The photo from 1949 shows the “Kurskaya” (ring). Cladding work begins at the station. Very soon the columns will be dressed in white marble, as in the photo taken 60 years later.

"Kurskaya" (ring) opened on January 1, 1950 as part of "Kurskaya" - "Park Kultury". It received its name in honor of the nearby Kursky railway station. 

From the station you can go to the “Kurskaya” Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line and the “Chkalovskaya” Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line.
