Metro entrance - Oktyabrskaya Station was designed by Leonid Polyakov who took the mid-19th century Neoclassical triumphal Empire style as the basis, and incorporated the themes of the 1812 Victory over Napoleon to match the 1945 Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic War. The station has a large vestibule on the Kaluzhskaya Square on the Garden Ring or Kaluga and hence the station's original name Kaluzhskaya.
