Apparently, the platform from which Lenin's funeral train departed in 1924 is being sold for half a billion roubles.

A railway station has been put up for sale on Avito. **Leninskaya (Gerasimovo) platform** on the Paveletsky line of the Moscow Railway, in the Domodedovo urban district of Moscow Oblast, is listed under the working title "railway station of 1954, Stalinist Empire style".

Opened on 5 November 1954, the station is regarded as an architectural landmark and is easily seen on the road to Domodedovo. The three-tier building, 37 metres high, is crowned with a 15-metre spire bearing a five-pointed star of golden glass.

The station has a unique history: until recently, a hundred metres from this building there stood (until it burned to the ground) a wooden memorial building, from which Lenin's funeral train had indeed departed, whereupon the station, built in 1898, was renamed from Gerasimovo to Leninskaya.

The little Empire-style station with its 24 encircling columns, kept as a memorial to Lenin's death, has long stood neglected and has been falling rapidly into decay, and now, it seems, someone especially enterprising has bought it up.
