Oleksandry Ekster (Ukrainian: Марини Цвєтаєвої; from 2000 to 2008, Tsvetaievoi; from 2008 to 2023, Maryny Tsvetaievoi) is a station on the Livoberezhna Line of the Kyiv Light Rail system. It was opened on May 26, 2000[1] and reopened after a significant modernization of the line on October 26, 2012.[2]

Maryny Tsvetaievoi is located in between the Myloslavska and Serzha Lyfaria stations. Initially named in honour of Marina Tsvetaeva, a Russian poet, but it was renamed in 2023 in honour of Aleksandra Ekster, painter and designer of the Ukrainian avant-garde.

At one point the Kyiv City authorities proposed connecting the Maryny Tsvetaievoi station with a perspective station of the Kyiv Metro's Livoberezhna Line, although that entire project was scrapped in favor of expanding the existing light rail system.[3]
