Railway station Lanskaya. Railway: Stations: Lanskaya. To the former border with the Grand Duchy of Finland
About Lanskaya station.
This place is located approximately on the northern outskirts of the Vyborg side.
On the one hand, a forest technical academy park and buildings along Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Avenue adjoins the area, and on the other, a tram park built in 1917.
Around there are a lot of streets and small railway bridges above them, all together it forms a whole interweaving of all this, which you won’t understand the first time.
1. Lanskaya - a junction railway station in the historical Lanskaya district on a double-track electrified section of the Vyborg direction of the Oktyabrskaya Railway between the Finland Station and Pargolovo Station. Also, a single-track electrified line to Sestroretsk, connecting to the main direction in Beloostrov and a connecting branch to Kushelevka station (direction to Priozersk) departs from the station.
At the station, all electric trains stop following from the Finland Station towards Vyborg and Sestroretsk, except for high-speed ones.
The station is located on an embankment; Serdobolskaya Street passes between platforms of two directions. Entrance to the platform is free, there are no turnstiles yet. A significant part of the station is located directly on the railway bridges through the local streets and alleys.
2. The entrance to the platforms is equipped directly across the bridge over Serdobolskaya Street. On the right are two paths of the Vyborg main passage, on the left is the path from Kushelevka station.
3. Near the station there is a large and conspicuous house of the Stalinist building of 1953. The house is clearly visible from passing trains, and it is the architectural dominant of this area.
3. DC traction substation, also built in the characteristic post-war style. The Vyborg direction of the Leningrad railway junction was electrified in the DC standard in 1951, that is, almost immediately after the war.
4. Direction to Vyborg. The nearest train stop in this direction is Udelnaya.
The path in the middle is the beginning of a branch to Beloostrov or to the so-called seaside railway line running along the resort northern coast of the Neva Bay. A branch to Beloostrov from Lanskoy was carried out in the 30s of the last century.
5. The movement of electric trains here is very intense. And there are Allegro trains and a lot of freight trains.
6. The stone building of the station of Lanskaya station was built in 1910 by the Finnish architect Bruno Granholm in the style of "national romanticism". Currently located near the railway embankment, below the level of the bed.
The railway line to Finland itself was built in 1869 and until 1910 Lanskaya had a wooden passenger building.
7. Inside we see a typical floor tile for that era.
The station building is not crowded, people prefer to be cured by controllers in an electric train.
8. Photo of the station station Lanskaya 100 years ago.
Judging by the photo, there are no bridges over Serdobolskaya Street yet, but there is a simple crossing.
9. Railways of the Karelian Isthmus, or everything north of the Neva.
10. Bridges over Serdobolskaya Street, which judging by their appearance, were built in the 10s or 20s of the last century.
11. The view from the bridges of the very huge Stalinist house, inside which is built an earlier house, which has a crimson color.
12. Construction 1913-14, architect Nikolai Tovstoles.
In October 1917, Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) was hiding in the apartment of Bolshevik Margarita Fofanova. On April 30, 1938, a memorial museum of V.I. Lenin was opened in the apartment. In 1991, the premises were transferred to the Knowledge Society. In 1997, the apartment was sold privately.
13. Near the house a bust of the leader was installed a long time ago. On the tablet it is written that from this front door, one day, the leader went to make a revolution.
Historical place, one of the birthplaces of the future of the USSR.
14. The house across the road from the "Lenin". He stands right next to the railway bridges over Serdobolskaya.
On the house in honor of the path of V.I. Lenin to Smolny from Fofanova’s apartment (in the house opposite) in October 1917, for a long time there was a huge fresco depicting armed sailors and something else, now it is gone.
Now a little about the countless bridges in these places.
16. View from the railway bridge over Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Avenue. On the right is the apartment building built in 1913.
In the depths of the way you can see the turret of the very Stalinist house, which stands near Lanskoy.
17. The view of this bridge from below, from the side of Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Avenue. There is no information about a 3-storey building in Wikimapia.
18. Bridges across B. Sampsonievsky pass into the bridges over Institutsky Lane, which goes deep into the park of the Forestry and Technical Academy.
19. View of the bridges from the south. The slanting farm gives the bridge a special elegance and makes it practically an object of railway architecture.
