Uschod
Uschod is a Minsk Metro station in Belarus. It was opened on 30 December 1986. The station's name not only implies its geographical location, as it was the easternmost station of Minsk Metro for more than 20 years, but also its connotation with the Vostok space programme that ultimately led to the first crewed spaceflight.| Tap on a place to explore it |
