Project Status:
The Kursk railway station was built in the 19th century at the terminal station of the Moscow-Kursk railway.
During the Second World War, when the city was occupied by German troops, the station was completely destroyed. The project of the new building was developed by the famous Soviet architect, leading specialist of the Lentransproekt Architectural Workshop (since 1951 - Lengiprotrnas), Igor Yavein.
In its image, the station was conceived as a monument dedicated to the soldiers who died at the Kursk Bulge. A steam locomotive EM-728-73 was installed on the Privokzalnaya Square, on which the railway workers moved during the hostilities.
