Kalininskaya Line

The Kalininskaya Line is a line of the Moscow Metro. Today it is the only line to be named after a figurehead instead of the area that it serves. It was opened as the eastwards Perovo radius lines in 1979 and it began extending towards the centre since.

Rolling Stock

The line is served by the Novogireevo depot (№ 12). 25 81-717/714 seven-carriage trains are assigned to it since the line was opened in 1979.

Recent developments and Future plans

The line currently exists as a single radius, but for a long time an extension through the city centre and then on westwards has been planned.

City Centre

The current plan is to extend from Tretyakovskaya to Moscow-City business district. According to most recent pronouncement of the city government (June 24, 2008), [Decree of Moscow city government 564-ПП, June 24, 2008 [http://mos.ru/wps/portal/!ut/p/c1/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os3izECfXQHMPIwODQFMTAyMXFwNnFydvYwNnc6B8pFm8n79RqJuJp6GhhZmroYGRmYeJk0-Yp4G7izExug1wAEcDArrDQa7FbztIHo_5fh75uan6kfpR5jjtMTbSj8xJTU9MrtQvyA2NMMgyCQUAdjFFKg!!/dl2/d1/L3dJVkkvd0xNQUJrQUVrQSEhL1lCcHhKRjFOQUEhIS82XzZUQkVRN0gyMDBRNTQwMkREMENEQkszMEs3LzdfNlRCRVE3SDIwMFE1NDAyREQwQ0RCSzMwVDM!?nID=6_6TBEQ7H200Q5402DD0CDBK30C7&cID=6_6TBEQ7H200Q5402DD0CDBK30C7&documentId=111667#7_6TBEQ7H200Q5402DD0CDBK30T3] ] the stations names are set (east to west) as:
* Kadashovskaya near the eponymous embankment in Yakimanka District
* Volkhonka
* Plyushchikha
* Konyushkovskaya near the White House of Russia
* Tryokhgorka near Moscow Expocenter
* Delovoy Tsentr (new) with a transfer to Mezhdunarodnaya

The decree does not mention previously planned transfers to existing Kropotkinskaya station of the Sokolnicheskaya Line, Smolenskaya station of the Filyovskaya Line, Smolenskaya station of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line or the yet nonexistent station of the Ring called Rossiyskaya. However, the decree concerns only naming of the stations and does not constitute a real construction plan.

troginsky radius

After its pass through the Moscow's centre, the line will continue into the Moscow-business centre with a station Delovoi Tsentr as a future transfer with the Filyovskaya Line's mini-metro and the prospective Solntsevo-Mytishchinskaya chordial line. The line will continue with the stations Filyovskaya Poima, Filyovsky Bulvar, Narodnoe Opolchenie and Zhivopisnaya before docking with the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line at Strogino. After that the line will annex the stations that would be opened as part of the latter line in 2011: Myakinino, Volokolamskaya and Mitino. The line would be renamed properly after that point - Perovsko-Stroginskaya.

Perovsky radius

As the radius is completed, apart from a few exits to the surface at Aviamotornaya, the only extension that will take place is to Novokosino (alternative name Gorodetskaya) in 2010.
