It is in the Ippodromny section of Leninsky District of Nizhny Novgorod. The name Dvigatel’ Revolyutsii means “Engine of the Revolution” in Russian and comes from the Soviet-era name of the nearby diesel engine factory. The station retained its name although the factory was renamed RUMO in 1993.[4]
Incidents edit
