Kozya Sloboda
Kazan, Russia · built 2010
Kozya Sloboda (́ ́) (Goats Village) is a station on the Kazan Metro that opened on 30 December 2010. It is the first station on the right bank of the Kazanka River. Construction on the station started in February 2006. The station was set to be called Käcä Bistäse (Tatar) or Kozya Sloboda (́ ́), but in the wake of protests led in part by students of Kazan State Energy University the city government settled on the purely descriptive name Aq Bars (White Bars). The previous name, which translates roughly as Goat Settlement, was a traditional name for the region before it became a part of Kazan. Due to citizens' protests and online voting, however, the name was switched back to Kozya Sloboda. Other candidate names included Energouniversitet (Energy University) and Zarechye (Beyond the River Area).
