Which municipality does Lanskaya station belong to? Lanskaya - Lesnaya. To the former border with the Grand Duchy of Finland
About Lanskaya station.
This place is located approximately on the northern outskirts of the Vyborg side.
On one side, the area is adjacent to the park of the Forestry Technical Academy and buildings along Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt, and on the other, 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 it all, which you won’t be able to figure out at first.
1. Lanskaya is a junction railway station in the historical Lanskaya district on a double-track electrified section of the Vyborg direction of the Oktyabrskaya Railway between Finlyandsky Station and Pargolovo Station. Also departing from the station is a single-track electrified line to Sestroretsk, connecting to the main direction in Beloostrov, and a connecting branch to Kushelevka station (direction to Priozersk).
All electric trains traveling from Finlyandsky Station towards Vyborg and Sestroretsk, except high-speed ones, stop at the station.
The station is located on an embankment; Serdobolskaya Street runs between the platforms of the 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 alleys.
2. The entrance to the platforms is located directly across the bridge over Serdobolskaya Street. On the right you can see two paths of the Vyborg main passage, on the left the path coming from Kushelevka station.
3. Near the station there is a large and noticeable Stalinist house built in 1953. The house is clearly visible from passing trains, and it itself 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 using the direct current 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 seaside railway line running along the resort north coast Neva Bay. A branch line to Beloostrov from Lanskaya was built in the 30s of the last century.
5. The traffic of electric trains here is very intense. There are also Allegro trains and many freight trains.
6. The stone building of the Lanskaya station was built in 1910 by the Finnish architect Bruno Granholm in the style of “national romanticism”. Currently located near 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 typical floor tiles for that era.
The station building is not crowded; people prefer to visit the controllers on the electric train.
8. Photo of the Lanskaya station 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 of that same huge Stalinist house, inside of which an earlier house, which has a crimson color, was built.
12. Construction 1913-14, architect Nikolai Tovstoles.
In October 1917, Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) was hiding in the apartment of Bolshevik Margarita Fofanova. On April 30, 1938, the apartment opened memorial museum V.I.Lenin. In 1991, the premises were transferred to the Knowledge Society. In 1997, the apartment was sold into private ownership.
13. A bust of the leader was erected near the house a long time ago. The sign says that from this front door, one day, the leader went to start a revolution.
A historical place, one of the birthplaces of the future USSR.
14. House across the road from Leninsky. 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 no longer there.
Now a little about the countless bridges in these places.
16. View from the railway bridge over Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt. On the right is an apartment building built in 1913.
By the way, in the depths you can see the turret of that very Stalinist house that stands near Lanskaya.
17. View of this bridge from below, from Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Prospekt. There is no information about the 3-story house on Wikimapia.
18. Bridges over B. Sampsonievsky turn into bridges over Institutsky Lane, which goes deep into the park of the Forestry Technical Academy.
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 what this place looks like from the tracks. Below me is a bridge across Institutsky Lane.
21. The main 2-track turns towards the St. Petersburg-Finlyandsky station, and right in front of me there is a single-track junction from Lanskaya to Kushelevka, along which there is intense freight transit traffic to Vyborg and Scandinavia from the rest of Russia.
In the background you can see houses on Lesnoy Avenue.
22. Single-track jumper from Kushelevka to Lanskaya.
It must be said that from the side of the tracks this whole area looks completely different than from below.
23. Bridges over Zemledelcheskaya Street, along one of which a train ran from the direction of Vyborg. Immediately behind that bridge you can see houses along B. Sampsonievsky.
Speaking of houses:
24. Interesting house the apartment building of E. I. Heyderich, which stands in this quarter. Year of construction 1908.
There are generally a lot of beautiful houses here, especially those built by Stalin, and the main development of all the local neighborhoods was completed in the early and mid-20th century.
25. Residential building with attached premises. 1951-1953, architect V.F. Belov. It is located on the corner of 1st Murinsky and B. Sampsonievsky Avenue.
And right next to this house, the Vyborg-direction railway runs along the embankment and railway bridges.
26. Railway bridges across 1st Murinsky Avenue.
27. And these are the railway bridges over 1st Murinsky, along which there is an exit from the St. Petersburg-Finlyandsky station towards Kushelevka and further to Sosnovo or Lake Ladoga.
