Ryazanskiy Prospekt (Russian: Рязанский проспект) is a station on Moscow Metro's Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line. Opened on 31 December 1966 as part of the Zhdanovskiy radius, the station is situated where the line snakes norhtward and instead of following the Volgogradskiy avenue begins to follow the Ryazanskiy avenue which runs several kilometres parallel to it on the north, another avenue and the original road to the city of Ryazan. Like all of the shallow-level stations built at the time, the design is a typical pillar-trispan, however like Volgogradskiy Prospekt the platform has been narrowed. The composition of the station (architects Nian Aleshina, Yuriy Vdovin and N.G. Smailov) adopted the traditional Ryzanian cloth theme to the wall decoration where the white tiles are destictively articulated at the top with red patterns. Also prominent is the large black level (to keep the proportions) the pillars are faced with grey-indigo marble and the floor is laid with grey and pink granite. Unusually the station has two surface vestibules, each on both sides of the Ryzanskiy avenue (station is perpendicular to it) as well as access to the Akademika Skryabina street. In the distant future it is likely for this station to separate from the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line and join some other radius which runs along the Ryzanskiy avenue. In March 2002 the station had a modest passenger traffic of 70,410.
