Interesting Facts
A very strange manuscript is on the wall of station. It is situated near the first car stop towards the Shcholkovskaya station just under the last ventilation lattice. The inscription is deeply carved in marble on about 120 cm above the flour, about 8 cm in length and 1,5 cm in height. It consists of two dates, divided by hyphen. They are written just like that: 19 14/XI 46 - 19 15/XII 54 (14 November 1946 - 15 December 1954). That way of writing is very similar to the way dates are written on gravestones. The origin of that artefact is unknown. For further information see here (Russian).
