Its space is illuminated by fluorescent lamps peeking out from the niches. Station columns - works of art in the technique of Roman mosaic- abstract panels on which the viewer needs to unravel the elements, one way or another connected with peasant labor.
Peasant Outpost Square
The square that gave the name of the metro station acquired its modern name in the last century - in 1919. Prior to that, it was called the Spasskaya Zastava - because of the close location of the Novospassky Monastery. The word "outpost" was added from the customs post of Kamer-Kollezhsky Val, which also settled in the neighborhood. The power of the Soviets renamed the square in honor of the Soviet peasants.
The peasant outpost, which has an area of about 300 m2, is limited by Vorontsovskaya and Abelmanovskaya streets, 3rd Krutitsky lane and Volgogradsky avenue. It can be accessed directly from Marxistskaya, 1st Dubrovskaya and Stroykovskaya streets.
