P.S. Hi dear friends. My name is Merim.
I live in town of Zheleznodorozhny which is situated 23 km east of Moscow. The town of Zheleznodorozhny got its name in 1939 because its development was the result of unification of several villages and working settlements around the railway station which seems to have always been the centre of social life in this town. Near the station there was a market place and some inns. At that time the station was called Obiralovka, because there were many robbers who robbed rich people. In 1826 the station Obiralovka became widely know due to the publication of Leo Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina". It was at this station that Anna's life ended so tragically.
Today Zheleznodorozhny is a modern town with big supermarkets, department stores, stadiums, secondary and technical schools, kindergardens and cinemas. There are some beautiful parks in our town where people spend their free time. I am proud of my town.
The people of Zheleznodorozhny displayed courage and heroism in the grim years of the Great Patriotic War. Two of them, Gusarov and Sokolov, were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
