Serzha Lyfaria is located in between the Oleksandry Ekster and Teodora Draizera stations. Initially named in honor of Alexander Saburov, a Soviet partisan, it was renamed in 2019 in honor of Serge Lifar, a French ballet dancer and choreographer of Ukrainian origin.

At one point the Kyiv City authorities proposed creating the Vulytsia Saburova station of the Kyiv Metro's Livoberezhna Line, although that entire project was scrapped in favor of expanding the existing light rail system.[3]
