Akademicheskaya (Saint Petersburg Metro)

It is part of the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya line, located between the stations " Polytechnicheskaya" and " Grazhdansky prospect".

On the wall at the end of the hall is an inscription with the words of Lenin: Now all the wonders of technology and the conquest of culture will become public property, and from now on may the human mind and genius never be turned into a means of violence(Russian: Теперь все чудеса техники и завоевания культуры станут общенародным достоянием, и отныне никогда человеческий ум и гений не будут обращены в средства насилия)The columns and arches of the platform hall are finished with stamped profiles of polished stainless steel, which is a bit like the station "Mayakovskaya" in Moscow.

According to the project, to illuminate the station above the columns, original lamps were installed in the form of double-folded daylight tubes that did not have lampshades, and existed until 2004.

The result of the work was that the station became lighter, but at the same time it lost its original appearance.

In the lower hall of the escalator slope, lamps of the original design are used, which after a major overhaul in 2018–2019.
