Dnipro-Holovnyi is the main railway station of Dnipro. Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine.
History
[edit]The station was opened in 1884, called Ekaterinoslav.
July 20, 1926, the Presidium of the USSR Central Executive Committee of the city and station Ekaterinoslav was renamed to Dnipropetrovsk.[2]
During the Holodomor, British journalist Gareth Jones noted that it was filled with starving peasants desperate for food.[3]
During World War II the building was destroyed and in its place under the project of architect Alexey Dushkin in 1951 and built a new station building.
In 1976 a large monumental statue of Grigoriy Petrovsky, after whom the city was renamed in 1926, was erected on the square in front of the railway station.[4][5] This statue was destroyed by an angry mob on 29 January 2016.[4]
On 19 May 2016 the official name of Dnipropetrovsk was changed to Dnipro.[6] Hence the official name of the station was changed to Dnipro-Holovnyi.[7]
