Almost every large city has a metro. For today it is one of the most popular modes of transport. Any resident of the megalopolis will confirm to you that sooner or later you want to at least once give up urban traffic jams and remember the romance of the subway. There are well-known metro stations with the most original design of the stations, there is a metro station with an interesting history and even some city legends. And in this article we will look at the deepest metro station on the territory of the former CIS and all over the world.
Where is the deepest metro in Russia?
We will start the survey with the capital of this great power. The deepest metro in Moscow is at Victory Park, near which it is already at eighty-four measures underground. The station is the second deepest in the country. Relatively new, as the beginning of its construction was in 2001, and the work was completed only in 2003. As a design, the themes of the war of 1812, as well as 1941-45 were taken. Surprisingly, according to the forecasts of specialists, this station only today has the title of the deepest, since modern technologies and the need for new stations are likely to start construction and deeper in the future.
The deepest metro in St. Petersburg is really one of the deepest in the world. Almost all the stations there are deep-lying (at least fifty meters). There are also stations of the so-called closed type, which is also called a horizontal elevator. The deepest one today is the Admiralteyskaya station. The bedding is as much as one hundred and two meters. The construction starts in 1992, but only in 2005 the works were completed after a long freeze.
It is also worth noting the station of the Petersburg Metro Polytechnic. Its depth is sixty-five meters. Then follow the stations Sadovaya, Chernyshevskaya and Kirovsky plant. Depth varies within sixty to eighty meters.
The deepest metro in Kiev
The capital of Ukraine also boasts a developed and fairly deep metro. There are three lines in total. The deepest of all station Arsenalnaya.

Among such Khreshchatyk (sixty meters), the University, the Golden Gate, as well as Pecherskaya and Shulyavskaya (ninety meters).
