History

Astapovo railway station, built in 1890 on the intersection of the KozlovVolovo and MoscowYelets routes,[citation needed] was named after a nearby selo of Astapovo (Аста́пово), which was founded no later than the mid-17th century.[5] The name derives from the masculine first name Ostap.[5] On November 7, 1910, the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy fell ill at the Astapovo station and died here.[5] To commemorate this event, the station was renamed Lva Tolstogo (Льва Толсто́го) in 1918.[5] In 1932, the name of the station and of the settlement was changed to its modern form.[5]