28. Found this on the net. What kind of bridge is this?
I assume that through B. Sampsonievsky.
29. View of the bridges from Lesnoy Avenue. 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 junction. 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 local streets, which looks unusual because in other cities roads and streets always turn off and bypass railways. Immediately everything stubbornly goes in its own direction.
30. Interesting photo 30s of the last century. Here you can clearly see the single-track bridge over Lesnoy Prospekt, which provides access from Kushelevka to Lanskaya. Behind the bridge you can see the park of the Forestry Technical Academy. But there are simply no bridges with a 2-way exit from St. Petersburg-Finlyandsky to Kushelevka (which are shown in the photo above).
In this connection, I assume that they were built either before the war or immediately after.
31. Photo from the 70s. Nothing changed.
Next comes the Lesnaya metro area and houses along Lesnoy Prospekt. This area directly borders the area of Lanskoy station.
32. Open joint-stock company “Design Bureau of Special Mechanical Engineering” (JSC “KBSM”). Development of fire weapons air defense(air defense) / aerospace defense (aerospace defense). Part of OJSC Air Defense Concern Almaz-Antey.
33. The building stands on Lesnoy Avenue and, judging by the style, was built before the war. It looks solid and monumental.
34. Across the road from it stands this house, typical of pre-war Leningrad.
35. “House of Specialists”, located on the corner of Lesnoy and Kantemirovskaya Street.
Built in 1934 - 1937 according to the design of architects G.A. Simonov, B.R. Rubanenko, T.D. Katsenelenbogen.
It stands out in the silhouette with a corner 7-story tower, on the facade of which from Lesnoy Avenue. The inscription from the time of the blockade has been restored: “Citizens! During shelling, this side of the street is the most dangerous.”
It turns out that the Germans reached even these places on the Vyborg side with their artillery. After all, this Northern part cities farthest from the front line.
36. This is the same place in the 60s.
37. 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 notable for the fact 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 well and this whole story with the erosion.
There is a lot more in this area and it will last for more than one post.
Lanskaya is a junction railway station in the historical Lanskaya district on a double-track electrified section of the Vyborg direction of the Oktyabrskaya Railway between the Finlyandsky station and Shuvalovo station. There is also a single track departing from the station (two tracks go only to the next station New Village) an electrified line to Sestroretsk, connecting to the main direction in Beloostrov and a connecting branch to the Kushelevka station (Priozerskoye and Irinovskoye directions). All electric trains traveling from Finlyandsky Station towards Vyborg and Sestroretsk, except high-speed ones, stop at the station. The station is located on an embankment; Serdobolskaya Street runs between the platforms of the two directions.
The station was opened in 1869 as part of the Finnish Railway. The first wooden station building was designed by the architect Wolmar Westling. The new stone four-story station building was built in 1910 by Finnish architect Bruno Granholm in the style of “national romanticism.” Currently located near the railway embankment, below the level of the track. In 1934, tracks from Novaya Derevnya were connected to the station, and it began to receive trains to Sestroretsk. Along with the electrification of the railway, high platforms were installed at the station by August 4, 1951. During the same period, the Lanskaya electrical substation was built next to the station. In 2003, the platforms and station were reconstructed.
Description
The station is located on an embankment, the tracks pass along 2 overpasses above Serdobolskaya Street. In the northern (even-numbered) neck of the station, the tracks pass along an overpass over Ispytateley Avenue and along an overpass over Lanskoye Highway. Immediately after the Lansky overpass, an odd-numbered path goes to 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 the Finlyandsky 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 the odd direction (to Vyborg and Sestroretsk) is located north of the overpass over Serdobolskaya Street. To the north of the overpass there is also an even-numbered path from Sestroretsk (it approaches the main passage even before the overpass over the Lanskoye Highway, and before joining the main passage it runs next to it). The even-numbered direction platform (to Finlyandsky Station) is located south of the overpass. From both platforms there are staircases leading down to the sidewalks of Serdobolskaya Street. There are 3 tracks at the station: two main ones, where electric trains arrive and one for freight trains, it can accommodate trains weighing up to 3,500 tons. This track branches off to Kushelevka south of the station.
