The construction of the Metro station at Komsomolskaya began on May 1933, and opened the same month
two years later in 1935. The station was built with an unusual upper gallery
above the platform on the Sokolnicheskaya Line (line № 1) to help the rush of
people. One of the architect of the project wrote that the station has been
thought as one of the busiest one in Moscow and the gate of the city for many
visitors, so it needed to be designed as to give the best first impression of
the capital as possible.
