Armiiska (Ukrainian: Армійська, ), formerly known as Radianskoii Armii (Ukrainian: Радянської армії), is a station on the Kharkiv Metro's Kholodnohirsko–Zavodska Line. It opened on 11 August 1978.
On 17 May 2016, the station was renamed conformed with the law banning Communist names in Ukraine.[1] In September 2023 Soviet red stars, until then still visible in the station's design, were replaced with images of a Ukrainian trident and the Coat of arms of Kharkiv.[2]
