Sokol is a
Moscow Metro station on the
Zamoskvoretskaya Line. The station opened on 11 September 1938. Designed by K. Yakovlev, V. Polikarpova, and V. Andreev, it features a single row of pillars which flare upward into the arched ceiling, separated by circular
coffers. Sokol is finished in a variety of materials, including white and gray Koyelga
marble,
onyx,
granite, and white ceramic
tile. The two entrances to the station are located on both sides of
Leningradsky Prospekt. An additional exit to the underpass is available from the south end of the platform. Another entrance was cut in 2003 from the nearby Metro Market shopping center. It was the northwestern terminus of the line until 1964 when 3 northern stations were opened. Depot of the same name serving entire
Zamoskvoretskaya Line is located near the station.