At the end of the 1960s. The firewall of the house, facing the above-ground pavilion of the metro station, was decorated with the mosaic painting “Man and Stars,” created in 1966 by a graduate of the Leningrad State University of Art and Culture (now the A.L. Stieglitz Academy), artist Valentina Akimovna Anopova.
Having finished with the history of the Finland Station, we will board the train and go on a journey along the Finnish Railway of the early 20th century. On this imaginary trip we will visit the Finnish stations Kuokkalu, Kanneljärvi and some others; Let's get acquainted with the cities of Vyborg and Zelenogorsk, and the first stop on 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 ran 30 km from St. Petersburg, and the history of its origin takes us back to the distant Middle Ages. Then the borders of the Russian state were in contact with the kingdom of Sweden, and they were first outlined in 1323, in accordance with the provisions of the Orekhovets Peace Treaty. In subsequent years, Russia fought more than once with its 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. 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 ran along the Sestra River, starting at Gulf of Finland, after railway station“Beloostrov”, and continued all the way to Ladoga, ending overland a few kilometers from the village of Nikulyasy.
In the Sestroretsk Dunes, the border pillars installed on the border with Finland have been preserved. One of the stele-shaped structures made of pink rapakivi granite can be seen right on the beach, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland. This is border pillar No. 1, marking the border back in 1323. A cross is engraved on the pillar, on top of which in 1924 the inscription “USSR” was embossed. The second similar boundary pillar, No. 2, is located in a nearby green area, on the territory of the Dunes golf club. The date of its installation is stamped on the structure - 1910, and it then 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 border pillars remain one of the few witnesses to 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 Bolshoy 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 to 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: highway, bridge, street, railway station and historic district, who 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 beyond it belonged to the suburbs, consisting of increasingly popular holiday villages.
Among the famous representatives of the family, one can name Lieutenant General Alexander Dmitrievich Lansky, a chamberlain and a famous favorite of Empress Catherine II. The young and very handsome womanizer found himself at the Court quite early, was immediately noticed by the Empress, but used little of his influence on the Empress. Having lived only 26 years, A.D. Lanskoy, perhaps, simply did not have time to achieve the political power granted to other favorites of the reigning persons.
His cousin, Senator Major General Vasily Sergeevich Lanskoy, member of the State Council and Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Empire (1823–1827), distinguished himself both on the battlefield and in public administration, holding the position of minister, and previously 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 Internal Affairs, but in 1855, under Emperor Alexander II.
HELL. Lanskoy (artist D.G. Levitsky, 1782)
The Lansky surname was also noted in the literary community, however, in an unusual way. Cavalry General Pyotr Petrovich Lanskoy married the widow A.S. in 1844. Pushkin Natalya Nikolaevna, taking upon herself the care of the children of the deceased poet.
As you can see, most of the Lanskys were in one way or another connected with military service. Among them, Lieutenant General Sergei Nikolaevich Lanskoy, nephew of Senator V.S., stood out for his greatest courage. Lansky, who fought with the Russian army and fought under the leadership 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 Ottoman Empire, commanding the Belarusian Hussar Regiment of the Danube Army. During 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 class. With the beginning of the Patriotic War, Sergei Nikolaevich 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 at French city Kryon, S.N. Lanskoy commands a brigade and, covering the retreat of Prince M.S. Vorontsov, receives a mortal wound from which he dies a few hours later. The hero was buried on the banks of the Neman River in Grodno.
Land for building a manor on the Vyborg road was, of course, received from Empress Catherine the Great by Alexander Dmitrievich, from whom they went to Grand 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 on January 26, 1862, S.S. Lanskoy was awarded the title of count.
This 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 Lanskikh found himself 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 dachas, which the Lanskys did in 1889, while part of their vast estate was acquired by the Finnish Railway for its own needs.
Lanskaya station in 1911
The construction of the station was carried out simultaneously with the construction of the railway itself, which initially (the station opened in 1869) was located on the same level as the main city highways in this part of St. Petersburg. This, of course, created a lot of inconvenience local residents This somewhat deserted area, and with the increase in traffic, the road posed a danger to the entire structure of life in this rapidly growing area of the city. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, by 1910 the authorities and the Highway Directorate reconstructed the road, raising the roadbed on the embankment and installing two overpasses over Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt and Institutsky Lane, which have survived to this day, and two overpasses over Serdobolskaya Street. Further, behind the station, a fifth overpass was built over Lanskoye Highway.
