Kiyevsky railway terminal (Russian: Ки́евский вокза́л, Kievskiy vokzal, pronounced [ˈkʲi(j)ɪfskʲɪj vɐɡˈzaɫ]) also known as Moscow Kiyevskaya railway station (Russian: Москва́–Ки́евская, Moskva-Kievskaya) is one of the nine railway terminals of Moscow, Russia. It is the only railway station in Moscow to have a frontage on the Moskva River. The station is located at the Eurasia Square, in the beginning of Bolshaya Dorogomilovskaya Street in Dorogomilovo District of Moscow. A hub of the Moscow Metro is located nearby. As the name suggests, there were regular services to Kyiv (Kiev) and many other points in Ukraine. There used to be regular services to Belgrade, Zagreb, Varna, Bucharest, Sofia, Chișinău, Budapest, Prague, Vienna and Venice as well. 15-20 years ago, all these trains were canceled, some were transferred to the Belorussky railway station.
