History
During design stage in 1960s, the station was originally named after the station location Yelizary Avenue, which was named after Mark Yelizarov (1863-1919), who became the first People's Commissar of Railways of Soviet Russia. The Leningrad Metro was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Railways. The station design originally planned to be a station on the ground but has to be changed to an underground station due to hydrological condition of the ground. From February 8 to December 29, 2016, the station was closed for reconstruction due to issue in waterproofing. The reconstructed Yelizarovskaya has a few changes. Lamps were replaced with LED lighting, entrance were replaced for inclusive designs, an ornamental panel with views of pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg was installed.
