The first wooden station Lanskaya, as we know, appeared by 1870 on the lands of the Lansky counts, just like Lanskoye Highway - the shortest way to Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt and to the city center. Nearby was the Imperial Forestry Academy. In its park, the famous duel took place in September 1825 between the lieutenant of the Life Guards of the Semenovsky Regiment K, Chernov and the adjutant wing, Lieutenant of the Life Guards of the Hussar Regiment Vladimir Novosiltsev, which ended in the death of both duelists. On the eve of the December events of 1825, it had a political connotation. In 1834-1838, in memory of her son, Countess E. V. Novosiltseva, nee Orlova, built the Prince Vladimirskaya Church and, in combination with it, three almshouse buildings according to the project of architect I. I. Charlemagne (Engels Ave., 1- 3-5).
The Lanskaya station was rebuilt as the penultimate one built by the architect B. Granholm on this line. Its architecture and details are dominated by the rationalist tendencies of Art Nouveau architecture with high quality finishing details. The building is two-three-story, plastered, painted in two colors. The plinth is lined with granite. Facades from windows of various sizes and shapes along the vertical axes, combining groups of windows with dark planes against a light background of walls, roofs of increased volumes, completed with a tent or gable and with a group of attic windows, bay windows, balconies. Small deglazing of window fillings in their upper parts is characteristic - a common technique in Art Nouveau, originally used by the Austrian architect I. Hoffmann.
The architecture of the Lanskoy station is in the style of pure Art Nouveau, and only the tongs and the corner tower testify to the author's romantic moods. From the side of the platform, the building comes to its mark with the second floor from the service premises. This is due to the construction of a connecting line between the Finnish Railway and the Imperial Nikolaevskaya. At the Lanskoy station, new tracks were docked with an increase in the line of the Finlyandskaya railway with the advent of viaducts-flyovers, providing for an interchange in the city different levels with Serdobolskaya Street, Lesnoy Prospekt, Bolshoy Sampsonevsky, Institutsky Lane, Zemledelchesky and others. From the Lanskoy station there is a branch to the Kushelevka station - the first station of the connecting line from the Finnish Railway.

Historical Notes
To the attention of the Finnish Railroad Administration. dor.
As you know, the area located near the station "Lanskaya", especially in the area of the Vyborg highway, has been heavily built up in recent years. New stone and wooden houses consist of winter apartments occupied all year round by the families of people who are forced to visit St. Petersburg daily for work and business.
The fastest and most convenient communication with the city is maintained by the Finnish Railway.
Unfortunately, in winter time when the need for warm, convenient and fast communication among the residents of "Lanskaya" increases, the station is closed.
Dozens of persons interested in the continuity of the message, turn to our editorial office with requests to indicate ways to apply for a stop of local trains at the station "Lanskaya" during the winter season.
Believing that the Road Administration, closing the station at the end of the summer season, is guided by economic considerations, passengers petition to leave at least one platform instead of the station for the winter without a staff of station employees and without selling tickets, following the example of the Grafskaya and Dibuny platforms.
Taking into account that the execution of this request will not cause expenses for the railway, but, on the contrary, will give it a significant number of new annual and one-time passengers, we cannot but join the present petition of the residents of Lanskaya and hope that the Finnish State Railways Administration, in general, is responsive to the convenience of the public, will not refuse here in the share of his attention.
Residents of the entire Lanskoy district will thank him very much.
Lanskaya is a junction railway station in the historical district of Lanskaya on a double-track electrified section of the Vyborgsky direction of the Oktyabrskaya railway between Finlandsky railway station and Shuvalovo station. Also, a single-track (two tracks go only to the next Novaya Derevnya station) electrified line to Sestroretsk departs from the station, connecting with the main direction in Beloostrov and a connecting branch with the Kushelevka station (Priozerskoye and Irinovskoye directions). All electric trains coming from the Finland Station towards Vyborg and Sestroretsk stop at the station, except for high-speed trains. The station is located on an embankment, Serdobolskaya Street runs between the platforms of two directions.
