The second station was to be Minskaya. As a result, the construction began exactly with the station "Slavyansky Boulevard".

Thanks to this redevelopment, it was possible to save money and reduce the length of the site by as much as 900 meters. Further construction of the station was postponed until around 2006. When in 2008 they opened the "Victory Park - Kuntsevskaya" section, the station "Slavyansky Boulevard" was still under construction, and the trains passed through the station without stopping. And from the curious eyes the construction was covered with shields, they were removed only in August, and on September 7 the station was solemnly opened.
