Construction on the station began on 16 April 1977, and it opened on 10 August 1984, which made it the eighth station of the Saltivska Line. It is located in Kharkiv's city center, beneath the intersection of the "Petrovskoho" and "Skovorody" streets. The station is named after the former name of Hryhorii Skovoroda street that was named (after the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin) Pushkinska street at the time of the station's opening until 26 January 2024. Four days after the renaming of Pushkinska street Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov stated that all toponyms in Kharkiv associated with Russia will be renamed within three to four months, including the renaming of Pushkinska metro station.