The station was opened in 1869 as part of the Finnish Railway. The first wooden station building was designed by architect Wolmar Westling. The new stone four-story building of the station was built in 1910 by the Finnish architect Bruno Granholm in the style of "national romanticism". It is currently located at the railway embankment, below the level of the track. In 1934, tracks from Novaya Derevnya were brought to the station, and it began to receive trains to Sestroretsk. Simultaneously with the electrification of the railway, by August 4, 1951, high platforms were installed at the station. In the same period, the Lansk electrical substation was built next to the station. In 2003, the platforms and the station were reconstructed.
Description
The station is located on an embankment, the tracks pass through 2 overpasses above Serdobolskaya street. In the northern (even) neck of the station, the tracks pass along the overpass over the Ispytateley Avenue and along the overpass over the Lanskoye Highway. Immediately after the Lansky overpass, an odd-numbered path leaves for Sestroretsk, going down and passing under the main passage. Above Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt and Institutsky Lane there are two overpasses each, two double-track for trains from and to Finland Station and from and to Kushelevka, the other two are single-track only from and to Kushelevka. There is another single-track overpass at the entrance traffic light from the Kushelevka side above Zemledelcheskaya Street. The platform of odd direction (to Vyborg and Sestroretsk) is located to the north of the overpass above Serdobolskaya street. To the north of the overpass, an even path from Sestroretsk also adjoins (it approaches the main passage even before the overpass over the Lanskoye Highway, and goes next to it before joining the main passage). The platform of the even direction (to the Finlyandsky railway station) is located to the south of the overpass. From both platforms there are stair descents to the sidewalks of Serdobolskaya Street. There are 3 tracks at the station: two main ones, on which electric trains arrive and one for freight trains, it can accept trains weighing up to 3500 tons. This track leaves for Kushelevka to the south of the station.
About Lanskaya station.
This place is located approximately on the northern outskirts of the Vyborg side.
On the one hand, the forest-technical academy park and buildings along Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt adjoin the area, on the other hand, a tram park built in 1917.
There are a lot of streets around and small railway bridges over them, all together it forms a whole interweaving of all this, in which you can’t figure it out the first time.
1. Lanskaya is a junction railway station in the historical district of Lanskaya on a double-track electrified section of the Vyborgsky direction of the Oktyabrskaya railway between Finlandsky railway station and Pargolovo station. Also, a single-track electrified line to Sestroretsk departs from the station, connecting with the main direction in Beloostrov and a connecting branch with the Kushelevka station (direction to Priozersk).
All electric trains coming from the Finland Station towards Vyborg and Sestroretsk stop at the station, except for high-speed trains.
The station is located on an embankment, Serdobolskaya Street runs between the platforms of two directions. Entrance to the platform is free, there are no turnstiles yet. A significant part of the station is located right on the railway bridges across the local streets and lanes.
2. The entrance to the platforms is equipped directly across the bridge over Serdobolskaya Street. On the right, two paths of the Vyborg main passage are visible, on the left, the path coming from the Kushelevka station.
3. Near the station there is a large and conspicuous house built in 1953 by Stalin. The house is clearly visible from passing trains, and it is the architectural dominant of the area.
3. DC traction substation, also built in a 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 coastal railway line running along the resort northern coast of the Neva Bay. A branch to Beloostrov from Lanskaya was carried out in the 30s of the last century.
5. The movement of electric trains is very intensive here. There are also Allegro trains and a lot of freight trains.
6. The stone building of the Lanskaya station station was built in 1910 by the Finnish architect Bruno Granholm in the style of "national romanticism". It is currently located at the railway embankment, below the level of the track.
The railway line to Finland itself was built back 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 take advantage of the controllers in the electric train.
8. Photograph of the 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. View from the bridges to the same huge Stalinist house, inside of which an earlier house is built, which has a crimson color.
12. Construction of 1913-14, architect Nikolai Tovstoles.
In October 1917, Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) was hiding in the apartment of the Bolshevik Margarita Fofanova. April 30, 1938 in the apartment opened memorial museum V.I. Lenin. In 1991, the premises were transferred to the Knowledge Society. In 1997, the apartment was sold to private ownership.
13. A bust of the leader was erected near the house a very long time ago. The tablet says that from this front door, one day, the leader went to make a revolution.
A historical place, one of the birthplaces of the future USSR.
14. House across the street from "Lenin". It 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 Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Prospekt. On the right is an apartment building built in 1913.
