Topic decoration station dedicated to the fight of the Red Guard in Petrograd Soviet power. In the facing of the walls of travel used reddish marble. Figure of floor which has been laid from the light-gray granite slabs with inclusions of small red tiles, imitating bricks. On the central axis of the station suspended seven ring-shaped chandeliers. Inside the rings are tubular-belt construction of copper coinage. The chandeliers are massive and are on the long arm of the pendulum. From this, they often sway over the platform. Butt Station on the architect's plan was to beautify made of polished marble relief, symbolizing the invincibility of the Red Guards. But the idea did not materialize in the end of the platform of the hall is set only the backdrop of polished marble. Coverage of the lower escalator hall decided to form original lighting fixtures located on the corrugated wall of the hall.

In 1992, after renaming the station, the inscription with the title track on the wall was abandoned, only the letters were reversed. The only letters that do not have enough for a new title, began the letter "H" and "O", so they were added to the inscription, and it was used is different from the available typeface. Because of this marked a significant contrast to the new letters from others. Besides the letters which have become displaced, were set unevenly.
