Panfilovskaya (Russian: Панфиловская) is a station on the Moscow Central Circle of the Moscow Metro. The station opened in November 2016 and was the 31st and final station to open on the line.[1]
The station is named for the street on which it is situated, Ulitsa Panfilova. Ulitsa Panfilova is named for Ivan Panfilov, a Soviet general at the Battle of Moscow in World War II.[2] During construction, the station's name was slated to be Khodynka; however, prior to the line's opening, the city changed the name, citing resident requests.[3]
Panfilovskaya offers out-of-station transfers to Oktyabrskoye Pole on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line, 700 metres (2,300 ft) away.
