Opening date: 13.03.1938
The station was opened as a part of the second construction stage of Moscow metro.
Station design: three-vaulted pylon-type deep-level station built to the standard design.
Station and west vestibule architect: À.Dushkin
Design engineers: N.Komarov, À.Pirozhkova, Ì.Golovinova
The station got its name after Revolution square.
The pylons of the station hall form 18 (initially 20) arches leading to the platforms. The nieches in the arches contain 76 bronze sculptures made under the guidance of M.Manizer (sculptors: A.Denisov, A.Plikais, L.Zhdanov, G.Vetutnev, I.Ivanov, A.Divin, E.Falko, M.Vladimirskaya, V.Puzyrevsky). It’s a peculiar gallery showing images of Soviet people that represent our country’s glorious past and great future. The station hall is faced with black Davalu marble combined with other types of marble of red, golden, white and grey colours.
The east vestibule of the station was opened on December 21, 1947 (architects Yu.Zenkevich, N.Demchinsky, artist V.Bordichenko). There was originally a bas-relief of Stalin and Constitution (sculptor M.Manizer) at the western end of the station hall, but later it was removed. From this station passengers can transfer to Teatralnaya on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line.
Exit to: Nikolskaya ulitsa, Bogoyavlensky pereulok and Ploshchad Revolutsii.
