Myakinino (

Strogino

stations. The station opened on 26 December 2009.

It is in

public-private partnership.^[2]

Financing

Financing to build the station came from

Crocus City Mall, Crocus Expo trade center, and the Crocus City Hall entertainment center. Agalarov sought to connect his complex to Moscow via the metro and invested 600 million rubles ($20 million) to construct the station.^[2]

The agreement between Crocus and the city gave ownership of the station lobbies and entryways to Crocus, while the Metro controlled everything below the escalators. This situation ultimately led to a dispute between the parties on how to pay for maintenance and required security upgrades. In 2016, Metro notified the public that it would close the station as a result of the lack of security.[3]

Agalarov stated that he would be willing to hand ownership of the station to the Metro to allow it to make the required upgrades and prevent closure of the station. Crocus is negotiating a deal with the city that would place control of the station under a lease with an unlimited term.^[4]

History

The initial plan for the

Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line

.

At first, plans called for Myakinino to be a shallow single-span station with an island platform near the

Strogino

station (previously the terminus of the line) to Myakinino started in summer 2008.

Name

The station was named after the former village of Myakinino, which is currently inside the administrative territory of Moscow City, inside Kuntsevo District, Western Administrative Okrug.^[5] The name was approved by the government of Moscow based on the recommendation of the city's commission on territorial units, streets and Metro stations.^[6]
