Belorusskaya, Metro station in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia
Belorusskaya is a metro station in the Tverskoy District of Moscow, built with an island platform between two tracks. White marble columns run along both sides of the hall and support a ceiling covered in ornate plaster work.
The station opened on September 11, 1938, as part of the second construction phase of the Moscow Metro. It was named after the nearby Belorussky Rail Terminal, which had already been a major departure point for trains heading west.
Twelve octagonal mosaic panels in the ceiling show scenes of everyday life in Belarus, made by artists G. Opryshko, S. Volkov, and I. Morozov. The images depict harvests, music, and communal life, visible clearly as you walk along the platform.
The station sits next to Belorussky Rail Terminal, making it a practical stop for travelers connecting to long-distance trains. If you are switching metro lines here, follow the signs carefully since the transfer corridor is long and branches in several directions.
In the transfer corridor between the two metro lines stands a sculpture group known as Belarusian Partisans, showing an elder, a woman, and a young boy. The group was placed there to honor civilian resistance during World War II and has since become a common meeting point for passengers.
