Moskvitch 400

Here is a Moskvitch 400 car on a street in some small town not far from Moscow.




Since I wasn't able to photograph to the font of the vehicle, here is what it looks like on an earlier sighting.

Tupolev Tu-104

[Correction: this is not a Tu-104, it's a Tu-124, a smaller version].


Here is a Tupolev Tu-104 displayed at entry to the bridge over the river Volga at Kimry, somewhere in Russia.




Per wikipedia, The Tupolev Tu-104 was a twinjet medium-range narrow-body turbojet-powered Soviet airliner.

It was the second to enter in regular service and was the only jetliner operating in the world from 1956 to 1958 when Boeing finally came up with its first flying contraption of a jetliner.

In 1957, Czechoslovak Airlines – ČSA, (now Czech Airlines) became the first airline in the world to fly a route exclusively with jet airliners, using the Tu-104A variant between Prague and Moscow. In civil service, the Tu-104 carried over 90 million passengers with Aeroflot (then the world's largest airline), and a lesser number with ČSA.

Izh-412 (Moskvitch-412)

Izh-412 (Moskvitch-412).


The Izh 412 is the Moskvitch 412 model but produced by Izh at its Izhevsk plant, rather than by the Moskvitch factory in Moscow.


In orange which could be original.



The Izh-412 is a small family car produced by IZh in Izhevsk from 1967 to 1982 (also known as Izh-412), a near total copy of the Moskvitch 412.


White walls!


 As Moskvitch 412 it will be the number 6 on this blog but the number 3 as Izh 412.

Striped Train (3rd Trainset) - Moscow Metro Named Train

Here is the Striped Train (3rd Trainset), one of the Moscow Metro's trains named and decorated to commemorate or highlight an event or issue.


The Striped Train is the third striped trainset and highlights Amur tiger preservation I think.


It was spotted and ridden on on November 11, 2019.
