Moscow museum tram Tatra T3SU 481


Москва, музейный трамвай Tatra T3SU 481 6 декабря 2009 в Москве осуществлялась перегонка нового музейного трамвая Tatra T3SU №481. Он был востановлен в 2007-2009 годах на ТРЗ, из старого кузова, который стоял в Октябрьском депо, и нескольких других вагонов. Выглядит он как Татра первых поставок, после капитального ремонта на заводе СВАРЗ. Реставрация ещё не закончена, поэтому некоторые резинки и пласмаски там ещё не такие, как надо. Проехал он по маршруту ТРЗ – Новослободская – Сокольники – Ростокино – Семёновская – Метрогородок – депо им. Русакова.

The Capital of Russia is Moscow

is the capital of Russia and the country’s economic, educational, financial, and transportation centre. It sits on the Moskva River. In 2006, Forbes magazine ranked Moscow as having the highest number of billionaires in the world. Thirty-three of Russia’s 36 billionaires live in the city.


Moscow possesses a large number of various sport facilities and over 500 Olympic champions lived in the city by 2005. Moscow is home to sixty-three stadiums and eight football and eleven light athletics manages, of which Luzhniki Stadium is the largest and the 4th biggest in Europe. Forty other sport complexes are located within the city, including twenty-four with artificial ice.


One aspect of the city remains constant and that is The winter are harsh in the city of Moscow. Despite the bitter cold, there is nothing so beautiful as to see the St Basil’s Cathedral in the falling snow.


Despite the long nights and cold weather, in recent years Moscow has become a 24-hour city. The range of chic bars, clubs and live entertainment on offer is extensive. Most places operate a strict door policing. Lap dancing bars have become extremely popular too and going to them, for men and women, is far more acceptable than it might be in other cities in Europe.


The shopping centres and outlets for chic brands such as Tiffany, Gucci, Rolex and Vertu have proliferated thanks to their appeal to the obscenely rich and the inspirational middle-classes. 14 Tverskaya was built in the 1880s as a nobleman’s palace, it was turned into a shop in 1901, which has somehow managed to survive huge political and economic turmoil to retain many of its original features such as curling marble pillars, mahogany shelving and candelabras. It is now owned by an upmarket supermarket chain.


The Kremlin at the centre of Moscow is an outstanding historical building and architectural monument that serves as a symbol for the whole of Russia. In 1970-1980s the unique restoration works took place in the Kremlin. And in 1990 it was included in the World Cultural Heritage List of UNESCO.


Red Square is a large open square in the centre of Moscow. It is located in front of the Kremlin’s western wall. The square is fenced in the State Historical Museum building, the GUM building, and St. Basil Cathedral. For many centuries Red Square has served as the place for important historical events. It became the burial place of Vladimir Lenin. In 1929-1930 the Mausoleum was rebuilt in stone, and in 1930-1931 the rostrums above the Mausoleum were constructed after architect V. Frantsuz’s design.

Moscow Has a Population of Nine Million

Moscow is the capital of Russia. Moscow is in the western European part of Russia several hundred kilometres from its borders with Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States and Finland with more than 90 percent of the motherland stretching east all the way to the Pacific Ocean.


With a population of nine million it is the countries most populous city. The countries capital is economic, financial, educational, and transportation centre.


The first mentioning of Moscow as a settlement in the annals of history dates back to 1147.


Moscow boasts a large scale if rather dilapidated Public Transport System, including a very fast and comprehensive Metro System, and numerous bus, minibus, trolleybus and tram routes. Russian public transport does not work to timetables, but is reasonably reliable, frequent and cheap.


Moscow is not only a popular destination for visitors with famous places such as the Kremlin and Red Square but also with business people who recognise an opportunity to realise new ambitions.


The Kremlin founded in the 12th century by Prince Yury Dolgoruky and now a mass of crenellated ramparts, glittering onion domes and majestic turrets. It is now the spiritual, political and historical heart of Moscow.


Red Square the oldest and most historical square in the city, and home to some of Moscows most famous landmarks the pompous Lenin Mausoleum and the wonderful brightly collared onion domes of St Basils Cathedral.


The city turns into party central after dark, with all sorts of pubs, cafes, clubs and live music places from ridiculously expensive to dirt cheap. Popular clubs often have a face control operated by doormen so get advice before wasting your time.


Russian Winter is celebrated with traditional activities such as music, dance, sleigh rides and folk shows in Izmailovo Park. New Years Eve tends to be a family and friends occasion, so not wildly exciting.


Summers are hot and winters very cold by Western European standards. Temperatures range from a pleasant 22 to 28 degrees during August to a bitter minus10 to minus 20 during January, usually the coldest month of the year. The winter is long and hard with almost constant snow and ice from October right through to March. Rainfall levels peak during July and August, averaging 72 to 78 millimetres per day. Spring and autumn are both mild and fleeting and summer is undoubtedly the most popular time to visit the city amongst foreign tourists.


Have a great time.
