Park Pobedy (Russian: Парк Победы – Victory Park) is a station of the Moscow Metro in the city’s Dorogomilovo District. It is on two lines: the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line and the Kalininsko–Solntsevskaya line. At 84 metres (276 ft) underground, according to the official figures, it is the deepest metro station in Moscow and one of the deepest in the world (after Kyiv Metro‘s Arsenalna, Chongqing Rail Transit‘s Hongtudi station and Saint Petersburg Metro‘s Admiralteyskaya).

Construction began in 1986. The initial plans envisaged connections from the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line to the future Mitino–Butovskaya and the Solntsevo–Mytischinskaya Chordal lines. The former was accommodated in the station’s design, with two additional tracks included parallel to those of the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line (the latter would have used a third set of track perpendicular to these). However, the 1990s financial crises ended the Chordal projects; the station opened in 2003 as a terminus of the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line, and in 2008 the Strogino–Mitino extension of the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line was begun from Park Pobedy. The second set of tracks saw their first use on 31 January 2014 as part of the Kalininsko–Solntsevskaya line‘s partial service to Delovoy Tsentr.
