The city of St. Petersburg on Friday opened<\/a> two metro stations that form the initial segment of a new metro line.<\/p>\n

The Yugo-Zapadnaya and Putilovskaya stations are the first along the Krasnoselsk-Kalininskaya Line, shown in brown on the city\u2019s metro map. The two stations currently serve as the line\u2019s start and end points in southwestern St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cYugo-Zapadnaya is a long-awaited station. It serves an area where almost 500,000 people live,\u201d St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov said at the opening ceremony. \u201cConnecting this district to the city center is extremely important. Putilovskaya is also a key station for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Putilovskaya offers a transfer to the Kirovsky Zavod station on the red line. Construction is underway to extend the new line beyond Putilovskaya, bringing it further northeast to link up with Obovody Kanal, a station along the purple line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Work on the Krasnoselsk-Kalininskaya Line began in 2015 and is expected to continue through the end of the decade, with officials planning to complete the full line by 2030.<\/p>\n

The opening follows the launch of the Gorny Institut<\/a> station in December 2024, the first metro station to open in St. Petersburg since 2019.<\/p>\n

St. Petersburg\u2019s metro currently consists of six lines and 75 stations. Expansion has progressed slowly in recent years, in contrast to Moscow\u2019s rapidly expanding metro system.<\/p>\n

A Message from The Moscow Times:<\/p>\n

Dear readers,<\/p>\n

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has designated The Moscow Times as an “undesirable” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a “foreign agent.”<\/p>\n

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work “discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership.” We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.<\/p>\n

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It’s quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.<\/p>\n

By supporting The Moscow Times, you’re defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.<\/p>\n
