Lubyanka (Russian: Лубянка) on the Sokolnicheskaya Line is a metro station underneath Lubyanka Square. The square is located in front of the former KGB headquarters, which now serves as the headquarters of the FSB.

Overview

The building now holds the Lubyanka Prison and one directorate of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB). In addition, a museum of the KGB (now called Историко-демонстрационный зал ФСБ России) was opened to the public.

In the Metro Series, this station is used by the Red Line as a political prison and gulag to suppress those who oppose their rule, also people suspected of defiance are sent there. As Andrew the Blacksmith in Armory Station explains:

"He could get sent to Lubyanka, and that's a one-way ticket."
