Two Soviet-era statues called the Young Pioneers stand on top of two modernist staircase pavilions that used to go to the river front embankment.
On the side of the embankment, there are two additional glazed staircase pavilions which are currently closed. On top of them are two statues of Young Pioneers by the sculptors , , , The statues were erected in 1965 as part of the construction of Metro Bridge. The northern statue is of a girl releasing pigeons whilst the southern one is of a boy releasing a model of the Sputnik satellite. This has since often symbolised the station as a gateway to the future of the Soviet Union: peace and technological achievement.