In the depths, by the way, you can see the turret of the same Stalinist house that stands near Lanskaya.
17. View of this bridge from below, from Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Prospekt. There is no information about the 3-storey house in Wikimapia.
18. Bridges over B. Sampsonievskiy turn into bridges over Institutskiy Lane, which goes deep into the forestry technical academy park.
19. View of the bridges from south direction. The slanting truss gives the bridge a special elegance and makes it practically an object of railway architecture.
20. This is how this place looks from the side of the tracks. Below me is a bridge across Institutskiy Lane.
21. The main 2-track passage turns towards the St. Petersburg-Finlyandsky station, and right in front of me there is a single-track jumper from Lanskaya to Kushelevka, along which there is intensive freight transit traffic to Vyborg and Scandinavia from the rest of Russia.
In the depths, houses on Lesnoy Prospekt are visible.
22. Single-track jumper from Kushelevka to Lanskaya.
I must say that from the side of the tracks the whole area looks completely different than from below.
23. Bridges over Zemledelcheskaya Street, on one of which an electric train went from Vyborg. Immediately behind that bridge, houses along B. Sampsonievskiy are visible.
Speaking of houses:
24. An interesting house is the profitable house of E. I. Heiderich, which stands in this quarter. Year of construction 1908.
In general, there are a lot of beautiful houses here, especially Stalinist buildings, and the main building of all the local quarters was completed in the early and middle of the 20th century.
25. Residential building with attached premises. 1951-1953, architect V.F. Belov. It stands on the corner of the 1st Murinsky and B. Sampsonievskiy prospects.
And right next to this house, along the embankment and railway bridges, the railway of the Vyborg direction passes.
26. Railway bridges across the 1st Murinsky prospect.
27. And these are the railway bridges over the 1st Murinsky, along which the exit from the St. Petersburg-Finlyandsky station towards Kushelevka and further to Sosnovo or Lake Ladoga is carried out.
28. Found this on the net. What is this bridge?
I suppose that through B. Sampsonievsky.
29. View of the bridges from Lesnoy Prospekt. There, behind them, there is another single-track bridge, along which there is an exit from Kushelevka to Lanskaya and Vyborg.
I'll call it all Vyborg railway interchange. It has the shape of a 3-ray star, corresponding to the directions to Kushelevka - Piskarevka, to Vyborg - Beloostrov and to St. Petersburg-Finlyandsky. The interchange forms many bridges over the local streets, which looks unusual, because in other cities the roads and streets always turn and bypass the railways. Here, everything is heading in its direction.
30. Interesting photo 30s of the last century. Here you can clearly see the single-track bridge over Lesnoy Prospekt, which has an exit from Kushelevka to Lanskaya. Behind the bridge you can see the park of the forest-technical academy. But there are simply no bridges with a 2-track exit from St. Petersburg-Finlyandsky to Kushelevka (which are shown in the photo above).
In this connection, I suggest that they were built either before the war, or immediately after.
31. Snapshot of the 70s. Nothing changed.
Next comes the Lesnaya metro area and houses along Lesnoy Prospekt. This area directly borders the Lanskoy station area.
32. Open Joint Stock Company "Design Bureau of Special Machine Building" (JSC "KBSM"). Development of fire weapons for air defense (air defense) / aerospace defense (VKO). Included in JSC Air Defense Concern Almaz-Antey.
33. The building stands on Lesnoy Prospekt and, judging by the style, was built before the war. It looks solid and monumental.
34. Across the road from it stands such a typical house for pre-war Leningrad.
35. "House of Specialists", standing on the corner of Lesnoy and Kantemirovskaya Street.
It was built in 1934 - 1937 according to the project of architects G.A.Simonov, B.R.Rubanenko, T.D.Katsenelenbogen.
It stands out in silhouette with a corner 7-storey tower, on the facade of which from the side of Lesnoy Ave. the inscription from the times of the blockade was restored: "Citizens! During shelling, this side of the street is the most dangerous."
It is likely that the Germans even got these places on the Vyborg side with their artillery. 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 Lesnaya metro station.
40. The station is located on the 1st (red) metro line. Built in 1975.
It is noteworthy that in the period from 1995 to 2004 it was forced to end. Due to underground erosion, the "red" metro line was broken for 9 years.
