Kievskaya Station, Moscow Metro
Kiyevskaya, named for the nearby Kiyevsky railway station, is a station on the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line of the Moscow Metro.
Opened in 1953, it is lavishly decorated in the quasi-baroque style that predominated in the early 1950s. The square pylons are faced with white Ural marble and elaborately patterned ceramic tile and the plastered ceiling is decorated with a series of 24 frescoes by various artists depicting life in Ukraine.
The design is dedicated to Soviet Ukraine.
