Vykhino (Russian: Выхино) is a station on Moscow Metro's Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line. Opened on 31 December 1966 as the final part of the Zhdanovsky Radius, the station was the southeastern terminus of the line until 9 November 2013, when the extension to Lermontovsky Prospekt and Zhulebino was opened.[1] The metro station is part of a multi-modal transfer hub, which also consists of the mainline suburban railway (Kazanskoye direction).
Originally, the station (as well as the line) was called Zhdanovskaya (Russian: Ждановская) after Soviet revolutionary and politician Andrei Zhdanov. However, in 1988 the station was renamed for the village of Vykhino that was absorbed by Moscow in 1960.[2]