I think that the residents of Grazhdanka remember this station and all this blurry story well.
There is still a lot of things in this area and it will pull more than one post.
In the late 1960s the firewall of the house, overlooking the ground pavilion of the metro station, was decorated with a mosaic painting "Man and Stars", created in 1966 by a graduate of LVPCU (now the A.L. Stieglitz Academy), artist Valentina Akimovna Anopova.
Having finished with the history of the Finland Station, we will take a 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", "Kanneljärvi" and some others; we will get acquainted with 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 origin dates back to the distant times of the Middle Ages. Then the borders of the Russian state were in 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 subsequent years, Russia fought more than once with a quarrelsome neighbor, and the last war, as we already know, ended with the acquisition of the territory of Finland. At the same time, the external border that existed for centuries turned out to be inside the territory Russian Empire, which made it rather formal, although it remained operational - the Finnish side had its own customs and police department. Yes, and Finnish legislation was in many ways dominant: remember, for example, the fact that 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, starting at Gulf of Finland, after railway station"Beloostrov", and continued to Ladoga itself, ending by land a few kilometers from the village of Nikulyasy.
In the Sestroretsk Dunes, the border posts established on the border with Finland have been preserved. One of the structures made of pink rapakivi granite in the form of a stele can be seen right on the beach, on the coast of the Gulf of Finland. This is border post No. 1, marking the border as early as 1323. A cross is carved on the pillar, on top of which in 1924 the inscription "USSR" was knocked out. The second similar border post, No. 2, is located in the neighboring green area, on the territory of the Dunes golf club. The date of its installation is stamped on the structure - 1910, and then he marked 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 boundary pillars remain one of the few witnesses of the historical past of the Karelian Isthmus and are rare monuments of antiquity.
Station "Lanskaya"
Our imaginary train arrives at the Lanskaya station, located in the area of Serdobolskaya Street and Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Prospekt.
The name of the street has been known since July 14, 1859 and is associated with the Karelian city of Serdobol, renamed in 1918 into the city of Sortavala.
Since the end of the 18th century, this territory was part of the lands of the Russian noble family of Lansky, who came from Polish aristocrats. In the toponymy of St. Petersburg, several names have been preserved that have preserved the memory of this noble family: a highway, a bridge, a street, a railway station and the historical district that gave this station its name. A hundred years ago, here, along the Lanskoye highway, the northern border of the city passed, and everything that was located behind it belonged to the suburbs, consisting of the increasingly popular holiday villages.
Of the well-known representatives of the family, one can name Lieutenant General Alexander Dmitrievich Lansky, a chamberlain and a well-known favorite of Empress Catherine II. A young and very handsome womanizer appeared at the Court quite early, was immediately noticed by the empress, but did not use his influence on the empress much. Having lived only 26 years, A.D. Lanskoy, perhaps, simply did not have time to achieve the political power bestowed on other favorites of the reigning persons.
His cousin, Senator Major General Vasily Sergeevich Lanskoy, member of the State Council and Minister of the Interior of the Russian Empire (1823–1827), distinguished himself both on the battlefield and in public administration, holding the position of minister, and earlier heading a number of provinces and Duchy of Warsaw. Unlike his relative, Vasily Sergeevich 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 environment, however, in an unusual way. General of the cavalry Pyotr Petrovich Lanskoy in 1844 married the widow of A.S. Pushkina Natalya Nikolaevna, taking care of the children of the deceased poet.
As you can see, most of the Lanskys were somehow connected with military service. The greatest courage among them stood out Lieutenant General Sergei Nikolaevich Lanskoy, nephew of Senator V.S. Lansky, who went through with the Russian army and battles under the command of M.I. Kutuzov in Austria, and Austerlitz, after which he became a colonel. In 1807-1808 S.N. Lanskoy commanded the Polish cavalry 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 family not only received the high rank of major general, but also the Order of St. George, 3rd class (No. 213) and St. Anna, 2nd degree. With the outbreak of World War II, Sergei Nikolayevich was on the front line: he took part in battles, in the battle of the Berezina, the capture of Dresden and the “Battle of the Nations” near Leipzig in October 1813. On one of the February days of 1814, in the battle for the heights of French city Kryon, S.N. Lanskoy commanded a brigade and, covering the retreat of Prince M.S. Vorontsov, is mortally wounded, from which he dies a few hours later. The hero was buried on the banks of the Neman River in Grodno.
