Peremoha (Ukrainian: Перемога; Russian: Победа; literally, Victory) will be the 30th station of the Kharkiv Metro, located on the system's Oleksiivska Line. The station will be located immediately north of the Oleksiivska station, and will become the line's new terminus upon its completion. Peremoha is named after the Prospect Peremohy road, which runs through the vicinity.
Construction began on the station back in the 1990s, although construction was stopped numerous times.[2] Under the initiative of Kharkiv Mayor Mikhail Dobkin, construction work on the station began again in 2009,[3] with an opening date of 2010, although it was later set back a couple of years due to inadequate funding. A previous date was set at May 7-8, 2012,[2] which would have had significance since Victory Day is celebrated on May 9, and which would have been in time for the UEFA Euro 2012 football championship. However, new funding problems again pushed the completion date, this time back to August 23, 2012.[1]
The station is designed to be two-tiered with the upper balconies used as an underground passenger walkway from either side of the Ludvik Svoboda Prospect. Architecturally, the station is modeled in the Victory Day theme. During the early planning stages the station was referred to as Prospekt Peremohy (Ukrainian: Проспект Перемоги).
The station's direct vicinity includes a market, tram line, and trolleybus roundabout. After the Peremoha station's completion in 2012, the Oleksiivska Line depot is planned to be constructed to the north of the station. Also planned is a new intercity bus station, which would lighten the traffic load upon the Tsentralnyi Rynok's bus station.
