Smolensk railway station is the primary passenger railway station for the city of Smolensk in Russia, and an important stop along the Moscow–Brest Railway.

History

[edit]

There were two buildings that stood parallel to each other and were connected by an arch with a clock. After the Great Patriotic War, the current railway station was built in 1949-1951. Architects were Boris Mezentsev and Mikhail Shpotov.[2]

The first train that arrived in Smolensk was from Vitebsk (Belarus).[2]
