Like its circle-line counterpart the Kievskaya dark-blue-line station is also dedicated to Ukraine and the country's union with Russia. It was opened in 1953. Above the station's pillars there are 24 frescoes depicting the workers of Soviet Ukraine including architects, athletes, energy workers, builders, farmers, railway workers and car factory workers. At the end of the station is a massive panel depicting the people celebrating the 300th anniversary of the union between Ukraine and Russia.
