From its opening in 1972 until 2011, the station (and square) was known as Moszkva tér. The exterior of the building is strikingly similar to that of Saint Petersburg's Pionerskaya Station. Renovations of the station began in 2015, along with the surrounding square.

gollark: It's quite easy to see that the earth flatness is wrong, unlike with religion, so I may look down on people who hold *that* belief.
gollark: I aim to avoid mocking the *people* holding beliefs, since it is quite easy to fall into traps of unfalsifiable stupid beliefs and they can't really be blamed for it, but the beliefs are totally fair game.
gollark: Well, *allowed* yes, do I think they *should* no.
