Moscow Metro station
Mendeleyevskaya (Russian: Менделе́евская, ) is a Moscow Metro station on the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line. It is located in the Tverskoy District of central Moscow.
It was opened on 31 December 1988. The station was designed by Nina Aleshina and Natalya Samoilova keeping to the theme of Dmitri Mendeleev and his works.

History
The station was opened on 31 December 1988 as part of the Chekhovskaya — Savelovskaya section, after which it became the 138th operational station in the Moscow Metro. The initial proposal was to name the station Novoslobodskaya, as well as the current station on the Ring Line. Upon opening, it was named after the namesake of the nearby D. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia.
Description
The station hall is coated with white marble, and the floor is lined with gray and black granite.

Why this record matters
“Mendeleyevskaya” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mendeleyevskaya, Moscow and Metro provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q302147. Authority coordinates are 55.782, 37.599. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1988.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
