh, Marie, Marie, he's too good, he can't, can't live... because...

    When Natasha opened his door with her usual movement, letting the princess pass first, Princess Marya already felt ready sobs in her throat. No matter how much she prepared or tried to calm down, she knew that she would not be able to see him without tears.
    Princess Marya understood what Natasha meant with the words: this happened two days ago. She understood that this meant that he had suddenly softened, and that this softening and tenderness were signs of death. As she approached the door, she already saw in her imagination that face of Andryusha, which she had known since childhood, tender, meek, touching, which he so rarely saw and therefore always had such a strong effect on her. She knew that he would say quiet, tender words to her, like those her father had told her before his death, and that she would not bear it and would burst into tears over him. But, sooner or later, it had to be, and she entered the room. The sobs came closer and closer to her throat, while with her myopic eyes she discerned his form more and more clearly and looked for his features, and then she saw his face and met his gaze.
    He was lying on the sofa, covered with pillows, wearing a squirrel fur robe. He was thin and pale. One thin, transparent white hand held a handkerchief; with the other, with quiet movements of his fingers, he touched his thin, overgrown mustache. His eyes looked at those entering.
    Seeing his face and meeting his gaze, Princess Marya suddenly moderated the speed of her step and felt that her tears had suddenly dried up and her sobs had stopped. Catching the expression on his face and gaze, she suddenly became shy and felt guilty.
    “What is my fault?” – she asked herself. “The fact that you live and think about living things, and I!..” answered his cold, stern gaze.
    There was almost hostility in his deep, out-of-control, but inward-looking gaze as he slowly looked around at his sister and Natasha.
    He kissed his sister hand in hand, as was their habit.
    - Hello, Marie, how did you get there? - he said in a voice as even and alien as his gaze. If he had screamed with a desperate cry, then this cry would have terrified Princess Marya less than the sound of this voice.
    – And did you bring Nikolushka? – he said also evenly and slowly and with an obvious effort of recollection.
    – How is your health now? - said Princess Marya, herself surprised at what she was saying.
    “This, my friend, is something you need to ask the doctor,” he said, and, apparently making another effort to be affectionate, he said with just his mouth (it was clear that he did not mean what he was saying): “Merci, chere amie.” , d'etre venue. [Thank you, dear friend, for coming.]
    Princess Marya shook his hand. He winced slightly when she shook her hand. He was silent and she didn't know what to say. She understood what happened to him in two days. In his words, in his tone, especially in this look - a cold, almost hostile look - one could feel the alienation from everything worldly, terrible for a living person. He apparently now had difficulty understanding all living things; but at the same time it was felt that he did not understand the living, not because he was deprived of the power of understanding, but because he understood something else, something that the living did not and could not understand and that absorbed him completely.
    - Yes, that’s how strange fate brought us together! – he said, breaking the silence and pointing at Natasha. - She keeps following me.
    Princess Marya listened and did not understand what he was saying. He, the sensitive, gentle Prince Andrei, how could he say this in front of the one he loved and who loved him! If he had thought about living, he would not have said this in such a coldly insulting tone. If he didn’t know that he would die, then how could he not feel sorry for her, how could he say this in front of her! There was only one explanation for this, and that was that he didn’t care, and it didn’t matter because something else, something more important, was revealed to him.
    The conversation was cold, incoherent and interrupted constantly.
    “Marie passed through Ryazan,” said Natasha. Prince Andrei did not notice that she called his sister Marie. And Natasha, calling her that in front of him, noticed it herself for the first time.
    - Well then? - he said.
    “They told her that Moscow was completely burned down, as if...
    Natasha stopped: she couldn’t speak. He obviously made an effort to listen, but still could not.
    “Yes, it burned down, they say,” he said. “This is very pathetic,” and he began to look forward, absentmindedly straightening his mustache with his fingers.
    – Have you met Count Nikolai, Marie? - Prince Andrei suddenly said, apparently wanting to please them. “He wrote here that he really liked you,” he continued simply, calmly, apparently unable to understand all the complex meaning that his words had for living people. “If you fell in love with him too, it would be very good... for you to get married,” he added somewhat more quickly, as if delighted by the words that he had been looking for for a long time and finally found. Princess Marya heard his words, but they had no other meaning for her, except that they proved how terribly far he was now from all living things.
    - What to say about me! – she said calmly and looked at Natasha. Natasha, feeling her gaze on her, did not look at her. Again everyone was silent.
    “Andre, do you want...” Princess Marya suddenly said in a shuddering voice, “do you want to see Nikolushka?” He thought about you all the time.
    Prince Andrei smiled faintly for the first time, but Princess Marya, who knew his face so well, realized with horror that it was not a smile of joy, not tenderness for her son, but of quiet, gentle mockery of what Princess Marya used, in her opinion. , the last resort to bring him to his senses.
