Section 2. History of construction

The station was launched on the first day of October in 1987. "Dybenko" - the metro, received the name due to the eponymous street on which it is located. Initially, under the project, it was to be called the station of the "Red Commissars", and later it was planned to rename the object to "Merry Settlement". The last sentence was rejected.

It was also necessary to slightly change the construction plan. The fact is that during the construction of an incline in the path of the sinkers a rock rose. And although the workers used the brown-explosive method of construction, but the trajectory still had to be changed.

The underground station was designed by architects OG Kravtsov, MP Antonov and GA Vasiliev. VG Khilchenko and KG Leont'ev participated in the development of the ground vestibule.
