Dostoevskaya (

The station has two exits. One is near the building of the Russian Army Theatre, the other leads to Suvorovskaya Square.

Construction

The construction of the station started in the 1990s although construction was shelved for several years insufficient funding. The construction process resumed only in 2007 when funds were allocated and both the right and left rail tunnels were built. The construction of the platform began afterwards. In April 2009, the lack of funds forced the Moscow Metro authorities to delay the station's opening to May 2010. Several days before the supposed opening date, it was delayed again to June for adjustments to the escalators.^[1]

Interchange

The Metro planned to build

Published photos of station's decor elements caused disputes within the Russian Internet community. There are two scenes of violence (homicide and suicide) depicted on the station walls as an illustration of Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, along with many other scenes (including illustrations of The Idiot).^[3][4]
