Zheleznodorozhny, Railway suburb in Moscow Oblast, Russia
Located 21 kilometers east of Moscow, Zheleznodorozhny extends across residential areas connected by two major railway stations, Kuchino and Zheleznodorozhnaya.
The settlement originated in 1861 as Obiralovka railway station, later expanding through mergers with nearby communities including Kuchino, Savvino, Temnikovo, and Sergeyevka.
The location gained literary recognition as the setting where Leo Tolstoy placed the final scene of his character Anna Karenina in the namesake novel.
In 2015, the territory of Zheleznodorozhny merged with the city of Balashikha, creating a larger administrative unit within the Moscow Oblast region.
Soviet Navy Vice Admiral Vasily Arkhipov, who helped prevent nuclear conflict during the Cuban Missile Crisis, resided in this suburb until 1998.
