Moscow is considered one of the most populous cities in Europe, because more than 10 million people live here. The Russian capital is also the oldest European city, the first written mention of which dates back to the 12th century, and since the end of the 15th century it is also the political and cultural capital.
The whole history of the country was clearly reflected in the architecture of the city. Narrow alleys and wide modern highways, ancient palaces and high-rise buildings, numerous monuments and magnificent temples are associated with a certain
history page. Moscow is so diverse and diverse that it seems that you travel in space and time. Visitors who first visited Moscow are especially lost in the city. They get lost immediately, as soon as they step onto the platform, for example, of the Leningrad railway station.
"Leningrad Station. Moscow. Metro Komsomolskaya, ”announces the announcer, and you immediately plunge into the atmosphere of universal fuss. Leningradsky Station - one of the oldest stations in the city, "grandfather", "elder" metropolitan stations. Designed by architect Ton at the end of the 19th century, it still serves people reliably by linking Moscow with Saint-Petersburg, Murmansk, Tallinn, Helsinki with a thin railway thread. Interestingly, the two-story building of the station is an exact copy, literally a mirror image of the Moscow station in St. Petersburg.
Leningradsky is one of the most amazing metro stations located on the square of Three stations and is a real architectural monument. Strictness, monotonous regularity, rhythmic alternation of architectural details, symmetry of the overall composition, revitalizing decorative elements - this is the Leningrad station. The metro station Komsomolskaya, which is located near it, somehow repeats its architecture.
The station is small by modern standards. Only 10 paths, half of which
serves long-distance trains, the second half - suburban. Every day 110 commuter trains and 43 long-distance trains arrive here and depart from here. Therefore, there is always a lot of hurrying people. It delivers to the Leningradsky railway station metro and passengers traveling to St. Petersburg on the express trains Aurora, Red Arrow, Russian Troika, as well as on the modern high-speed electric train ER200.
Getting to the station is quite simple. If you do not want to be late for the train, and you need the Leningradsky railway station, the metro will help you get to it from anywhere in Moscow in a fairly short time. The fact is that the station building is located near the center, so because of the traffic, travel by car and even a taxi can be problematic. But underground transport will never let you down.
The Leningradsky railway station, the Komsomolskaya metro station, several cafes and restaurants, the Moskovsky department store, many shops and small shops are all nearby. This arrangement is very successful, as it will help brighten up the waiting for those passengers who are forced to wait a long time for their train. And the infrastructure of the station itself also makes a good impression.
Since 1935, passengers have been delivered to the Leningradsky
metro station of the Moscow metro . The Komsomol members made a great contribution to its construction, which is why the design of the station reflects the heroism of the work of Komsomol metro-workers. So the capitals of the columns at the station are decorated with the emblem of the
Communist International of Youth, made in bronze, and the walls are decorated with a panel “Metrostroyevtsy” made of majolica tiles. The station itself, providing the movement of passengers on two levels, is
faced with tiles and marble in bright, sunny colors. Therefore, for passengers arriving in Moscow, the sense of celebration only intensifies.