20. So this place looks from the side of the tracks. Below me is a bridge across Institutsky Lane.
21. The main 2-way turn turns towards the St. Petersburg-Finland station, and right in front of me there is a one-way jumper from Lanskoy to Kushelevka, through which intensive cargo transit traffic to Vyborg and Scandinavia from the rest of Russia takes place.
In the depths are visible houses on Lesnoy Avenue.
22. One-way jumper from Kushelevka to Lanskaya.
I must say that from the side of the paths this whole area looks completely different than from below.
23. Bridges over Zemledelcheskaya Street, along one of which an electric train went from Vyborg. Immediately after that bridge, houses are visible along B. Sampsonievsky.
Speaking of houses:
24. An interesting house is the apartment building of E. I. Heiderich, which stands in this quarter. Year Built 1908.
There are a lot of beautiful houses here, especially the Stalinist buildings, and the main buildings of all the local quarters were completed at the beginning and middle of the 20th century.
25. Residential building with attached premises. 1951-1953, architect V.F. Belov. It stands on the corner of 1st Murinsky and B. Sampsonievsky Avenue.
And right next to this house, along the embankment and railway bridges, the Vyborg railway passes.
26. Railway bridges over 1st Murinsky Prospekt.
27. And this is the railway bridges over the 1st Murinsky, on which a congress from the side of the St. Petersburg-Finland station towards Kushelevka and then to Sosnovo or Lake Ladoga is carried out.
28. Found this on the net. What is this bridge?
I guess that through B. Sampsonievsky.
29. View of the bridges from the side of Forest Avenue. Behind them there is another one-way bridge, along which the exit from Kushelevka to Lanskaya and Vyborg passes.
I'll call it all vyborg railway interchange. It has the shape of a 3-ray star, respectively, with directions to Kushelevka - Piskarevka, to Vyborg - Beloostrov and to St. Petersburg-Finland. The denouement forms many bridges over local streets, which looks unusual because in other cities roads and streets always turn off and bypass railways. Then everything stubbornly goes in its direction.
30. An interesting photo of the 30s of the last century. Here the single-track bridge over Lesnoy Prospect is clearly visible, to which the congress from Kushelevka to Lanskaya is carried out. Behind the bridge you can see the park of the Forestry Technical Academy. But there are simply no bridges with a 2-way exit from St. Petersburg-Finland to Kushelevka (which are shown in the photo above).
In this connection, I suppose that they were built either before the war, or immediately after.
31. A snapshot of the 70s. Nothing changed.
Next is the Lesnaya metro area and houses along Lesnoy Avenue. This area is directly adjacent to the station area Lanskoy.
32. Open Joint-Stock Company Design Bureau of Special Engineering (OJSC KBSM). Development of fire defense equipment for air defense (air defense) / aerospace defense (EKO). It is part of Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern OJSC.
33. The building stands on Lesnoy Avenue and judging by the style was built before the war. It looks solid and monumental.
34. Across the street from it stands such a typical house for pre-war Leningrad.
35. "House of Specialists", standing on the corner of Lesnoy and Kantemirovskaya street.
Built in 1934 - 1937 according to the project of architects G.A.Simonov, B.R.Rubanenko, T.D.Katsenelenbogen.
It stands out in silhouette in a corner 7-story tower, on the facade of which from Lesnoy Ave. the inscription of the blockade was restored: "Citizens! During shelling this side of the street is the most dangerous."
It is said that the Germans took with their artillery even these places on the Vyborg side. After all, this is the northern part of the city, the most distant from the front line.
36. The same place in the 60s.
37. The wall of the "house of specialists."
38. Houses on Kantemirovskaya street.
39. Ground pavilion of the metro station "Forest".
40. The station is located on the 1st (red) metro line. Built in 1975.
It is noteworthy in that between 1995 and 2004 it was forcedly finite. Due to the underground erosion, the “red” metro line was torn for 9 years.
I think that the citizens of Grazhdanki well remember this station and the whole story with an erosion.
In this area there is still a lot of things and it will pull more than one post.
