Oleksandra Saburova (Ukrainian: Олександра Сабурова; from 2000 to 2008, Saburova) is a station on the Livoberezhna Line of the Kiev Light Rail system. It was opened on May 26, 2000[1] and reopened after a significant modernization of the line on October 26, 2012.[2]
Oleksandra Saburova is located in between the Maryny Tsvetaievoi and Teodora Draizera stations. It is named in honor of Alexander Saburov, a Soviet partisan.
At one point the Kiev City authorities proposed creating the Vulytsia Saburova station of the Kiev Metro's Livoberezhna Line, although that entire project was scrapped in favor of expanding the existing light rail system.[3]
