St. Petersburg–Glavny (Russian: Санкт-Петербург-Главный), is a railway station terminal in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
It is a terminus for the Saint Petersburg–Moscow Railway and other lines running from Central and South Russia, Crimea, Siberia and Eastern Ukraine.
[1] As Nicholas I of Russia was the reigning monarch and the greatest patron of railway construction in the realm, the station was named Nicholaevsky after him.
Rechristened Oktyabrsky to memorialize the October Revolution in 1924, the station was not given its present name until 1930.
Although large "Venetian" windows, two floors of Corinthian columns and a two-storey clocktower at the centre explicitly reference Italian Renaissance architecture, the building incorporates other features from a variety of periods and countries.
