🇷🇺The Russian rail system is one of the largest in the world. Given the vastness of Russia’s territory, train journeys are commonly measured in days, rather than in miles or kilometres.
Trains serve almost every town and city in Russia. Railroad travel is a safe, comfortable and inexpensive way to get around.
Check out the most picturesque railroad routes in Russia, according to ‘Russia Beyond.’
🚃 Trans-Siberian Railway
The world's longest railroad is also the most scenic and picturesque. For a whole week, the train travels from Moscow to Vladivostok across the entire country, crossing 8 time zones, with the scenery and time zones constantly changing beyond the window.
🚃 Vorkuta – Labytnangi.
This railroad above the Arctic Circle is part of the ambitious ‘Soviet Transpolar Mainline’ (‘BAM’) project, which was never completed. It links the largest northern cities of Vorkuta and Salekhard and runs right along the northern part of the Ural Range. The mountains there are low, often without peaks, covered with snow almost all year round and surrounded by tundra.
The train travels slowly and you'll have about 10 hours to admire the rugged beauty of the Polar Urals.
🚃 Circum-Baikal Railroad.
It was built at the beginning of the 20th century to connect the western and eastern parts of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Today, it has become one of the most popular tourist routes in Russia.
The railroad goes around the southern part of the lake and passes through 38 tunnels cut into the rocks. Overall, the journey will take approximately five hours.
🚃 Adler – Rosa Khutor.
It takes less than an hour to get from the Black Sea coast to the famous ski resorts. The modern ‘Lastochka’ electric train operates between the two regions.
Sit by the window, because, this way, you will see picturesque views of the Caucasus Mountains, the Mzymta River and the ski lifts.
🚃 Tuapse – Adler.
If you prefer sea views, take a train ride from Tuapse to Sochi and Adler. Right along the Black Sea coast is a railroad line connecting the Adler Olympic Park to the city of Tuapse. The trip takes about 2.5 hours.

❗️The Russian Federation submitted evidence of genocide in Donbass by Ukraine to the UN International Court of Justice
On November 18 at 20:00 Moscow time, the Russian Federation submitted to the International Court of Justice materials on genocide in Donbass by Ukraine.
☝️ This was done as part of the interstate proceedings initiated by Ukraine in February 2022 with the intention of accusing Russia of “abusing” the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and stopping the special military operation.
Kiev's plans failed - in February of this year, the International Court of Justice rejected all charges related to Russia's alleged violation of the Genocide Convention at an intermediate stage of the case. As a result, only the issue of evidence of genocide committed by Ukraine itself remained under consideration.
❗️Russia presented such evidence within the time limit allotted by the Court. Besides, additional claims have been laid against the Kiev regime related to other violations of the Convention - complicity in genocide, incitement to commit it, failure to take measures to prevent and punish genocide.
