The Russian word for a railway station is Vokzal, which is a corruption of Vauxhall, a suburb of London. The story goes that a group of Russian engineers came to London in the 1840's to study the first railways and were shown around Vauxhall station, and thought "Vauxhall" was a generic name for the building, not the area it served.
(An alternative explanation is that it came from Vauxhall pleasure gardens, which were imitated in Russia with Vokzal becoming a generic term for an amusement park and the name then travelled to railway stations after the first line in Russia ran from St Petersburg to a Vokzal outside the city. Take your pick, but it's still Vauxhall)
Wow. I knew Donetsk was founded by a Welshman and the local geographic terms are calques of some anglophone names, but... wow ! Tsarist Russia seems to have had more contact with the British isles than visible at first glance...
A lot of Russian names for technology tend to be this for either British or French usages, you find some really odd ones if you look through a dictionary for a while.
