Location
The station is located under the Sormovskoye Shosse (Sormovo Road) in the Moskovsky District. In the planning phase, the station was called Kalininskaya, after the Soviet politician Mikhail Kalinin. The station is located half underground in the basement of a building of the subway company.
Architecture
It is the only subway station in Nizhny Novgorod that has two platforms on the outside of the tracks. Between the tracks there is a row of columns, above which the name of the station is mounted.

The station hall is located above the tracks and is connected to the street by stairs.
Connections
The station has connections to many tram and bus lines to the north west of Nizhny Novgorod, a part of the city not served by the metro.
