[3] Initially, the station operated as part of the Nekrasovskaya line with direct service from Nekrasovka to Aviamotornaya.

Once the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line opened, Nekrasovskaya trains began to terminate here with a cross-platform interchange to that line.

Nizhegorodskaya Street in turn is named for Nizhegorodsky Station, which was built in 1861 and closed in the 1950s.

The basic idea for the interchange node of the station was Moskovskaya station of the Nizhny Novgorod Metro.