In the late 1960s. The house’s firewall overlooking the ground pavilion of the metro station was decorated with mosaic painting “Man and Stars”, created in 1966 by a graduate of the Higher School of Economics (now named after A. Stieglitz Academy), artist Valentina Akimovna Anopova.
Having finished the history of the Finland Station, we board the train and set off on a journey along the Finland Railway at the beginning of the 20th century. On this imaginary trip we will visit the Finnish stations “Kuokkalu”, “Cannellarvi” and some others; we’ll get to know the cities of Vyborg and Zelenogorsk, well, and the first stop of our historical tour will be the Lanskaya station.
To the former border with the Grand Duchy of Finland
The border of the Grand Duchy of Finland passed 30 km from St. Petersburg, and the history of its occurrence dates us back to the distant times of the Middle Ages. Then the borders of the Russian state came into contact with the kingdom of Sweden, and for the first time they were outlined in 1323, in accordance with the provisions of the Orekhovets peace treaty. In the following years, Russia fought more than once with a non-living neighbor, and, as we already know, the last war ended with the acquisition of Finland. At the same time, the external border that existed for centuries turned out to be inside the territory of the Russian Empire, which made it quite formal, although it remained valid - its own customs and police department worked on the Finnish side. Yes, and Finnish legislation was largely dominant: remember, for example, the fact that the Russian revolutionaries lived quietly on the territory of the principality, hiding from the Russian police.
On the railway
The border on the territory of Karelia passed along the Sestra River, beginning at the Gulf of Finland, after the Beloostrov railway station, and continued until Ladoga itself, ending on land a few kilometers from the village of Nikulyasy.
In the Sestretsky Dunes, border pillars, established on the border with Finland, have been preserved. One of the structures made of pink granite rapakivi in \u200b\u200bthe form of a stele can be seen right on the beach, on the shores of the Gulf of Finland. This is border pillar No. 1, which designates the border as early as 1323. A cross is knocked out on a pole, on top of which in 1924 the inscription “USSR” was knocked out. The second such border post, No. 2, is located in the neighboring green massif, on the territory of the Dunes Golf Club. The date of its installation, 1910, was knocked out at the building, and he then designated the specified border line between the empire and the Principality of Finland.
It must be remembered that most of the border posts between Russia and Sweden, and then Finland, were made of wood and they simply could not survive to this day. So these two stone border pillars remain one of the few witnesses to the historical past of the Karelian Isthmus and are rare monuments.
Station "Lanskaya"
Our imaginary train arrives at the Lanskaya station, located in the area of \u200b\u200bSerdobolskaya Street and Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Avenue.
The name of the street has been known since July 14, 1859 and is associated with the Karelian city of Serdobol, renamed in 1918 the city of Sortavala.
This territory since the end of the XVIII century was part of the lands of the Russian noble family Lansky, descended from Polish aristocrats. In the toponymy of St. Petersburg, several names have survived that have preserved the memory of this noble family: highway, bridge, street, railway station and the historical district that gave this station its name. A hundred years ago here, along the Lansky highway, the northern border of the city passed, and everything that was located behind it belonged to the suburbs, consisting of the gaining popularity of holiday villages.
Among the well-known representatives of the clan, lieutenant-general Alexander Dmitrievich Lansky, chamberlain and famous favorite of Empress Catherine II, can be called. The young and very beautiful womanizer came to the Court quite early, was immediately noticed by the empress, but used little of his influence on the empress. Having lived only 26 years, A.D. Lanskoy, perhaps, simply did not have time to achieve the political power granted to other favorites of the reigning persons.
His cousin, Senator Major General Vasily Sergeyevich Lanskoy, a member of the State Council and Minister of the Interior of the Russian Empire (1823–1827), distinguished himself both in the battlefield and in state administration, holding the post of minister, and previously heading a number of provinces and Duchy of Warsaw. Unlike his relative, Vasily Sergeyevich lived a long life, although he died in 1831 in St. Petersburg from cholera. To this we add that another Lanskoy - Sergei Stepanovich - also served as Minister of the Interior, but in 1855, under Emperor Alexander II.
