ПОЖАЛУЙСТА ПЕРЕВЕДИТЕ ЧТОБЫ БЫЛО ВСЕ ПОНЯТНО И СО СМЫСЛОМ! Tver is a regional center to the north of Moscow, and is where trains running from Moscow to Saint Petersburg make their first stop. Right at the railway station one gets acquainted with the idea of Russian regularity. The railway station building erected in 1850 is similar to many other significant stations. It was designed by Konstantin Thon, the architect of the original Chirst the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow, and is just like the ones built in Klin, Bologoe and Malay Vishera. The similarity between these stations was almost absolute in the middle of the 19th century. It was an ambitious attempt to standardize towns. Right before Catherine II initiated the process of planning the Russian towns both large and small. Tver was among the first in this process. The master plan was created and implemented in Tver after a large fire of the town. For about a century Tver was a proper-looking town, as it was understood in Russia in those days. The lay-out included the central square and three main avenues forming a trident. In the square there was a Tsar’s Travel Palace erected according to the plan by Matvei Kazakov who also designed the Petrovsky Palace in Moscow and the old building of the Moscow State University. The Travel Palace of Tver is quite modest but still beautiful and has been the main attraction in Tver ever since.
