was complete, and the station was renamed as Kalininskaya following the disestablishment of the Comintern. On 5 April 1953 a new, deep Arbatsky radius was launched. Kalininskaya was closed to passengers and its underground section was sealed. The vestibule inside the library was handed over to Arbatskaya which required an escalator to be built to connect to the main underground lobby of the new station, a staircase was also built in place of Kalininskaya's foyer. The passenger traffic was also divided, to rise – escalator, down – staircases. Two out of three passes to Kalininskaya's platforms were sealed. However, on 8 November 1958 metro traffic on the new Filyovskaya line was re-opened, starting from Kalininskaya and including the first, shallow Arbatsky radius. During the mid-1960s additional access to the subways under the crossroads as well as a second transfer corridor to Biblioteka Imeni Lenina were added. In a second reconstruction (1997–99), the small escalator was removed and replaced with a staircase. During its history the station was renamed several times, originally opened as Ulitsa Kominterna it was renamed in 1946 to Kalininskaya after Mikhail Kalinin. However the confusion caused by a similarly named Kalininskaya line and the changing politics in the USSR caused the station to be renamed again. In 1990, it was officially renamed Vozdvizhenka for the nearby square; however after only a few days, was renamed Alexandrovsky Sad after the Alexander Garden next to the Kremlin. Transfers Station is a part of largest interchange hub of Moscow Metro, consisting of 4 stations. From here, it is possible to change into Arbatskaya station of the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line and Biblioteka Imeni Lenina station of the Sokolnicheskaya line in eastern end of station, those 2 stations have combined exit to Mokhovaya street. Through those stations it is possible to change into the Borovitskaya station of the Serpukhovsko–Timiryazevskaya line. There is no direct change into the Borovitskaya station.