HELL. Lanskoy (artist: D.G. Levitsky, 1782)
The surname Lansky was also noted in the literary milieu, though in an unusual way. The cavalry general Pyotr Petrovich Lanskoy in 1844 married the widow of A.S. Pushkin Natalya Nikolaevna, taking care of the children of the deceased poet.
As you can see, most Lansky were somehow connected with military service. The greatest courage among them stood out Lieutenant General Sergei Nikolaevich Lanskoy, the nephew of Senator V.S. Lansky, held with the Russian army and the battle under the command of M.I. Kutuzov in Austria, and Austerlitz, after which he became a colonel. In 18071808 S.N. Lanskoy commanded the Polish Horse Regiment, and in 1809 he fought with the Ottoman Empire, commanding the Belarusian Hussar Regiment of the Danube Army. In the war with Turkey, this representative of the Lansky clan not only received the high rank of Major General, but also the Order of St. George of the 3rd class (No. 213) and St. Anna of the 2nd degree. With the outbreak of World War II, Sergei Nikolaevich was at the forefront: participating in the battles, the battle of Berezin, the capture of Dresden and the “Battle of the Peoples” near Leipzig in October 1813. On one of the February days of 1814, in the battle for heights near the French city of Kryon, S.N. Lanskoy commands a brigade and, covering up the retreat of Prince M.S. Vorontsova, is fatally wounded, from whom he dies after several hours. The hero was buried on the banks of the Neman River in Grodno.
Of course, Alexander Dmitrievich received the lands for the construction of the manor on the Vyborg Road from Empress Catherine the Great, from whom they got to the marshal Stepan Sergeyevich Lansky. Further, the owner of the estate was his son, Sergei Stepanovich, who left behind a lot of heirs, who ordered the fate of this territory, having sold it in parts. Shortly before the death that followed on January 26, 1862, S.S. Lanskoy was awarded the count title.
Such is the story of the most prominent representatives of the Lansky nobles, and in the meantime, we will return to the history of the Finland Railway.
It so happened that with the laying of the road, the Lansky country house turned out to be a hundred meters from the railway tracks, and the development of the adjacent lands by summer houses deprived their estate of the necessary privacy and comfort. All this forced the sale of land for cottages, which Lansky did in 1889, while the Finnish Railway acquired part of their vast estate for their needs.
Station "Lanskaya" in 1911
The construction of the station was carried out simultaneously with the construction of the railway itself, which initially (and the station was opened in 1869) was located on the same level as the main city highways in this part of St. Petersburg. This, of course, created a lot of inconvenience to the locals of this somewhat deserted area, and with the increase in traffic, the road posed a danger to the whole structure of life in this rapidly growing area of \u200b\u200bthe city. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, by 1910, the authorities and the Directorate of the Highway reconstructed the road by lifting the canvas on the embankment and arranging two overpasses preserved over Bolshaya Sampsonievsky Prospect and Institutsky Lane and two overpasses over Serdobolskaya Street. Further, behind the station, a fifth overpass was built over Lansky highway.
The wooden building of the station "Lanskaya" station, and it was of the 4th class, consisted of four rooms, an expedition hall, a ladies room and a telegraph room. Two gatehouses were built at the station.
Station "Lanskaya" at the beginning of XX century.
For 40 years, the inhabitants of the houses in Lansky put up with the close proximity of the railway. The poet Alexander Blok recorded on December 19, 1910: “... in Lesnoy. Semaphores are barely visible behind the snow. Trains run already on a high embankment. Lanskaya is unrecognizable. " We will not forget, however, that the active construction and settlement of the Lansky territory took place already in the post-war period, when existing residential areas were erected on the site of wooden houses.
With the opening of the Lanskaya station, a small train station designed and built of wood by the architect Wollmar Westling also began work here. The station platform was also built of wood, raising it above the level of the railway for the convenience of boarding and disembarking from cars. The existing two high reinforced concrete platforms (island and side) were built already in Soviet times, in 1951, during the electrification of this section of the road.
