 "You’d much better stay here and wait; perhaps the storm will blow over, and the sky becomes clear; then we shall be able to find the road by the help of the stars.” -- Alexander Pushkin

===============================================================
(in the Pushkinsky District of the federal city of St. Petersburg, Russia) The town of Pushkin is found some 24 kilometers (15 miles) south of the center of St. Petersburg -- and its railway station (Tsarskoye Selo). Pushkin was founded in 1710 as an imperial residence named Tsarskoye Selo ("Tsar's Village") and received the status of a town in 1808. The first public railways in Russia (Tsarskoye Selo Railways), were opened here in 1837, and connected the town to St. Petersburg. After the October Revolution (instrumental in the larger Russian Revolution of 1917–1923), the town was renamed Detskoye Selo ("Children's Village"). Its name was agin changed in 1937 to Pushkin to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. The town contains an ensemble of the 18th century "Tsarskoye Selo." This museum complex includes the Catherine Palace (featured here), Alexander Palace, and other buildings and associated parks. It is a major tourist attraction, and is included in the list of monuments that are protected by UNESCO.