Of course, Alexander Dmitrievich received the land for the construction of a manor on the Vyborg road from Empress Catherine the Great, from whom they went to the Imperial Marshal Stepan Sergeevich Lansky. Then his son, Sergei Stepanovich, became the owner of the estate, leaving behind many heirs, who decided the fate of this territory, selling it in parts. Shortly before his death, which followed on January 26, 1862, S.S. Lanskoy was awarded the title of count.
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 Finnish Railway.
It so happened that with the laying of the path Vacation home Lansky turned out to be a hundred meters from the railway tracks, and the development of adjacent lands with dachas deprived their estate of the necessary privacy and comfort. All this forced the sale of land for summer cottages, which the Lanskys did in 1889, while part of their vast estate was acquired by the Finnish Railway 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 with the main city highways of this part of St. Petersburg. This, of course, created a lot of inconvenience. local residents this somewhat deserted area, moreover, with the increase in traffic, the road posed a danger to the entire 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, raising the canvas on the embankment and arranging two overpasses that have survived to this day over Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt and Institutsky Lane and two overpasses over Serdobolskaya Street. Further, behind the station, over the Lanskoe highway, a fifth overpass was built.
The wooden building of the station station "Lanskaya", and it was 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 the 20th century.
For 40 years, the inhabitants of the houses in Lanskoy put up with the close proximity of the railway. The poet Alexander Blok wrote on December 19, 1910: “... in Lesnoy. The semaphores are barely visible behind the snow. Trains are already running on a high embankment. Lanskaya is unrecognizable." Let's not forget, however, that the active construction and settlement of the territory of Lanskoy took place already in the post-war period, when the existing residential quarters were erected on the site of wooden houses.
With the opening of the Lanskaya station, a small station, designed and built of wood by the architect Wolmar Westling, began to work here. The station platform was also built of wood, raising it above the level of the railway for ease of boarding and disembarking from the cars. The current 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
The first railway station of the Lanskaya station was not preserved due to natural reasons - by 1910 (1911) the wooden structure was replaced by a stone, more durable one. The Finnish architect Bruno Ferdinand Granholm was the author of the new four-storey railway station. This remarkable building in the Art Nouveau style, standing alone at the station, is now lost in the urban area. For some time, until the road was moved to the embankment, the new stone station was adjacent to the old, wooden one. The well-preserved building is distinguished by window openings of various sizes characteristic of Art Nouveau, the “geometry” of the roof typical of Finnish national romanticism, and the overall simplicity of the building distinguishes it from a number of specialized buildings of the Finnish Railway. As we will see below, this architectural direction will be repeated to some extent in some railway buildings of the Finnish road, some of which were lost during the years of military confrontations, but some, fortunately, have survived to this day.
Tenement House Koch
Throughout the 20th century railways in the area of the station "Lanskaya" was repeatedly reconstructed. In 1934, it was connected to the Sestroretsk direction (through the station "Novaya Derevnya"), linking Sestroretsk with the Finland Station. In addition, Lanskaya was connected to the Kushelevka station, located nearby, on the neighboring suburban line. All this made it possible to turn the station into an important transport hub, capable of receiving, in addition to passenger, freight trains.
Near the railway there is a complex of residential buildings, consisting of three multi-storey buildings of different times and styles. At the address Serdobolskaya st., 1, there is an apartment building built in 1909–1910. civil engineer German Antonovich Koch in the neoclassical style. The engineer owned both the land and the building itself. In 1957–1958 architect V.A. Potapov added two floors to the house, changing the monotonous facades of the old building. Koch's profitable house is connected with the life story of the Bolshevik leader V.I. Ulyanov (Lenin), which is reminiscent of a memorial plaque installed on the facade. In addition, in 1938, a memorial museum was opened in apartment No. 41 (M.V. Fofanova), which contributed to the preservation of one of the historic staircases of the house and the interior of the early 20th century. in an apartment owned by the museum after reconstruction in the late 1950s. In 1967, a bust of Lenin by the sculptor E.G. was opened in front of the house. Zakharov (architect V.F. Belov).
