Several stations on the Moscow metro will be closed for repairs over the May holidays, the subway authorities said in a statement.
May 2: The Lermontovsky Prospekt and Zhulenbino stations — the last two stations on the south end of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line (Purple Line) — will be closed. Trains will run only between the Planernaya and Vykhino stations.
May 2, 3, 4: The Prospekt Vernadskogo, Yugo-Zapadnaya and Troparyovo stations — the last three stations on the city's Sokolnicheskaya Line (Red Line) — will be closed. Trains will run only between the Bulvar Rokossovskogo and Universitet stations.
In both cases, free buses labeled “M” will run between the stations.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
