Potapovo (Russian: Потапово) is a planned station on the Sokolnicheskaya line of the Moscow Metro, in the Sosenskoye Settlement of the Novomoskovsky Administrative Okrug. The station is being constructed one stop past Kommunarka, the current southwestern terminus of the Sokolnicheskaya line. It is planned to be the new southwestern terminus of the line.Potapovo is designed as a heated ground station, and is scheduled to be the first such station in the Moscow Metro. Its design calls for double-glazed windows and extra insulation to help keep the station warm. The station is being built in the middle of the Solntsevo–Butovo–Varshavskoye Highway. Pedestrian overpasses are planned to allow passengers to exit the station on either side of the highway.Potapovo's design is said to look like a spaceship. The design of the station's platform and exterior incorporates plastic forms. A sculpture by artist Dashi Namdakov is planned to be featured in the station.The construction is being managed by Mosinzhproekt. The station first appeared in plans for the Moscow Metro in 2018. Initially scheduled to open in 2020, Potapovo is now scheduled to open in 2024. By the end of 2022, it was estimated to be about 60 percent complete. The station is one of twenty Moscow Metro stations planned to be opened in New Moscow by 2032.

Foreign Intelligence Service (Russia)

The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (Russian: Служба внешней разведки Российской Федерации, tr. Sluzhba vneshney razvedki Rossiyskoy Federatsii, IPA: [ˈsluʐbə ˈvnʲɛʂnʲɪj rɐˈzvʲɛtkʲɪ]) or SVR RF (Russian: СВР РФ) is Russia's external intelligence agency, focusing mainly on civilian affairs. The SVR RF succeeded the First Chief Directorate (PGU) of the KGB in December 1991. The SVR has its headquarters in the Yasenevo District of Moscow. Unlike the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the SVR is tasked with intelligence and espionage activities outside the Russian Federation. It works together with the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (Russian: Главное разведывательное управление, tr. Glavnoye razvedyvatel'noye upravleniye, IPA: [ˈglavnəjə rɐzˈvʲɛdɨvətʲɪlʲnəjə ʊprɐˈvlʲenʲɪjə], GRU), its military-joint affairs espionage counterpart, which reportedly deployed six times as many spies in foreign countries as the SVR in 1997. The SVR is also authorized to negotiate anti-terrorist cooperation and intelligence-sharing arrangements with foreign intelligence agencies, and provides analysis and dissemination of intelligence to the Russian president.Any information pertaining to specific identities of staff employees (officers) of the SVR is legally classified as a state secret; since September 2018, the same applies to non-staff personnel, i.e. informers and recruited agents.