IN AND. Kurds
In 1997, a memorial plaque dedicated to the illustrator Valentin Ivanovich Kurdov, who lived in the house from 1959 to 1989, was opened on the facade of the house. Kurdov began in 1927, having studied at the Higher Artistic and Technical Institute (VKhUTEIN), opened on the basis of the Imperial Academy of Arts. The young artist's teachers were such masters as M.V. Matyushin, K.S. Petrov-Vodkin and P.N. Filonov. In the pre-war and post-war years, Kurdov created illustrations for the books of L.N. Tolstoy, V.V. Bianchi, R. Kipling, W. Scott, J.S. Sokolova-Mikitova, N.I. Sladkov and other famous writers. For illustrations for Kipling's fairy tales, created in 1980, the artist received a diploma named after G.Kh. Andersen.
The tenement house of Koch stands at the end of the railway, which is correct from the point of view of the sound insulation of the apartments. Two later seven-story buildings adjoin the house on both sides: the western wing (Serdobolskaya st., 1), stretching along the railway, and the eastern wing, protruding as the main facade onto Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt (house No. 108). Both buildings appeared here in the early 1950s. (date of construction - 1953), and their facades embody the heavy neo-imperial style of the Stalin era. The end parts of both residential buildings are highlighted by towers - a square one along the avenue and two round ones near the railway station. The passage into the courtyard in the form of a driveway with two rows of columns, one of which separates the staircase of the main entrance, is well solved by the authors.
By the way, next to the station there is a small Lanskoy garden - a green corner of the former Lansky dacha, partly occupied by a boarding school for deaf children, leading its history from the school for the deaf and dumb, founded in 1806 in Pavlovsk by Empress Maria Feodorovna. In St. Petersburg, the school building at 18/54 Gorokhovaya Street, reconstructed by architects D. Kvadri (1817–1820) and P.S. Plavov (1844–1847). On the territory of the former count's estate (Engels Ave., 4) is a specialized educational institution moved in 1969
For a long time kept Historical building dachas P.P. Yakovlev, built in 1904-1906. architect P.V. Frisky. The current building (a residential building of three apartments) was erected on the site of a burned-out dacha in 2007-2009, with the reconstruction of the historical facades of the former dacha.
V.D. Novosiltsev
Next to the platform, on a relatively large area of the Lansky tram park, there is a depot building. On the opposite side, behind Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt, there is a park of the Forest Engineering Academy. Here, in the immediate vicinity of the railway, several residential buildings have been preserved, built at the beginning of the 20th century in a mixed style, with a slight touch of Art Nouveau. One of them - the mansion of the wine merchant, merchant of the 2nd guild Alexei Ilyich Khrustalev (99 Bolshoi Sampsonievsky pr.) - is deployed to the road with a side facade. The building was built in 1907 by civil engineer Yu.Yu. Mercio. Profitable house (Bolshoy Sampsonevsky pr., 93) technician A.I. Gavrilov presumably built here in 1912. He built a three-story residential building standing next to it (Bolshoy Sampsonievsky pr., 95) the following year.
The park of the Forestry Engineering Academy also remembers the sensational story of the duel in 1825 of the adjutant wing Vladimir Dmitrievich Novosiltsev and Lieutenant of the Life Guards Semyonovsky Regiment Konstantin Chernov. Here is how it was…
In the summer of 1824, the young and wealthy aide-de-camp 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, nee 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 Orlov counts. 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 position in society were given to her by birth.
According to the Petersburg high society, the marriage of the adjutant wing and the daughter of this general seemed unequal - Novosiltsev was waiting for a much more attractive party in terms of titles and finances.
But something happened that should have happened - in August Vladimir Dmitrievich and Ekaterina Pakhomovna got engaged, about which the young man immediately informed his mother. Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva immediately spoke out categorically against this marriage. As persuased by the mother of the son, and he eventually succumbed to pressure and broke off the engagement, informing his decision to the unfortunate girl. For Ekaterina Chernova, this becomes a real tragedy, and, as expected, her brother, Konstantin Pakhomovich, stood up for her sister's honor. He challenged Vladimir Novosiltsev to a duel!
