Potapovo (Russian: Потапово)[a] is a station on the Sokolnicheskaya line of the Moscow Metro, in the Sosenskoye Settlement [ru] of the Novomoskovsky Administrative Okrug.[3][1][2] The station is being constructed one stop past Novomoskovskaya, the former southwestern terminus of the Sokolnicheskaya line.[2][4][5] It is the new southwestern terminus of the line.[6][7][5]

Potapovo is designed as a heated ground station, and is scheduled to be the first such station in the Moscow Metro.[6][7][2] Its design calls for double-glazed windows and extra insulation to help keep the station warm.[2][5] The station is being built in the middle of the Solntsevo–Butovo–Varshavskoye Highway [ru].[2][4] Pedestrian overpasses are planned to allow passengers to exit the station on either side of the highway.[2]

Potapovo's design is said to look like a spaceship.[5] The design of the station's platform and exterior incorporates plastic forms.[2] A sculpture by artist Dashi Namdakov is planned to be featured in the station.[2]

The construction is being managed by Mosinzhproekt.[2] The station first appeared in plans for the Moscow Metro in 2018.[7] Initially scheduled to open in 2020, Potapovo is now scheduled to open in 2024, which its station service began on 5 September 2024.[7] By the end of 2022, it was estimated to be about 60 percent complete.[8] The station is one of twenty Moscow Metro stations planned to be opened in New Moscow by 2032.[9][b]
