Moscow is considered one of the densely populated 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 has also been a political and cultural capital.
The entire history of the country is clearly reflected in the architecture of the city. Narrow lanes and wide modern highways, ancient palaces and high-rise buildings, numerous monuments and majestic temples are associated with a certain
a page of history. Moscow is so many-sided and diverse that one gets the impression that one is traveling in space and time. Newcomers who visited Moscow for the first time are especially lost in the city. They get lost as soon as they step on the platform, for example, the Leningrad railway station.

Built according to the project of the architect Ton at the end of the 19th century, it still reliably serves people, connecting Moscow with St. Petersburg, Murmansk, Tallinn, and Helsinki with a thin railway line. Interestingly, the two-story station building is an exact copy, literally a mirror image of the Moscow station in St. Petersburg.
Leningradsky - one of the most amazing metropolitan stations, located on the Three Stations Square and is a real monument of architecture. Strictness, monotonous regularity, rhythmic alternation of architectural details, symmetry of the overall composition, enlivening decorative elements - this is the Leningradsky railway station. The Komsomolskaya metro station, which is located near it, somewhat repeats its architecture.
The station is small by today's standards. There are 10 paths in total, half of which are
serves long-distance trains, the second half - suburban. Every day, 110 suburban trains and 43 long-distance trains arrive here and depart from here. Therefore, there are always a lot of people in a hurry.

Delivery of passengers to the Leningradsky metro station of the Moscow metro began in 1935. Komsomol members made a great contribution to its construction, which is why the design of the station reflects the heroic work of Komsomol metro builders.

The station itself, which ensures the movement of passengers on two levels, is lined with tiles and marble in bright, sunny colors.
