Yaroslavl Train Station

Yaroslavl Train Station is situated on the northeastern edge of Moscow's Garden Ring road on Komsomolskaya Square. The station stands next to Leningrad Station and opposite Kazan Station, all of which are served by Komsomolskaya Metro Station.

Yaroslavl Station is the terminus for trains to and from northern European Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and China. The building's archways are decorated with relief depictions of Soviet crests and Arctic fishermen. In 1994 the famous Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn returned to Moscow after twenty years of exile.

The station is served by Komsomolskaya Metro Station, one of the more luxurious and sumptuous stations on the Circle Line. The station was designed by Shchusev and built in the 1950s. The metro station's ceiling is adorned with mosaic panels designed by Korin depicting the country's great military leaders from Alexander Nevsky and the 14th century Dmitry Donskoy, to the famed Alexander Suvorov and Prince Kutuzov, the great Russian hero of the Napoleonic Wars. The mosaic panels were created using ancient Byzantine techniques and include in them tiny squares of colored glass, marble and even granite. The place is worth a visit.
