Name history
"Avtozavodskaya" was started on January 1, 1943 in the course of the third turn of construction of the subway. She was called "Plant of Stalin" in honor of the plant which is a row which bore a name of "the leader of the people". Into "Avtozavodskaya" the station was renamed 13 years later. The name is connected with the being row the Moscow automobile plant of I. Likhachev. However, if to look narrowly, then on walls of station it is possible to see deepenings. They remained from letters of the first name. In 1992 there was an idea to rename station into "Simonovo". But hitherto this idea was realized.