The wooden building of the Lanskaya station, and it was 4th class, consisted of four rooms, an expedition hall, ladies room and telegraph premises. Two guardhouses were built at the station.
Lanskaya station at the beginning of the 20th century.
For 40 years, residents of houses in Lanskoye have put up with the close proximity of the railway. The poet Alexander Blok wrote on December 19, 1910: “... in Lesnoy. Semaphores are barely visible behind the snow. Trains are already running along a high embankment. Lanskaya is unrecognizable.” Let us not forget, however, that active construction and settlement of the Lansky territory took place already in the post-war period, when the existing residential areas 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 work here. The station platform was also built from wood, raising it above the level of the railway for ease of boarding and disembarking from cars. The currently existing two high reinforced concrete platforms (island and side) were built already in Soviet time, in 1951, during the electrification of this section of the road.
Fares in the summer of 1895
Due to natural reasons, the first station of the Lanskaya station was not preserved - by 1910 (1911) the wooden structure was replaced by a stone, more durable one. The author of the new four-story station was the Finnish architect Bruno Ferdinand Granholm. This remarkable Art Nouveau building, standing alone near the station, is now lost in the urban development. For some time, until the road was moved to an embankment, the new stone station was adjacent to the old wooden one. The well-preserved building is distinguished by window openings of different sizes characteristic of Art Nouveau, the “geometry” of the roof typical of Finnish national romanticism, and the general simplicity of the building makes it stand out among the specialized buildings of the Finnish Railway. As we will see later, this architectural trend will be repeated to one degree or another in some railway buildings of the Finnish Railway, some of which were lost during the years of military confrontations, but some, fortunately, have survived to this day.
Apartment house Koch
Throughout the 20th century. The railway tracks in the area of the Lanskaya station have been reconstructed several times. In 1934, it was connected to the Sestroretsk direction (via the Novaya Derevnya station), connecting Sestroretsk with the Finland Station. In addition, “Lanskaya” was connected to the “Kushelevka” station, located nearby, on a neighboring branch commuter service. All this made it possible to make the station an important transport node, capable of receiving, in addition to passenger trains, cargo trains.
Next to the railway there is a complex of residential buildings, consisting of three multi-storey buildings of different times and styles. At the address Serdobolskaya street, 1, there is an apartment building built in 1909–1910. civil engineer German Antonovich Koch in the neoclassical style. The engineer owned both the plot of 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. The Koch apartment building is connected with the life story of the Bolshevik leader V.I. Ulyanov (Lenin), as recalled by the 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 historical staircases of the house and the interior of the early 20th century. in an apartment belonging to the museum after reconstruction in the late 1950s. In 1967, a bust of Lenin by sculptor E.G. was unveiled in front of the house. Zakharov (architect V.F. Belov).
IN AND. Kurds
In 1997, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the facade of the house dedicated to the illustrator Valentin Ivanovich Kurdov, who lived in the house from 1959 to 1989. Work on illustrations for books for children by V.I. Kurdov began in 1927, after studying at the Higher Art 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- and post-war years, Kurdov created illustrations for books by L.N. Tolstoy, V.V. Bianchi, R. Kipling, W. Scott, I.S. Sokolova-Mikitova, N.I. Sladkov and other famous writers. For illustrations to Kipling's fairy tales, created in 1980, the artist received a diploma named after G.H. Andersen.
Koch's apartment building faces the railway, which is correct from the point of view of sound insulation of the apartments. Adjacent to the house on both sides are two later seven-story buildings: the western wing (1 Serdobolskaya Street), stretching along the railway, and the eastern wing, with its main façade facing Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt (house no. 108). Both buildings appeared here in the early 1950s. (built in 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 authors have designed a good solution for the passage into the courtyard in the form of a passage with two rows of columns, one of which separates the staircase of the main entrance.
By the way, next to the station there is a small Lansky garden - a green corner of the former Lansky dacha, partly occupied by a boarding school for deaf children, tracing its history back to the school for the deaf and dumb, founded in 1806 in Pavlovsk by Empress Maria Fedorovna. In St. Petersburg, the school building at 18/54 Gorokhovaya Street, reconstructed by architects D. Quadri (1817–1820) and P.S., has been preserved. Plavov (1844–1847). This specialized educational institution moved to the territory of the former count's estate (Engelsa Ave., 4) in 1969.
