Ground structures
The station pavilion was designed by architects M.K. Benois , A.I. Kubasov, F.F. Oleinik , engineer S.M. Epstein and is located on the square of the Baltic Station . The pavilion is attached directly to the east wing of the building of the Baltic Station and faces the six-columned porch-loggia to the forecourt.
Around the dome of the escalator hall there is an annular corridor that communicates with the station premises with ventilation hatches (access to the corridor is from the second floor).
Between the columns of the portico of the ground pavilion, in the niche behind the colonnade above the entrance doors, there are five bas-reliefs of prominent Russian naval commanders:
- Portrait of Admiral F.F. Ushakov . Sculptor V.V. Isaev
- Portrait of Admiral M.P. Lazarev . Sculptor A. A. Strekavin
- Portrait of Admiral V. A. Kornilov . Sculptor A.N. Chernitsky
- Portrait of Admiral P.S. Nakhimov . Sculptor R.K. Taurit
- Portrait of Admiral S. O. Makarov . Sculptor A. G. Ovsyannikov
The wall of the checkout hall is decorated with reliefs. When descending into the escalator hall, there could be a monument to Stalin against the background of the picture “Cruiser Aurora”.
The master plan for the development of St. Petersburg provides for the construction of a second exit to the building of the former Warsaw Station . These plans were first voiced in the late 1980s. It will be located in the underground pedestrian crossing west of the former Warsaw Station. At the “Baltic”, it will be released either through the current mosaic panel “1917”, or above one of the side halls [5] .
In early May 2008, the press reported the occurrence of large cracks in the pediment of the building. [6]
From May 15 to October 17, 2015, overhauls of the facades of the station pavilion were carried out [7] .

Underground Structures
“Baltiyskaya” - deep station columned station (depth ≈ 40 m). The underground hall was designed by architects M.K. Benois , A.I. Kubasov, F.F. Oleinik , engineer S.M. Epstein. The decoration of the station is dedicated to the theme of the power and glory of the Soviet Union as a great sea power.
The bluish-gray marble cladding of the station's underground hall recalls the harsh waters of the Baltic . The supports of the arches are decorated with half columns. The ribbed arch of the ceiling, bordered by two zigzag blue ribbons, is associated with a swollen sail. Decorative bars with images of anchors are installed on the doors of the track walls.
The end wall of the central underground hall is decorated with the mosaic “1917”, made according to the sketch of the artists G. I. Rublev and I. G. Rublev using the Florentine mosaic technique - the drawing is made of large pieces of marble and colored stones. The panel depicts the revolutionary Baltic sailors, together with workers and soldiers marching to storm the Winter Palace , in the background is the silhouette of the cruiser Aurora . Before the opening of the line, they wanted to depict JV Stalin surrounded by Baltic sailors, but this project was canceled. In addition, the architects wanted to put a map of the area in order to show on it a part of the Baltic Sea near Leningrad, which was also not implemented. During the construction of the second exit to the city panels, most likely, will be transferred.
An inclined course (exit from the station) containing three escalators is located at the southern end of the station.
