The real adornment of the capital of Mordovia after a complete renovation in 2009 was building of the railway station. "Main gate" of the city of Saransk were built back in 1940, but over time the building is technically and morally obsolete, ceasing to meet all the requirements of passenger service. After the reconstruction of the station has more than doubled, becoming the basis of a new passenger terminal, as well as expand and ennoble station square.

Movement of trains in Saransk began in 1893 and today, through the station are more than a dozen trains in different directions, connecting the major cities of the country. A modern three-storey building of the station will delight equipment and comfort even the most demanding tourist. In addition to the basic conditions for comfortable waiting for a train and a service center with a personal touch directory, building adapted for people with disabilities.

Railway Station Square Saransk also pleasantly surprised by travelers. In 1963, the square was a monument to the heroes of Stratonavts, created by sculptor and architect A.N.Dushkinym A.A.Pismennym. Aspiration up a bronze figure of a young man on a high pedestal creates a sense of movement, flight. The history of the conquerors of the stratosphere began and ended in January 1934, when, rising to a height of 22 km. on the stratospheric "osoaviakhim-1", three young men became heroes of the country. During the descent stratospheric balloon, unable to bear the load, he crashed and fell to the ground. At the round pedestal knocked out the names of heroes buried in Red Square in Moscow. Also in honor of the heroes who pave the way into space, it has been named the streets of Saransk.
