The official sources feature a different station depth: 74 meters, 80 meters, 84 meters, 90 meters. However, the platform, the escalators slopes, and the lobby staircases heights sum do not confirm these figures. The station’s main escalator tilt height is 63.4 meters, and the lobby small tilt height is 3.6 meters according to data published by the subway escalator service. The turnstile lobby is connected to the surface by a staircase and an elevator with a lift height of 4.94 meters. The passenger platform height from the railheads level is 1.1 meters. Thus, the station depth is ~ 73 meters, which is confirmed by the official website of the Moscow city urban planning policy and the construction complex.

Despite this, the station is the deepest in Moscow and one of the deepest among the former USSR subways. The Sheremetyevskaya (74 meters) will become the Moscow Metro deepest station subsequently.
