It's a great station. There is a waiting room, an ATM, a coffee machine, self-service cash desks are also all there. The parking lot is small, however, it is often full. There are enough benches to sit on. There are stalls with goodies nearby. A public transport stop is a couple of minutes away. Everything is fine except the toilet. There's a horror there.
A cozy train station, friendly cashiers, there are a couple of good shops near the station, everything is illuminated at night and looks beautiful, so I advise you to stop by to see
Railway, Belarus" is the terminus of suburban trains on the Minsk-Molodechno line. From Minsk to Stadler-35min., by train- 38min.
The first station was built in 1891, and before that it was just a platform and since 1896 it was called "Izyaslavl", as well as the city in honor of Rogneda's son Prince Izyaslav of Polotsk.
Back in the 80s there was an old wooden station building, then a stone one was built. In 2014.by the Day of Belarusian Writing, the station building was reconstructed. Now it is a beautiful, modern complex.The station has acquired a modernized, lighter look with decorative elements personifying Belarus: a symbolic rainbow above the entrance with a Belarusian ornament, and on one of the walls - a historical panel.
In the waiting room, ceilings with mirrored inserts make the space brighter and lighter.Tickets can be purchased at the terminal or at the ticket offices. The station staff are always polite and friendly. Here you can relax by putting things in the luggage room, watch TV and drink coffee from the vending machine... There are sidewalks around the station, good outdoor lighting... And in summer you can sit on the terrace-there are many benches for waiting....
But if you have time, you can spend it more actively by visiting the historical sites of the ancient city: the ethnographic complex "Mlyn" is very close, a little further - the historical and ethnographic museum with the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary 1770. Then you can go to the old settlement,"Val", where in the 11th-12th centuries. there was a castle, and in 1577 the Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord was built in its place.-- a modern symbol of Zaslavl.
Then you can go to "Zamechek", where Rogneda and young Izyaslav lived among the forests and fields. And other places ......
Near the station, historical houses of the 18th century have been preserved, which until 1939 housed an artillery workshop, the commandant's office of border guards and houses where border guards lived . because the territory occupied by Poland began 10 km away. Since that time, the station was renamed "Belarus" because it turned out to be right at the border, and the usual picture at the station was passengers crossing the border back and forth, and border guards checking them.
WWII also left its imprints in the history of Zaslavl and the station. Already on June 25, 1941, the border guards fought fierce battles with the Nazis here, and on July 3, 1944. Soviet troops liberated the city and the station. There is a sign on the wall of the station about this.
It is also interesting that nowadays parts of the reactor for the Belarusian NPP were transported through the station "Belarus".
