The opening of the station on the Circle Line took place in 1954. It was part of the section "Belorusskaya" - "Park Kultury" and was the last one in the ring. The first section of the branch began to function in 1950. The authors of the typical subway project are architects V. S. Egerev, F. A. Novikov, I. A. Pokrovsky and M. P. Konstantinov.
Karo Alabyan and T. A. Ilyina, together with V. I. Aleshina and T. D. Zebrikova, worked on the ground lobby project.
The metro station got its name in honor of the street. Krasnaya Presnya. During its existence, Krasnopresnenskaya has never been renamed. At the end of 1972, a transition to the Barrikadnaya metro stop was opened at the station. Before the crossing was opened, there were sculptures of Lenin and Stalin here. All stations on the Koltsevaya line, built in Stalin's times, were decorated in a specific theme related toto the life of the Soviet people. For example, "Serpukhovskaya" was dedicated to the greatness of Russian architecture, and "Belorusskaya" - to the people of the Belarusian Republic, as well as "Krasnopresnenskaya" - to the revolutions of 1905-1917.

It should be noted that such lines resembling a ring do not exist in any subway of the former Soviet Union. Once again, Moscow surprises us. The Krasnopresnenskaya metro station is another confirmation of this. Why? The fact is that today it connects almost all metro lines of the capital (with the exception of Butovskaya and Kakhovskaya) and many railway stations.
Marble, which is almost 300 million years old, was used to decorate the columns of the station. In it you can see the fossilized traces of the most ancient organisms that lived on earth in the distant past.
Near the entrance to the metro is the world-famous Moscow Zoo. The subway opens from 5.35 am and runs until 1 am.
