Ulitsa Gorchakova (Russian: У́лица Горчако́ва) is a station on the Butovskaya Line of the Moscow Metro system in Moscow, Russia. It was opened on 27 December 2003[1] along with four other stations. The station is located in Yuzhnoye Butovo District, between two other stations of the same line, Bulvar Admirala Ushakova and Buninskaya Alleya. The station, which name literally means Gorchakov Street, was named after the nearby street, and the street was named after the 19th century Russian diplomat Alexander Gorchakov.
