landing / midflight (IMHO)
Definitions of landing on the Web:
- an intermediate platform in a staircase
- structure providing a place where boats can land people or goods
- the act of coming down to the earth (or other surface); "the plane made a smooth landing"; "his landing on his feet was catlike"
- the act of coming to land after a voyage
- A horizontal platform at midflight in a staircase. Most often necessary on stairs that change directions.

: I don't usually agree with two answers, but this is the most likely phrase, even though it doesn't literally translate the Russian.