Fare in the summer of 1895
For the natural reasons, the first station of the Lanskaya station was not preserved - by 1910 (1911) the wooden structure was replaced by a stone, more durable one. The author of the new four-story railway station was the Finnish architect Bruno Ferdinand Granholm. This remarkable Art Nouveau building, standing alone at the station, is now lost in urban development. For a while, until the road was transferred to the embankment, the new stone station was adjacent to the old, wooden one. The well-preserved building is distinguished by window openings of different sizes, typical for Finnish national romanticism, the “geometricity” of the roof, and the general simplicity of the building sets it apart from the specialized buildings of the Finland Railway. As we will see later, this architectural direction will be repeated to some extent in some railway structures of the Finnish road, some of which were lost during the years of military confrontation, but some, fortunately, have survived to this day.
Apartment Building Koch
Throughout the XX century. railway tracks in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Lanskaya station were repeatedly reconstructed. In 1934, it was connected to the Sestroretsk direction (via the Novaya Derevnya station), connecting Sestroretsk with the Finland Station. In addition, Lanskaya was connected to the Kushelevka station, located nearby, on an adjacent branch of the suburban service. All this made it possible to make an important transport hub out of the station, capable of receiving, in addition to passenger, freight trains.
Next to the railway is a complex of residential buildings, consisting of three multi-story buildings of different times and styles. At the address Serdobolskaya St., 1, a tenement house is built, built in 1909-1910. civil engineer German Antonovich Koch in the style of neoclassicism. The engineer owned both the land and the building itself. In the years 1957-1958 architect V.A. Potapov built the house on two floors, changing the monotonous facades of the old building. The profitable house of Koch is connected with the life story of the leader of the Bolsheviks V.I. Ulyanov (Lenin), which is reminiscent of a memorial plaque mounted on the facade. In addition, in 1938, a memorial museum was opened in apartment No. 41 (MV Fofanova), which contributed to the preservation of one of the historic staircases of the house and interior of the early XX century. in the museum-owned apartment after reconstruction of the late 1950s. In 1967, a bust of Lenin by the sculptor E.G. was opened in front of the house. Zakharova (architect V.F. Belov).
IN AND. Kurds
In 1997, a memorial plaque dedicated to illustrator Valentin Ivanovich Kurdov, who lived in the house from 1959 to 1989, was opened on the facade of the house. Work on illustrations for books for children by V.I. Kurdov began in 1927, having studied at the Higher Art and Technical Institute (VKHUTEIN), opened on the basis of the Imperial Academy of Arts. The teachers of the young artist were such masters as M.V. Matyushin, K.S. Petrov-Vodkin and P.N. Filonov. In the prewar and postwar years, the Kurds created illustrations for the books of L.N. Tolstoy, V.V. Bianchi, R. Kipling, W. Scott, I.S. Sokolova-Mikitova, N.I. Sladkova and other famous writers. For illustrations to Kipling's fairy tales created in 1980, the artist received a diploma named after G.Kh. Andersen.
The Kokh apartment building faces the railway, which is correct from the point of view of sound insulation of apartments. Two later seven-story buildings adjoin the house on both sides: the western wing (Serdobolskaya St., 1), which stretches along the railway, and the east, which acts as the main facade on Bolshaya Sampsonievsky Prospekt (house number 108). Both buildings appeared here in the early 1950s. (date of construction - 1953), and their facades embody the heavyweight neo-imperial style of the Stalin era. The end parts of both residential buildings are distinguished by towers - square on the avenue and two round at the railway station. The authors resolved the passage into the courtyard in the form of a passage with two rows of columns, one of which separates the staircase of the main entrance.
By the way, next to the station is a small Lansky garden - a green corner of the former Lansky dacha, a part-time boarding school for deaf children, leading its history from the Deaf and Dumb School, founded in 1806 in Pavlovsk by Empress Maria Fedorovna. In St. Petersburg, the school building on Gorokhovaya St., 18/54, reconstructed by architects D. Quadri (1817–1820) and P.S. Plavov (1844-1847). This specialized educational institution moved to the territory of the former count's estate (4 Engels Ave.) in 1969.
For a long time the historical building of the cottage P.P. Yakovleva, built in 1904-1906 architect P.V. Frisky. The existing building (a residential building of three apartments) was erected on the site of a burnt cottage in 2007-2009, with the reconstruction of the historical facades of the former cottage.
