Izmaylovskaya (Russian: Измайловская) is a Moscow Metro station on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line. Along with Vykhino, it is one of only two grade-level stations not in the Filyovskaya Line. Moscow's harsh winters make above-ground stations impractical, but the design nonetheless enjoyed brief popularity between 1958 and 1966 because of the low construction costs. Izmaylovskaya was built in 1961 to replace the old Pervomayskaya station, which had been in use since 1944. The design of the station features an elevated vestibule, reached from the street via two flights of steps, which sits on top of the ground-level platform. The platform is relatively spartan, with a canopy providing some protection from the elements and pillars faced with white marble. The architect was I.G. Taranov. The station has a direct entrance to the magnificent Izmaylovsky Park nearby.
