Fragile Fern – Cystopteris fragilis

Ploshcha Lyenina (Belarusian: Плошча Леніна; Russian: Площадь Ленина, romanized: Ploshchad Lenina; lit. 'Lenin Square') is a Minsk Metro station.

The station, opened on June 24, 1984, is part of the Maskoŭskaja line and serves the main railway station of the city, Minsk-Pasažyrski.

From 1992 to 2003, the station was called "Ploshcha Nyezalyezhnastsi" (Belarusian: Плошча Незалежнасці, lit. 'Independence Square'), but later the station's original name was restored. According to the head of the technical department of the Minsk subway, the official decision to rename the station "Lenin Square" to "Independence Square" was never taken, and was only verbal instructions from the government.

It is a transfer station to the Vakzaĺnaja station on the Zelenaluzhskaya line.

It is one of three on the Minsk Metro to have been built with an entrance in an existing building, the other two being Kastryčnickaja and Kupalaŭskaja.^[1]
