Alma-Atinskaya, Metro station in Brateyevo District, Moscow, Russia
Alma-Atinskaya is a metro station in the southern part of Moscow, in the Brateyevo District, and serves as the southern terminus of the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. It has a single center platform serving two tracks, sitting about 33 feet (10 meters) underground.
The station was originally planned under the name Brateyevo, but received its current name through a Moscow city government decision in 2011. It opened to the public in December 2012 as part of the metro network's expansion southward.
The station's name honors Almaty, the former capital of Kazakhstan, creating a symbolic link between the two cities. Inside, the decoration reflects this theme with motifs that recall Kazakh visual culture.
The station is reachable by several bus routes stopping near Brateyevskaya and Paromnaya streets. Since it is a terminus, checking departure times in advance is a good idea, especially outside peak hours.
A metro station in Almaty, Kazakhstan, bears the same name, creating a rare cross-border pair of stations sharing an identical name. This connection makes both stations an unusual example of transnational rail symbolism.
