The Koltsevaya Line (Russian: Кольцева́я ли́ния, Circle Line, ), (Line 5), is a railway line of the Moscow Metro. The line was built in 1950-1954 as a circle route orbiting central Moscow, and became crucial to the transfer patterns of passengers.
Of all the lines, the Circle Line remains the most famous, mostly due to its notable stations built at the height of Stalinist Architecture. Each of the twelve stand out in their own right, but some, like Komsomolskaya, Novoslobodskaya and Kievskaya represent the whole system.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
