Russia (train)

The history of the country's main train is inextricably linked with the history of the development of Siberia and the Far East and the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway . In 1916, after the construction of the bridge over the Amur River in Khabarovsk was completed , direct passenger service began from Moscow to Vladivostok .

Named train "Russia" went on its first flight September 30, 1966 .

The external color of the cars periodically changed. During the years of the Soviet Union, it was cherry with large metal letters, then red, raspberry, green.

Until 2001, the Rossiya train ran along the main passage of the Trans-Siberian Railway (through Yaroslavl ). From June 2001 to the present, the movement has been carried out along the Gorky route (via Fryazevo , Vladimir and Nizhny Novgorod ).

Since 2000, the wagons of the Rossiya train have been painted the color of the Russian flag with a stencil of the coat of arms of Russia .

Until 1993, the train ran daily. With the introduction of the summer schedule in 1993, "Russia" began to go every other day in odd numbers.

Previously, the train had No. 1/2 .
