Privokzalnaya Square – a Meeting and Seeing-off Place

Other places

Privokzalnaya Square in Yaroslavl was formed in the 1920s near the Vspolye railway station. The square was then called Vspolyinskaya. A station building in the Stalinist Empire style, with a tower and a clock, appeared here in 1952. It looks especially elegant after having been renovated in the 2000s.

The statue of Savva Mamontov, a talented Russian entrepreneur and philanthropist, appeared on the square in 2008. He was one of those who helped to build the Moscow-Yaroslavl Railway in the 1860s. This route goes from Moscow through Sergiyev Posad to Yaroslavl and further to Vologda and Arkhangelsk. Mamontov was the major shareholder of this construction. The statue depicts Mamontov holding dividers and watch in his arms, symbols of construction and growth of the Russian economy. The railway connected the cities of Russia’s North with Moscow, the center of the empire. There are two granite slabs near the monument, one of which briefly describes Mamontov's life journey, and the other shows his railroad map. The pedestal of the monument also pictures the largest stations in the cities that stand on this road: Yaroslavlsky, Rybinsky and Vologodsky.
