      • The station opened on 15 November 1955 as part of the first metro section; it is about 52 m deep.
      • The legend that the station was to be called “Stalinskaya” is a myth: “Ploshchad Stachek” and “Narvskiye Vorota” were discussed.
      • At the end of the hall hung the mosaic panel “Stalin on the Rostrum” by Alexander Gerasimov; in 1961 it was covered with a false marble wall.
      • Among the authors of the high reliefs on the piers is Mikhail Anikushin, who modelled the “Collective Farmers”.
      • Stalin was originally to stand in the centre of the “Glory to Labour!” panel above the escalator.
