The metro station "Cherkizovskaya" is located on the Sokolnicheskaya line. Exits are carried out on the streets belonging to the Eastern Administrative District. The metro station "Cherkizovskaya" was opened in August 1990.
Метро "Черкизовская" было открыто одновременно со station "Street Podbelsky, located also on the" red branch. " Here once was a village, which only in 1917 became part of Moscow. The name of the village Cherkizovo, according to one of the Soviet researchers, comes from the name of a large landowner Ivan Serkizov. His ancestor possessed enormous wealth, when Dmitri Donskoi left the Golden Horde and went to Moscow, where he was baptized.
Ivan Serkizov eventually sold the estate,inherited, Ilya Ozakov, and he built in the village a temple of Elijah the Prophet, which, unfortunately, has not survived to our days. The church, located in its place, was built much later.
About how exactly Serkizovo transformed itself intoCherkizovo, it is unknown. These changes are probably connected with the phonetic features of the Russian language. In 1917, when Soviet power was established in the country, the village, in which 70 years later the metro station "Cherkizovskaya" was opened, entered the city limits, and in the sixties multi-storey residential buildings began to appear here.
For many years the station, which we are talking about in thisarticle, was known not only to Muscovites, but also to newcomers, thanks to the huge market located near.

And you can buy it both at retail and wholesale. Experts in the market located in the east of the capital claimed that you can buy the same goods here as in elite stores, but several times cheaper.
In August 2006, the market occurredact of terrorism. Several dozen people suffered, 14 people died. The perpetrators were found, convicted. Some of the criminals received life imprisonment. But the reason for the closure of the market was not yet a terrorist act, but rather a change of city government.
In 2009, there were reports in the media that the construction of a fitness center would begin soon on its territory.
