The first official name of the metro was L. In 2016, the authorities promised to return the official name of the metro to all the stations' signage. During the 1990s and 2000s, Lenin's name was excluded from the signage on newly built and reconstructed stations. Although there were proposals to remove Lenin from the official name, it still stands.
This shorter official name appears on many stations.
