Gorki (Russian and Tatar: Горки) is a station of the Kazan Metro. Opened as part of the first stage on 27 August 2005 it is presently the southeastern terminus of the system. Located in the southeastern Gorki-1 microraion, the station presents a typical single-vault subsurface design.
Developed by architects A.Mustafin, R.Khisamov and T.Mukhametzyonov, the station's theme is a two-tone high-tech industrial design that blends with the surrounding Soviet-time Panel buildings. The station features a monolithic vault that is split into segments, and along its central axis run a set of lighting elements that create the steam effect.
The walls of the station are faced with dark green (Indiana grin) marble and behind their nieches are additional lighting elements which illuminate the white vault. The floor of the station is covered by Mansurovsky and Starobabansky granite plates aranged in a geometrical pattern.
The staion has two vestibules, located along the Rikhard Zorge, the northern one has one exist towards the intersection of Zorge with Tankovaya and Malyurina streets, whilst the southern one, which was opened slighly later on 29 September 2005, is located under the intersection of Zorge with the Rodina (motherland) street.
Behind the station is set of reversal sidings, but this arrangement will end in summer 2008, when the first extension of the Kazan Metro, station Prospekt Pobedy will open.
