Pochaina

Pochaina railway station is a train station in the Petrivka neighborhood of Kyiv, next to the Dnieper River, on the Kyiv Urban Electric Train Line. The railway station is an aboveground train station and rail yard within walking distance of the underground Pochaina metro station for connecting services on the Obolonsko–Teremkivska line. Pochaina and its adjacent metro station are named after the ancient and almost-mythical Pochaina River, the location of the historical Baptism of Kyiv. Pochaina was formerly called the Petrivka railway station, named after Grigory Petrovsky, a key figure in the Communist politics of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. On March 27, 2018, the Kyiv City Council changed the name of Petrivka Station to Pochaina Station. The Council is currently engaged in a practice of renaming metro and train stations, city roads, and other forms of infrastructure that were previously named after Communist figures. The railway bridge from Pochaina station to Troyeshchyna station was also recently renamed "Rybalsky railway bridge."
