History of the station

The railway in the city was opened at the very beginning of 1870, stretching from Yaroslavl to Sergiev Posad. From this moment the construction of roads in other directions begins. They had to connect Yaroslavl with Kostroma, Vologda and Rybinsk.

In 1898 a single-storey wooden station was built in Osvellje, the future Yaroslavl-Main railway station. If you look in the explanatory dictionary of V. Dal, we learn that the recollection is the beginning of the field, a place around the outskirts.

In 1913, they paved the way from Moscow to Vyatka through the station Vspilye. From that time it becomes the main one in the city and in 1916 it receives a new, more spacious building. In the 1920s, the square was set up in front of the railway station.

Gradually, the Vselje becomes the central station of the city. The building in which the station is now located, was put into operation in 1952. The architects were N. Panchenko and M. Shpotov. The style of the building is the neoclassicism or Stalinist empire that was popular at the time. In 1977 the train station was replenished with an underground passage and a building for ticket offices.

Yaroslavl-Main received its modern name in 1958. Complete design of the nearby square and adjacent buildings was completed by 1985. In 2008, reconstruction was carried out.