Has been preserved for a long time 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 territory of the Lansky tram park, there is a depot building. On the opposite side, behind Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospekt, lies the park of the Forestry Academy. Here, in close proximity to 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 (Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Ave., 99) - faces the road with its side facade. The building was built in 1907 by civil engineer Yu.Yu. Mercio. Apartment building (Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Ave., 93) technician A.I. Gavrilov built it here presumably in 1912. He built the three-story residential building next to it (Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Ave., 95) the following year.
The Park of the Forestry Academy also remembers the sensational story of the duel in 1825 between adjutant Vladimir Dmitrievich Novosiltsev and lieutenant of the Semenovsky Life Guards Regiment Konstantin Chernov. Here is how it was…
In the summer of 1824, the young and rich adjutant 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 Grigorievna Chernova, nee Radygina.
E.V. Novosiltseva
The general's family was not one of the noble and wealthy, unlike the Novosiltsev family - descendants of the Orlov counts. Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva, the mother of the hero-lover, was the daughter of Count Vladimir Grigorievich Orlov and Countess Elizaveta Ivanovna Stackelberg, so wealth and position in society were given to her by birth.
According to the St. Petersburg high society, the marriage of the aide-de-camp and the daughter of this general seemed unequal - Novosiltsev was waiting for a much more attractive match in terms of titles and finances.
But what had to happen happened - in August, Vladimir Dmitrievich and Ekaterina Pakhomovna got engaged, which the young man immediately informed his mother about. Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva immediately came out categorically against this marriage. As the mother tried to persuade her son, he eventually gave in to the 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 (aq. after 1826)
Understanding the impending threat, Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva tries to prevent this and reports the upcoming duel to Count F.V. Saken, her son’s immediate superior. The count, occupying a higher position, gives orders to Pakhom Kondratyevich Chernov to settle the matter peacefully and prevent his son from dueling with 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 simultaneously fell to the ground. 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. Catherine
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 crowd of friends and fellow soldiers. Like Ryleev, he participated in the activities of the Northern Secret Society, and his tragic death became a reason 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,” which was terrible in its appeals.
We swear on honor and Chernov:
Hostility and abuse of temporary workers,
The king to the trembling slaves,
Tyrants, ready to oppress us!No! not the sons of the fatherland -
Pets of the despicable aliens!
We are strangers to their arrogant families,
They are alienated from us.So, they don’t speak in Russian,
Saint Rus' is hated;
I hate them, I swear
I swear on my honor and Chernov!On our maidens, on our wives
Will you dare again, beloved of happiness,
Cast a glance full of voluptuousness, -
You will fall, struck by Perun.And your ashes will be laughed at!
And your grave will be a shame and disgrace!
We swear to our daughters and sisters:
Death, destruction, blood for desecration!And you, brother of our hearts,
A hero who grew cold so early,
Ascend to the heavenly limits:
Enviable, glorious is your end!Rejoice: you have been chosen by the Russian God
A sacred example for all of us!
You have been given a righteous crown!

In September 1988, a monument was unveiled at the site of the famous duel - a stele made of gray forged granite 2.5 m high. The author of the structure was the architect V.S. Vasilkovsky, and the idea of installing this memorial sign belonged to the director of the library of the Forestry Academy T.A. Zueva. The opening was attended by the descendants of K.P. Chernova.
This duel had another continuation. Ekaterina Vladimirovna Novosiltseva was very upset about the death of her son, realizing that everything that happened was her fault. She acquires a plot of land with an inn on the Vyborg highway, where her son spent the last hours of his life and died, and in his memory she decides to build a temple and an almshouse here. In 1842, the Orlovo-Novosiltsevsky charitable institution was opened on the Vyborg highway, housed in several buildings, with the single-altar church of St. Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir in the center of the ensemble. The small church, like the rest of the buildings, was built in the classicist style in 1834–1842. architect I.I. Charlemagne. The foundation stone of the temple took place on May 1, 1834, and on May 15, 1838, Metropolitan Philaret consecrated the building ready for worship.
