Another train dedicated to one of the most violent battles of the World War II is"The Battle of Kursk" which reminds of the participation of the armored train in the defense.
Not only military pages of Russian history are lit in Moscow underground. "Red Arrow -75" was launched to commemorate 75 anniversary of de luxe train which circulates Moscow-St. Petersburg and used to be the fastest train before Sapsan's emergence.
