🇷🇺Moscow Northern River Station🇷🇺

Construction of the station began in the spring of 1933, simultaneously with work on the Moscow-Volga canal, and lasted four years and eight months. The building itself and the adjacent berths and the cargo port were built on a dry place, before the reservoir was filled [2]. Khimki river station became at that time the twelfth station in Moscow [3], however, the builders had no previous experience in creating stations of this scale. The principle of the station building with a central tower and a spire became a model for the construction of a number of river stations, which subsequently appeared, for example, in Krasnoyarsk and Nizhny Novgorod [4].
