Pervomayskaya (Moscow Metro)
For the closed station, see Pervomayskaya (closed).
Pervomayskaya (Russian: Первомайская) is a Moscow Metro station in the Izmaylovo District, Eastern Administrative Okrug, Moscow. It is on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line, between Izmaylovskaya and Shchyolkovskaya stations.
Before the current station opened on 21 October 1961, Pervomayskaya referred to the temporary station located in the Izmaylovo depot near the present-day Izmaylovskaya.
The station was the first to be built to the standard column tri-span design which would from then become the most widespread in Moscow Metro and in other ex-USSR cities, with slightly flared red marble pillars and tiled walls. The architects were M. F. Markovsky and Ya. V. Tatarzhinskaya.
