As Russkiy Mir reported, last year domestic architects presented the Station Russia project in Venice. The pavilion was designed as a railway station. The author of the project was Alexey Shchusev. The exposition told about the most important events connected with the history of Russian railways. Projects of the most important railway stations of the country were exhibited in the central hall of the pavilion.
Visitors of Russian pavilion had the opportunity to get acquainted not only with the unique architecture of Russian stations, but also with the cities themselves and the nature of our country.
