Streshnevo (Russian: Стрешнево) is a station on the Moscow Central Circle of the Moscow Metro that opened in September 2016. The station is in the border of the Sokol and Shchukino districts of Moscow; however the station's name comes from the adjacent Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo District. The original name was slated to be Volokolamskaya; but the city government agreed to change the name prior to the start of service.There is a large gap between the platform and the cars at this station. In 2016, during a test run, one of the trains was scratched by the platform as it passed. Although the ED4 trains will not run on this line, the problem was corrected so that this does not become a problem with future trainsets.

Sokol (settlement, Moscow)
Sokol (settlement, Moscow)

Sokol (Russian: Сокол) also known as "artists' settlement" (Russian: посёлок художников)) is the first cooperative residential settlement in Moscow, founded in 1923. It is located in the Northern Administrative Okrug, not far from the later built Sokol metro station. The settlement "Sokol" became one of the embodiments of the garden city concept. Since 1979, the settlement has been under state protection as a monument to urban development of the first years of Soviet power. Since 1989, the settlement "Sokol" has been self-governing. The architects of the settlement "Sokol" implemented the concept of the "garden city", which was popular in the early 20th century. The idea of ​​a settlement that would combine the best features of the city and the village was put forward by the British Ebenezer Howard in 1898. As early as 1903, a project appeared to build a similar garden city on Khodynka Field in Moscow. This project was being developed for some time, but the events of 1914-1917 prevented its implementation. The urban development plans of the 1920s - "New Moscow" by Alexey Shchusev and "Greater Moscow" by Sergei Shestako - also widely used the idea of ​​a "garden city". The outskirts and suburbs of Moscow were supposed to be built up with settlements consisting of low-rise buildings, which were to have their own libraries, clubs, sports and children's playgrounds and kindergartens.
