The Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line (Ukrainian: Святошинсько-Броварська лінія;Russian: Святошинско-Броварская, Svyatoshinsko-Brovarskaya), was the first line of the Kiev Metro, dating back to 1960. It includes some of the system's more historically significant stations, like Arsenalna, which at 102 metres is the deepest in the world and the next one Dnipro, which even though the tunnel follows a descent, the station is above ground level. All the station on the eastern side of the Dnieper river are either ground or above ground level. Like on Moscow's Filyovskaya Line experiment, a similar one took place in Kiev, but the warmer Ukrainian climate prevented the stations there from being severely deteriorated, which was why extensions in 1968 and 1979 were kept from going underground. The five original stations are extremely beautiful in architecture and decoration as they managed to survive Nikita Khrushchev's struggle with decorative "extras".
The Svyatoshinsko-Brovarskaya Line cuts Kiev on an east-west axis and presently comprises 18 stations. It is generally coloured red on Metro maps.

Rolling stock
The line is served by the Darnytsia depot (№ 1) although before 1965 a converted tram depot that was under the Dnipro station was used, after the completion of the bridge the depot was dismantled
Recent developments and future plans
No current extensions planned but some of the stations are due to undergo renovation after nearly half a century of exploitation. Also new exits to the surface are planned for several stations: Hidropark in 1990, Lisova in 2005, Darnytsia by 2010 and Universytet and Teatralna by 2020.
