Name

It is named after the nearby street, which in turn is named to commemorate the Revolution of 1905.

Building

The station is considered to be the first in Moscow of the modified column tri-span "Sorokonozhka" design which signified that the era where functionality dominated metro architecture had ceased. The number of pillars was lowered from 40 to 26, and the interpillar distance increased from 4 to 6.5 metres. The architect, Robert Pogrebnoi, applied a decoration of pink marble to the pillars of varying shades. The walls were also decorated with marble instead of ceramic tiles for the first time. The grey marble shade is punctuated with frisian and metallic artworks showing the numbers 1905 and torches. Grey granite covers the floor.
The western vestibule is underground with an exit to Year 1905 street, whilst the eastern vestibule is a surface rotunda building and is situated in the middle of Krasnopresnenskaya Zastava square. It is decorated inside with a frisian mosaic of the events of 1905.
The station carries a total of 74410 people daily.
