Novocherkasskaya (Russian: Новочерка́сская) is a station on the Line 4 of Saint Petersburg Metro, opened on December 30, 1985. The station was planned to be named Zanevskaya, but it was ultimately called Krasnogvardeyskaya until 1992; the station's name was changed after its namesake, the Krasnogvardeysky Avenue, was renamed to Novocherkassky. The station is unique as it does not have its own building above ground; one must enter through an underground pedestrian crossing.

Station Design

The station's vestibule design is dedicated to the Red Army and its fight for power in the Russian Revolution; the escalators feature a mosaic at the bottom portal, the walls are also lined with red marble.
