Section 2. Slavyansky Boulevard metro station. History
According to the original project, the construction of not one, but two stations at once was to be carried out on the section "Victory Park - Kuntsevskaya"
The second station was supposed to be "Minskaya". As a result, construction began precisely from the Slavyansky Bulvar station. In 2005, they decided to revise the project, as a result, only one metro stop was left, and the architects also wanted to move the entrances closer to the northern part of Kutuzovsky Prospekt.
Thanks to this redevelopment, it was possible to significantly save money and reduce the length of the site by as much as 900 meters. Further construction of the station was delayed until around 2006. When the Park Pobedy – Kuntsevskaya section was opened in 2008, the Slavyansky Bulvar station was still under construction, and trains passed through the station without stopping. Moreover, the construction was covered with shields from prying eyes, they were removed only in August, and on September 7 the station was solemnly opened. She was named after Slavyansky Boulevard, which is located nearby.
