I think flag and anthem are inappropriate here. Why do people always nationalize videos about Russia?They always have political elements. Just make the video about their great culture

[trmania]

@kate, my video's just about the great trains of Russia. I mentioned no politics.

[Arielesummers]

Thanks.  If you haven't already tried it, you should see it in HQ. It really is nice that way.

[martij91]

@MrMalyMisiu

it is ER-200, bulid in soviet Latvia, the first.. and the only high-speed train in USSR, max speed 200km/h

[Zillion43]

Russian and American steam locomotives look very similar and so do their whistels.

[splinterXX]

Nice pictures. Greetings from Slovakia where some of your locos (especially ČME3s) were built...

[slobhinav]

Russians train are much much better than American trains at least.

Though not close to Japan or Europe.....

[Ann0ynimouse]

@trmania. some of those are hardly Russian :-)

Example - 0:52, see model of loco "ЧС***" - that stands for ЧехоCловакия - CZechoSlovakia

After Marshall Plan came, eastern block also set Mutual Economic Help Council.

So, USSR focused on cargo electric locos (VL-** series after Vladimir Lenin) and CZechoSlovakia was assigned to build passenger electro loco's
