.

the platform has been narrowed. The composition of the station (architects Nian Aleshina, Yuriy Vdovin and N.G. Smailov) adopted the traditional Ryzanian cloth theme to the wall decoration where the white tiles are destictively articulated at the top with red patterns. Also prominent is the large black level (to keep the proportions) the pillars are faced with grey-indigo marble and the floor is laid with grey and pink granite. Unusually the station has two surface vestibules, each on both sides of the Ryzanskiy avenue (station is perpendicular to the it) as well as access to the Akademika Skryabina street. In the distant future it is likely for this station to separate from the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line and join some other radius which runs along the Ryzanskiy avenue. In March 2002 the station had a modest passenger traffic of 70,410.