V.D. Novosiltsev
Near the platform, on a relatively large area of \u200b\u200bthe Lansky tram park, there is a depot building. On the opposite side, beyond the Great Sampsonievsky Avenue, is the park of the Forestry Engineering Academy. Here, in the immediate vicinity of the railway, several residential buildings, built in the early 20th century in a mixed style, with a touch of modernity, have survived. One of them - the mansion of the wine merchant, the 2nd guild merchant Alexei Ilyich Khrustalyov (99 Bolshoy Sampsonievsky pr.) - is turned to the road with a side facade. The building was built in 1907 by civil engineer Yu.Yu. Mercio. Apartment building (Bolshoy Sampsonievsky pr., 93) technician A.I. Gavrilov supposedly built it here in 1912. He stood next to a three-story residential building (95 Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Ave.), he built the next year.
The Forest Technical Academy Park also remembers the sensational story of the duel of the adjutant Vladimir Dmitrievich Novosiltsev and the lieutenant of the Life Guards of the Semenovsky Regiment Konstantin Chernov, which was sensational in 1825. Here is how it was…
In the summer of 1824, the young and wealthy wing-adjutant of the sovereign V.D. Novosiltsev met a young girl, Ekaterina Pakhomovna Chernova. She was the daughter of Major General Pakhom Kondratievich Chernov and Agrafena Grigoryevna Chernova, as a girl - Radygina.
E.V. Novosiltseva
The general’s family was not among the noble and wealthy, in contrast to the Novosiltsev family — the descendants of the Count Orlov. Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva, the mother of the hero-lover, was the daughter of Count Vladimir Grigoryevich Orlov and Countess Elizaveta Ivanovna Stackelberg, so wealth and status in society were given to her by birth.
According to St. Petersburg high society, the marriage of the aide-adjutant and the daughter of this general seemed unequal - a much more attractive party was waiting for Novosiltsev in terms of titles and finances.
But what happened was to happen - in August Vladimir Dmitrievich and Ekaterina Pakhomovna became engaged, which the young man immediately informed his mother. Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva immediately spoke categorically against this marriage. As the mother of the son persuaded, and he eventually yielded to the pressure and broke off the engagement, communicating his decision to the unfortunate girl. For Ekaterina Chernova, this becomes a real tragedy, and for her sister’s honor, as expected, her sibling Konstantin Pakhomovich intervened. He challenged Vladimir Novosiltsev to a duel!
K.F. Ryleyev (aqu. After 1826)
Understanding the impending threat, Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva is trying to prevent this and reports the upcoming duel to Count F.V. Saken - the immediate superior of her son. The count, occupying a higher position, orders Pakhom Kondratievich Chernov to settle the matter peacefully and to prevent a duel between his son and his son Novosiltseva.
But no one and nothing could prevent the fatal meeting of two young officers, which took place on the outskirts of the Forest Park on September 10, 1825. KP Secundant Chernova that day was the poet and Decembrist K.F. Ryleyev.
The shots rang out almost simultaneously - the seriously wounded duelists simultaneously fell to the ground. A few days later they died. The first to leave this world was September 14, 1825. Vladimir Dmitrievich Novosiltsev, who was only 25 years old. Next went Konstantin Pakhomovich Chernov, 23 years old. Catherine
Vladimirovna Novosiltseva found her beloved son still alive. His mother buried him in the Novospassky monastery in Moscow and, taking his embalmed heart in a silver vessel, returned to St. Petersburg.
Chernov’s funeral took place in St. Petersburg on September 26, 1825 with a large gathering of friends and fellow soldiers. Like Ryleyev, he participated in the activities of the Northern Secret Society, and his tragic death became an occasion for a public speech against tyranny, a kind of harbinger of the December events on Senate Square.
The poet Wilhelm Kuchelbecker in those days wrote the poem "On the death of Chernov," terrible in his appeals.
We swear honor and Chernov:
Enmity and abuse of temporary workers,
King of the trembling slaves
Tyrants, ready to hijack us!Not! not fatherland sons -
Pets aliens despicable!
We are alien to their arrogant families,
They are alienated from us.So, they do not speak the Russian word,
They hate the Holy Russia;
I hate them, swear
I swear honor and Chernov!On our virgins, on our wives
Do you get bold again, the darling of happiness,
Look to quit, full of voluptuousness, -
You fall, perun is amazed.And your dust will be in a mockery!