K.F. Ryleev (aque. after 1826)
Understanding the impending threat, Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva tries 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 amicably and prevent a duel between his son and Novosiltseva's son.
But no one and nothing could prevent the fatal meeting of two young officers, which took place on the outskirts of forest park September 10, 1825 Second K.P. Chernov that day became the poet and Decembrist K.F. Ryleev.
The shots rang out almost simultaneously - the seriously wounded duelists fell to the ground at the same time. A few days later they died. The first to leave this world was on September 14, 1825, Vladimir Dmitrievich Novosiltsev, who was only 25 years old. Konstantin Pakhomovich Chernov, 23 years old, left next. Ekaterina
Vladimirovna Novosiltseva found her beloved son still alive. His mother buried him in the Moscow Novospassky Monastery 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 Ryleev, 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 Küchelbecker in those days wrote the poem "On the Death of Chernov", terrible in its appeals.
We swear on honor and Chernov:
Enmity and abuse of temporary workers,
King of trembling slaves,
Tyrants, ready to oppress us!Not! sons of no fatherland -
Pets of despicable aliens!
We are strangers to their arrogant families,
They are alienated from us.So, they don’t speak a Russian word,
Holy Russia is hated;
I hate them I swear
I swear on honor and Chernov!On our maidens, on our wives
Will you dare again, beloved of happiness,
Throw a glance full of voluptuousness, -
You fall, struck by a thunderbolt.And your ashes will be laughed at!
And your coffin will be in shame and disgrace!
We swear to our daughters and sisters:
Death, destruction, blood for reproach!And you, brother of our hearts, you
The hero, so cold so early,
Ascend into the heavens:
Enviable, glorious is your end!Rejoice: you are chosen by the Russian God
To all of us in a sacred pattern!
You have been given a righteous crown!
You will be our pledge of honor!
In September 1988, a monument was opened on the site of the famous duel - a stele made of gray forged granite 2.5 m high. The author of the construction was the architect V.S. Vasilkovsky, and the idea of installing this memorial sign belongs to the director of the library of the Forestry Academy T.A. Zueva. The opening was attended by the descendants of K.P. Chernov.
This duel had another continuation. Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva was very upset by the death of her son, realizing that everything that happened was her fault. She acquires a plot with an inn on the Vyborg highway, where her son spent the last hours of his life and died, and in memory of him decides to build a temple and an almshouse here. In 1842, the Orlovo-Novosiltsevo charitable institution was opened on Vyborgskoye Highway, housed in several buildings, with a single-altar church of St. Vladimir Equal-to-the-Apostles 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 the building, ready for worship.
Temple of St. Prince Vladimir
The architect decided to enter the temple in the form of a classical Doric portico with four columns and a triangular pediment. A three-tiered bell tower, square in the lower part and round in the upper tier, towered over the entrance, and the main volume of the church building was round, with a low dome crowned with a cross. The main church hall was decorated with 16 Ionic marble columns; the under-dome space, divided into caissons, was decorated by the architect with rosettes. The artist A.K. worked on the images of the mahogany iconostasis. Vigi, and for the altar E.V. Novosiltseva acquired two paintings by M.N. Vorobyov: "Jerusalem Temple" and "Chapel in Bethlehem". All the stucco work in the church was done by the sculptor F. Toricelli, the stained-glass windows for the altar were made by Orlov's Moscow workshop. Of the temple icons, three images can be noted: "Exaltation" with a wooden cross and particles of the Tree of the Lord, as well as George the Victorious and the Sorrowful Mother of God, created by Greek masters. Novosiltseva presented the church with gilded silver utensils, a Gospel in a silver setting with precious stones and enamel, a large bronze chandelier and a velvet chasuble (veil).
The small Prince Vladimir Church immediately became a real decoration of this suburb of St. Petersburg and was very popular with parishioners.
In March 1932, the church was closed, part of the seized property was transferred to the Russian Museum, part was destroyed, and a few months later the plundered architectural monument was blown up. Some buildings of the almshouse have survived to our time - these are houses No. 1, 3 and 5 along Engels Avenue.
On this we leave the station "Lanskaya" and continue our journey to Vyborg along the Finnish Railway.
