Railway Station Forecourt: a black dome and a monument to the stratosphere fliers

Other places
Directions

The main decoration of the railway station forecourt in Saransk is the station building. The first station building was built here in 1893 when a railway from Moscow to Kazan passed through Saransk. Since that time the Saransk railway station has been reconstructed and rebuilt many times. Today's building with a black glass dome and red and white turrets was opened in 2009.

There is also a monument to the stratosphere fliers at the Railway Station Forecourt. The monument depicting an aviator is dedicated to the pilots of the aerostatic balloon "Osoaviakhim-1" who died in 1934. That time the three aerologist-engineers made the first in the world winter flight on the stratosphere up to 22 kilometers. However, when landing the balloon exploded.
