Sochi railway station ((ロシア語:Сочи)) is the largest of the four railway stations in Sochi, and one of the largest railway stations in Krasnodar Krai. It is part of North Caucasus Railway and located in the Tsentralny City District of Sochi. It was renovated for the 2014 Winter Olympics, alongside Sochi's three other railway stations: Dagomys, Matsesta and Khosta. ==History== The place for the construction of the railway terminal was defined in 1913, at the fairgrounds (now the Railway Station Square) in front of the city cemetery (now Zavokzalny memorial complex).〔''(Отрадная новость )'', Сочинский листок №92, 21 марта 1913 г.〕 The present, much larger building of the railway station was designed by Alexey Dushkin. Its construction was started on 13 September 1950 and completed on 10 September 1952, and the luggage section was added in 1956. In the 1950s Sochi played an important role in the Soviet Unions, being a major transit point from Russia to Georgia and the most popular health resort for a large number of ordinary citizens and Communist Party leaders, including Joseph Stalin. Consequently, the station construction was curated by an unusually large number of ministries, and by Stalin himself. While Dushkin's design was considered elegant by many curators, including Stalin, it was criticised by others for excessive costs. Dushkin built a twin version of the Sochi station in Simferopol in 1951.〔 In 1975, the Sochi station was included to the Russian list of architectural monuments of federal importance.〔(Железнодорожный вокзал станции “Сочи” ). sochi.com〕 File:SochiTrainstation1916.JPG|1916 File:Railway station Sochi 1939.jpg|1939 File:Железнодорожный вокзал (Сочи) 4.jpg|2012 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sochi railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
