15 years ago he was on every front page in Russia. The first high-speed train, the Sapsan, was launched between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Now you can get from the center of one capital to the center of another in less than four hours. In some areas, this comet accelerates to 250 km/h – something prohibitive for 2009.
Since 2015, more people are choosing this option over flying. 42% of trains on the route Moscow – St. Petersburg – well, you already guessed it. On the fifteenth anniversary of the project, which brings snickering Muscovites and arrogant St. Petersburg residents closer to each other, we remember the path that the fastest bird in Russia flew.
