Beloostrov Station

The Beloostrov railway station in Sestroretsk served as a border crossing with Finland until 1940, where the border ran along the Sestra River, and the bridge over it was painted in two colors. Before the revolution, the station was a small wooden house with a bell on a low platform, and access to it was only possible with a special pass accompanied by border guards. The new station building, constructed according to the design of architect Vorobyov by 1934, was distinguished by its monumentality and strict adherence to style, and its facades were decorated with reliefs titled "Socialist Industry," "Railway Transport," and "Technical Education." After the war, the building was not restored, and by the mid-1950s, a standard brick station building appeared in its place.
