history
Tscherusti was created in 1911 with the commissioning of the railway line from Lyubertsy to Arsamas , which branches off the Moscow – Ryazan line and is now one of the routes of the Trans-Siberian Railway in the area between Moscow and the Volga region . The new station was due to its location in the woods and moorland rich areas of Meschtschoraniederung initially mainly for the loading of wood used, so round the station quickly homes and a water tower, and in 1916 also created a school. The place name was borrowed from an old name for the area around the station. Their name, in turn, is of Turkish origin and means "Moor spirit".
In 1935 Cherusti received urban-type settlement status, and since 1956 it has been subordinate to the Shatura district.

Economy and Transport
Until the post-war years, Tscherusti was primarily important as a railway settlement. The station had a locomotive shed and was a regionally important hub, as two narrow-gauge lines, important for peat extraction, branched off from here . In 1960 the Lyubertsy – Arsamas line on the section between Lyubertsy and Cherusti was electrified, with the result that all long-distance trains from or to Moscow on this route had to change locomotives in Cherusti. This situation lasted until a further section of the line to Wekowka was electrified in 1986. Thereafter, the Tscherusti station lost its importance as a junction, the locomotive shed was later closed and the two narrow-gauge railways were shut down for passenger traffic. Today the station is only important as the end point of several daily local trains from Moscow. Regional trains Moscow – Wekowka also stop here, so that the Tscherusti station is served by a total of around 20 pairs of trains a day.
Since 1964, the metal processing company OAO Tscherusti has also been located in Tscherusti , which produces, among other things, scaffolding and freight elevators.
