Nizhny Novgorod’s Metro Debuted in 1985 with Lenin Square as Its Cornerstone
Nizhny Novgorod’s metro system opened in November 1985 after years of planning and delays. The first station, Lenin Square, was chosen for its deep historical ties to the city. Construction had begun much earlier, with the original launch date set for 1982.
The decision to start with Lenin Square was deliberate. The location carried symbolic weight, though details about its architect remain unclear. Work on the station marked the beginning of the city’s underground network.
The metro’s launch in 1985 followed a long and carefully considered process. Lenin Square station became a landmark, reflecting both the city’s past and its growth. The project’s success also highlighted the contractor’s strong reputation in large-scale construction.
