The train’s design aims to familiarise users with the history of Russian cinema, and to this end its carriages will be transformed into mobile exhibitions, displaying rare photographs and stills, together with old Russian and Soviet film posters.

In addition, the Moscow metro is marking the Year of Cinema with specially designed tickets.
