From the history of Belorussky Station
In the second half of the 1860s, Smolensk and Moscow industrialists were interested in connecting the two cities and therefore, on their initiative and with their money, the construction of the Moscow-Smolensk railway began. The location was chosen in the area near Tverskaya Zastava, close to the city and whose lands did not provide income. The organizer and responsible for the construction was the owner of brick factories, State Councilor Nemchinov. A station in the Moscow region Nemchinovka was later named after him. The road was built on both sides and its grand opening took place in September 1870. The station building was two-story red brick with white trim. It was the sixth station built in Moscow and the second largest after Nikolaevsky. In 1871, the railway was extended to Brest, called Moscow-Brest, and it became the longest in Russia. It was a single track road 1,100 km long and remained so until the early 1890s. Then a second track was built, and the platform remained alone.
In 1896, in connection with the coronation of Nicholas II, an imperial pavilion was built according to the design of the architect Lev Kekushev for the meeting of the royal family. Located to the right of the station building, it was built in the form of a wooden tower in a pseudo-Russian style. The porch was crowned with the coat of arms of Russia with a double-headed eagle, and next to it stood a flagpole, on which the imperial standard was raised during the arrival of the sovereign. In the center of the pavilion there is a central reception area, and on the sides there are covered glass galleries. Luxurious French furniture and gold ornaments decorated the inside of the pavilion, and a velvet carpet was laid out at the entrance to the station square.
The old station building could not cope with the increased passenger traffic and it was decided to build a new one, the author of the project was the architect Ivan Strukov. In 1908, the pavilion was dismantled and by the spring of 1910, 4 platforms and the right wing of the building were ready. After 2 years, the left wing was erected and on February 26, 1912, the opening ceremony of the station took place. It was 3 times larger in area than the old one. And although almost 1 million rubles were spent on its construction, by all accounts the money was well spent. The constructed building, made in the neoclassical style using elements of false Gothic and Empire style, aroused admiration, and new cash register equipment made it possible to print travel tickets. Constructed of concrete and iron, the building was fire safe.
During the First World War, trains left for the front from here and the wounded were brought here. The farewell to soldiers defending the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War took place here, and in 1945 the most anticipated Berlin-Moscow train with the winning soldiers arrived here.
Now at the Belorussky station there are 6 platforms and 2 buildings for passengers, an underground tunnel connects the station square, suburban platforms and Leningradsky Prospekt.
The Belorussky railway station was built as a ceremonial gateway to the west. Its wings embrace the Tverskaya Zastava square. The appearance of the building has preserved the signs of past times - on the facade there is the symbol of the Ministry of Railways of tsarist times - an anchor and a hammer, inside - the coat of arms of Belarus, and the supports of the canopy are more than 100 years old.
