Many people have “happy corners”, so-called “places of power”, where they indulge in bright memories from childhood and are mentally transported to that world that has passed into history, where they were once happy.
Some of the warmest memories of the author of this project are associated with his annual summer trips to relatives in Kyiv, the starting point of which was invariably the Kyiv railway station in Moscow. These memories are so permeated with positive emotions that even today, when you find yourself at this station or just walking through the Dorogomilovsky district surrounding it, those very joyful moments from childhood come to mind when you were looking forward to the upcoming “dear road”.
An unchanging tradition was the fact that on the day of the trip the author, as a rule, arrived at the station in advance, often several hours before the train departed. Free time was spent walking around the station and the surrounding area, buying gifts for Kyiv relatives, food and magazines for the trip, or simply sitting in the waiting room.
The day of departure was invariably a holiday, and preparation for the holiday, as we know, is often better than the holiday itself.
The purpose of this, to some extent very personal project of the author, is his visual story about his vision of the Kievsky railway station and the surrounding Dorogomilovsky district of Moscow, as his own “happy corner” and the starting point of that very “dear road” from his distant childhood.
