Talk:Finland Rail Terminal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re FINLAND STATION. Well, that was about time. I have always wondered how long it would take Wikipedia to give it the right name. So what if it is called Finland Station in all history books. So what if this term has come to mean much more in the English language than a Russian railway station. Lenin didn't arrive in St. Petersburg, Florida, after all. He arrived in St. Petersburg, Russia. So it is only right if we call the station by its true Russian name: Finlyandsky Rail Terminal.--BZ(Bruno Zollinger) 09:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually вокзал means railway station, however it does imply a large railway station. "Finland Rail Terminal" hardly trips off the tongue, and isn't the name that the majority of the English speaking world know it by.

[edit] Ownership?

Who was the owner of the station, Finnish State Railways or Russian Railways? -- Petri Krohn 20:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
