Kremlin's filling station at Volkhonka St., Art Deco filling station in Khamovniki District, Moscow, Russia

The Kremlin filling station features two mushroom-shaped canopies over fuel dispensers and a central cashier pavilion made of concrete and metal.

Built in the 1930s as part of the Palace of Soviets complex, this filling station remained after the cancellation of the larger construction project.

Architect Alexey Dushkin designed this American-style service station to reflect the modernization of Soviet infrastructure through Art Deco architecture.

This government-only facility operates with a voucher system and remains the single operational fuel station within Moscow's Boulevard Ring.

The station maintains its original exterior elements from the 1930s, including the roof and columns, with only the fuel dispensers receiving updates.
