It should be noted that this station doesn't have any facilities, so make sure you buy your food and go to the toilet before hopping unto the train! You can hitchhike here several meters before the busstop so that cars can pull over here. To reach this station you can take the suburban train which starts from Finliandsky (Финляндский) station which can be reached by the red metro line to Ploshad' Lenina (Пло́щадь Ле́нина).

This road will take you to the window M-11, going all the way to the Estonian border. If walking is too long for you (3.7 km), there is a proper bus nr 130 going there and also a trolleybus nr 37. the name of the stop where you have to startget off is Prospekt Marshala Zhukova (Проспект Маршала Жукова).  == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
It is better to start after the motorway crosses the circular roar. The station (by bus or by local train) you need is called Gorskaya (it is a bit farther that previous places), there go under the estacade and find a right place. Beginning before this place means you don't get any trucks that make the main traffic on this road. Before Zelenogork the most cars are local (especially on week-ends), try to get the one that goes farther.
=== South to [[Moscow]] ===
Take the metro to the station Kupchino and then bus 196 to the stop Moskovskaya Slavyanka. You can hitch from just before the bus stop. Traffic jams are frequent here, slowing down traffic enough to get a ride faster.
Another option is to get to the Victory Square (Ploshad Pobedy, Russian: Площадь Победы). The nearest metro station is Moskovskaya. It's the beginning of the road to Moscow (Moskovskoye Shosse), pretty easy to catch direct rides to the capital here. A sign saying Moscow might be useful.
