The Lansky substation was the first electrical substation constructed on the Finlyandsky Rail direct of Saint Peterburg, Russia. It is located within Lanskaya station.

In the early 1950s the electric substation was built behind the station. The project building, in the style of Socialist Classicism, is a low squat building crowned by a small turret with a spire. Electrification of a site of road has begun with a direction Leningrad-Zelenogorsk (now it is a part of direct Saint Petersburg Finlyandsky-Vyborg) in 1951. ^[1] The direction on station Finlyandsky Rail Terminal and Udelnaya station been electrified.