And your coffin will be in shame and disgrace!
We swear to the daughters and sisters:
Death, death, blood for reproach!And you, brother of our hearts
Hero so early chilled
Climb into the heavens:
Envy, glorious your end!Rejoice: you are chosen by the Russian God
All of us in a sacred pattern!
You have been given a righteous crown!
You will be a guarantee of honor to us!
In September 1988, on the site of the famous duel, a monument was unveiled - a stele of gray forged granite 2.5 m high. The author of the structure was architect V.S. Vasilkovsky, and the idea of \u200b\u200binstalling this memorial sign belongs to the director of the library of the Forestry Technical Academy T.A. Zueva. The opening was attended by the descendants of K.P. Chernova.
This duel had one more continuation. Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva was seriously worried about the death of her son, realizing that everything that happened happened through her fault. She acquires a plot with an inn on Vyborg highway, where she spent the last hours of her life and her son died, and in memory of him decides to build a temple and an almshouse there. In 1842, the Orlov-Novosiltsevsky charity institution was opened on Vyborg Highway, housed in several buildings, with a single-throne church of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir in the center of the ensemble. A small church, like the rest of the buildings, was built in the style of classicism in 1834–1842. architect I.I. Charlemagne. The laying of the temple took place on May 1, 1834, and on May 15, 1838, Metropolitan Filaret consecrated a building ready for worship.
Church of St. Prince Vladimir
The architect decided to enter the temple in the form of a classic Doric portico with four columns and a triangular pediment. The three-tier bell tower, square in the lower part and round in the upper tier, towered above the entrance, and the bulk of the church building was round, with a low dome crowned with a cross. The main church hall was decorated with 16 marble columns of the Ionic order; the dome space, divided into caissons, the architect decorated with rosettes. The artist A.K. worked on images of the mahogany iconostasis. Whigs, and for the altar E.V. Novosiltseva acquired two paintings by M.N. Vorobyov: “Jerusalem Temple” and “Chapel in Bethlehem.” All stucco molding in the church was performed by sculptor F. Toricelli, stained glass for the altar was made by the Moscow workshop of Orlov. Of the temple icons, three images can be noted: the “Exaltation” with a wooden cross and particles of the Lord’s Tree, as well as George the Victorious and the Grieving Virgin, created by Greek masters. Novosiltseva presented the church with gilded silver utensils, the Gospel in a silver setting with precious stones and enamel, a large bronze chandelier and velvet vestment.
The small Prince Vladimir Church immediately became a real decoration of this suburb of St. Petersburg and was very popular among parishioners.
In March 1932, the church was closed, part of the seized property was transferred to the Russian Museum, part was destroyed, and several months later, a looted architectural monument was blown up. Some buildings of the almshouse have survived to our time - these are houses No. 1, 3, and 5 on Engels Avenue.
On this, we leave the Lanskaya station and continue our journey to Vyborg by the Finland Railway.
Lanskaya is a junction railway station in the historical district of Lanskaya on a double-track electrified section of the Vyborg direction of the Oktyabrskaya Railway between Finland Station and Shuvalovo Station. There is also a one-way exit from the station (two routes go only to the next Novaya Derevnya station) an electrified line to Sestroretsk, connecting to the main direction in Beloostrov and connecting branch to Kushelevka station (Priozerskoe and Irinovskaya directions). At the station, all electric trains stop following from the Finland Station towards Vyborg and Sestroretsk, except for high-speed ones. The station is located on an embankment; Serdobolskaya Street passes between platforms of two directions.
The station was opened in 1869 as part of the Finland Railway. The first wooden station building was designed by the architect Wollmar Westling. The new four-story stone station building was built in 1910 by the Finnish architect Bruno Granholm in the style of "national romanticism." Currently located near the railway embankment, below the level of the bed. In 1934, the path from the New Village was brought to the station, and she began to take trains to Sestroretsk. Along with the electrification of the railway, by August 4, 1951, high platforms were built at the station. In the same period, the Lanskaya electrical substation was built near the station. In 2003, the platforms and the station were reconstructed.
