Novye Cheryomushki, Moscow Metro station
Novye Cheryomushki is an underground metro station on the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line, located in the Cheryomushki District in southwest Moscow. The station has a single island platform flanked by two rows of columns clad in yellow marble, with walls covered in orange and brown ceramic tiles.
The station opened in 1962, when Moscow was expanding rapidly and new housing districts were being built across the southwest of the city. It served as the southern end of the line until 1974, when the network was extended further south.
The name comes from the Novye Cheryomushki residential district, one of the first large prefabricated housing areas built in Moscow during the 1950s. The yellow marble columns and the orange-brown tiled walls give the platform a warm, earthy look that feels different from newer stations on the line.
The station is only accessible through underground entrances from Profsoiuznaya, Garibaldi, and Akademika Polyakova streets, so there is no surface building to look for above ground. Several bus lines stop nearby, making it straightforward to reach surrounding neighborhoods on foot or by connecting transport.
Just beside the station lies the Kaluga depot, where trains for the entire line are serviced and maintained. The facility is out of sight from the platform, yet every train that passes through the station will have been through that depot at some point.
