The Russians sem to build grand stations! Looking more like

an important municipal building or museum the huge frontage of Moscow's Kiyevsky station is seen from Europe Square. This is Moscow's only riverfront station with the Moskva River a short distance behind where I am standing. The station was constructed between 1914 and 1918 in the Byzantine Revival style, which is especially pronounced in the one hundred and sixty-seven feet high clocktower. Originally named the Bryansk station, it was designed by Ivan Rerberg and Vladimir Shukhov, and is considered an important landmark of architecture and engineering of the time. Out of view behind the steps, there was a huge amount of construction work taking place on Europe Square with an army of workers improving it and what appeared to be pedestrianising the whole area.
