Shabolovka Telecenter (Russian: Шаболовский телецентр) is a television and radio broadcasting center on Shabolovka Street in Moscow, at near of the Shukhov Tower. Until the opening of the Ostankino Technical Center in 1967, it was the main transmitting television center of the USSR. From the very beginning of television broadcasting in Moscow, viewers remembered the address of the television center, where bags of letters came in every day: Moscow, Shabolovka Street, 53 (the original address of the TV center). On March 9, 1937, the TV center carried out the country's first experimental transmission of electronic television on the air. Since the end of 1937, the center began to conduct regular experimental television broadcasts on the system of electronic television. In 1991, the technical complex on Shabolovka was transferred to All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK). All VGTRK TV channels are broadcast from here, including Russia-1, Russia-K and Russia-24.

Oktyabrskaya (Koltsevaya line)

Oktyabrskaya (Russian: Октя́брьская) is a station on the Koltsevaya line of the Moscow Metro. Opened on 1 January 1950, Oktyabrskaya was part of the first segment of the fourth stage. Designed by Leonid Polyakov who took the mid-19th century Neoclassical triumphal Empire style as the basis, and incorporated the themes of the 1812 Victory over Napoleon to match the 1945 Soviet victory in the second world war, applying to the standard pylon tri-vault design. Both the central and platform vaults are divided by arches which have large bas-reliefs which contain medallions of Soviet Army soldiers surrounded by ornaments. The pylons contain a bas-relief centred ventilation grilles which are flanked by two anodized aluminum torches that give the overall golden glow to the bright grey marble that faces them. The station walls are ceramic tiles and are decorated with relief images of gilded wreaths and stars. The end of a central hall contains a miniature triumphal arch with a metallic gate that walls of a blue lit room, symbolising the time of peaceful life. The floor of the station is laid with grey and red granite, and the perimeter of the central hall is also bordered out by a pattern of bright and dark marble. The station has a large vestibule on the Kaluzhskaya square on the Garden Ring (named after the city of Kaluga) and hence the station's original name Kaluzhskaya (Калужская), renamed on 6 June 1961 to its present name (though the square's historic name was reverted in 1992). The vestibule on exterior contains large bas-reliefs of trumpeters that are lit by lamps concealed as columns underneath. Inside the ticket and escalator halls are decorated with casts and bas-reliefs containing battle banners, weapons figures of the Soviet Army and women symbolizing glory (work by G.Motovilov). In 1989 the stand-alone structure was built into the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys.In 1962, a set of staircases were added to the central hall for a transfer to the newly opened Oktyabrskaya of the Kaluzhskaya line.