Church of St. Prince Vladimir
The architect decided to enter the temple in the form of a classic Doric portico with four columns and triangular pediment. A three-tier bell tower, square at the bottom and round at the top, rose above the entrance, and the main volume of the church building was round, with a low dome topped with a cross. Main church hall decorated with 16 marble columns of the Ionic order; The architect decorated the under-dome space, divided into caissons, with rosettes. The artist A.K. worked on the images of the mahogany iconostasis. Vigi, and for the altar E.V. Novosiltseva purchased two paintings by M.N. at the exhibition. Vorobyov: “Jerusalem Temple” and “Chapel in Bethlehem”. All the stucco work in the church was done by the sculptor F. Toricelli, and the stained glass windows for the altar were made by Orlov’s Moscow workshop. Of the temple icons, three images can be noted: the “Exaltation” with a wooden cross and particles of the Tree of the Lord, as well as St. George the Victorious and the Mother of Sorrows, 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 among parishioners.
In March 1932, the church was closed, part of the confiscated property was transferred to the Russian Museum, part was destroyed, and a few months later the looted architectural monument was blown up. Some almshouse buildings have survived to this day - these are houses No. 1, 3 and 5 on Engels Avenue.
At this point we leave the Lanskaya station and continue our journey to Vyborg along the Finnish Railway.

The first wooden Lanskaya station, as we know, appeared by 1870 on the lands of the Lansky counts, as well as Lanskoye Highway - the shortest route to Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt and the city center. Nearby was the Imperial Forestry Academy. In her park, the famous duel took place in September 1825 between the lieutenant of the Semenovsky Life Guards Regiment, K. Chernov, and the adjutant wing, Lieutenant of the Life Guards 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 overtones. In 1834-1838, in memory of her son, Countess E. V. Novosiltseva, née Orlova, built the Prince of Vladimir Church on the site of his death and, in a complex with it, three almshouse buildings designed by the architect I. I. Charlemagne (Engels Ave., 1- 3-5).
Lanskaya station was rebuilt as the second to last station built by architect B. Granholm on this line. Its architecture and details are dominated by the rationalistic tendencies of Art Nouveau architecture with high quality finishing details. The building is two or three stories high, plastered, painted in two colors. The base is lined with granite. Facades of windows of various sizes and shapes along vertical axes, combining groups of windows with dark planes on a light background of walls, roofs of increased volumes, completed with a hipped or gabled and with a group of attic windows, bay windows, balconies. Characteristic is the fine devitrification of window fillings in their upper parts - a common technique in Art Nouveau, originally used by the Austrian architect J. Hoffmann.
The architecture of Lanskoy station is in the style of pure Art Nouveau, and only the gables and the corner tower indicate the romantic mood of the author. From the side of the platform, the building faces its level with the second floor of the service premises. This is due to the construction of a connecting line between the Finnish Railway and the Imperial Nikolaevskaya Railway. At the Lanskoy station, new tracks connected with the elevation of the Finnish Railway with the appearance of overpasses, providing interchanges within the city boundaries at different levels with Serdobolskaya Street, Lesnoy Prospekt, Bolshoi Sampsonievsky, Institutsky Lane, Zemledelchesky and others. From Lanskoy station there is a branch to Kushelevka station - the first station of the connecting line from the Finnish Railway.

Historical notes
For the attention of the Finnish Railways Office. dor.
As is known, the area located near the Lanskaya station, especially in the area of the Vyborg highway, last years heavily built up. The new stone and wooden houses consist of winter apartments occupied by all year round families of persons forced to be in St. Petersburg every day for work and business.
The fastest and most convenient connection to 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 closes.
Dozens of people interested in the continuity of communication contact our editorial office with requests to indicate ways to request a stop of local trains at the Lanskaya station 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 for the winter instead of the station without a staff of station employees and without ticket sales, following the example of the Grafskaya and Dibuny platforms.
Taking into account that the implementation of this request will not cause costs for the road, but on the contrary will give it a significant number of new annual and one-time passengers, we cannot but join this petition of the Lanskaya residents and hope that the Office of the Finnish Treasury railways, generally responsive to the convenience of the public, will not refuse a share of its attention here.
Residents of the entire Lanskoy district will thank him very much.
