In Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, the station where Anna dies is called Obiralovka.
Anna reaches the station after deciding that her relationship with Vronsky has become unbearable and that she can no longer find a place within the social world around her. She throws herself beneath a passing train, echoing the novel’s recurring imagery of railways, machinery, and fatal consequence.
Obiralovka was a real railway station near Moscow. After Anna Karenina was published, the station was renamed Zheleznodorozhnaya, meaning “Railway,” and it became associated with the novel’s tragic climax. Modern references may therefore use either the historical literary name or the later station name.
The location is often simplified in summaries as “a railway station near Moscow.” That description is broadly correct, but Obiralovka is the specific canonical name used in the novel.
