abandoned / shut down, interesting place
Constructed in late 1930s, before WWII. Arguably, the part of so-called "Stalin's metro" (underground railroad) project. The caisson form allowed for further deepening under the ground and further horizontal move. The fragment of the tunnel planned to be built under the Dnieper.
