The ER200 was a Soviet electric train built in Riga by Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca. It was the first high-speed Direct Current intercity Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) with rheostatic brake. There were two designs. First in 1974 came the ER200-1 EMU which went into commercial operation in 1984. A 1992 design went into operation between Saint-Petersburg and Moscow in 1996.

ЭР200 (иногда встречается ЭР-200 — электропоезд рижский, с конструкционной скоростью 200 км/ч, заводское обозначение — 62-110) — советский скоростной электропоезд постоянного тока. Выпуcкался Рижским вагоностроительным заводом (латыш. Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca, RVR), который строил его совместно с Рижским электромашиностроительным заводом (латыш. Rīgas Elektromašinbūves Rūpnīca, RER, поставлял электрооборудование) при участии ряда научных институтов (МИИТ, ТИАСУР и др.). Регулярная эксплуатация электропоезда началась 1 марта 1984 года.
На железных дорогах СССР в 1965—1966 гг. был завершён комплекс работ по определению основных параметров подвижного состава с конструкционной скоростью 200—250 км/ч. В 1967 году было утверждено техническое задание на 14-вагонный электропоезд постоянного тока напряжением 3 кВ типа ЭР200. К выполнению этой работы были подключены научные и конструкторские подразделения промышленности. В общей сложности, в разработке и создании электропоезда ЭР200 участвовали коллективы более 50 научно-исследовательских институтов, проектных организаций и заводов.
В декабре 1973 года опытный электропоезд вышел из ворот Рижского вагоностроительного завода.
В 1974 году электропоезд поступил для обкатки и испытаний на скоростной полигон ВНИИЖТа Белореченская — Майкоп. Здесь, после заводской наладки и обкаточных испытаний со скоростями до 200 км/ч, в 1975 году были проведены комплексные приёмочные испытания. Испытания шли по двум основным программам: первая предусматривала исследования динамических ходовых показателей, вторая — изучение тягово-энергетических параметров. В 1975 году на перегоне Ханская — Белореченская впервые была достигнута скорость движения электропоезда 210 км/ч. Испытания показали, что основные тяговые и тормозные характеристики поезда соответствуют техническим условиям и по достигнутым на полигоне динамическим показателям при скоростях 200—210 км/ч он может быть допущен к продолжению комплексных испытаний на Октябрьской железной дороге.
После испытаний электропоезд был приписан в парк локомотивного депо Ленинград-Пассажирский-Московский (ТЧ-8) Октябрьской железной дороги. После строительства моторвагонного депо Санкт-Петербург-Московское (ТЧ-10) п. Металлострой в 2000 году был туда передан, где производится техническое обслуживание и текущий ремонт.
Испытания на Октябрьской дороге проводились в 1976 году.
Работа по проверке надежности ряда ответственных узлов в условиях эксплуатации, их модернизация и усиление велась около 6 лет. Перед началом постоянной эксплуатации поезда с пассажирами был произведён подъёмочный ремонт (ТР-3), была проведена повторная наладка систем поезда, устранены отдельные дефекты, выявленные ранее на скоростном полигоне. С 1 марта 1984 года электропоезд был поставлен на постоянную нитку в графике поездов.

I applied the globular modification to the lens by reversing the front element, creating these interesting spherical distortions.

After the Soviets crossed the Moltke bridge they began assaulting buildings, including the Ministry of the Interior. At dawn the Soviets successfully captured the Gestapo headquarters, but were forced to retreat after a heavy counter-attack by the Waffen-SS. The men of the Waffen-SS are now resting and preparing for the Soviet counter-attack.

ACS-1 Mig Clock
"The ACS-1 aircraft clock is one of the most fascinating clocks I have found, not only because of its military application, but also because of its complications.
It was made for the fastest and highest-flying Soviet/Russian fighter jet planes (such as MiG-23, MiG-25, MiG-29 and Su-27), original Russian Air Force issue, and produced by Molnija, Мопния, (Chelyabinsk Watch Factory), in Chelyabinsk, Челябинск, east of the Ural Mountains, about 1500 km. east of Moscow.
It has a timer and a seconds chronograph. The top dial shows the number of hours and minutes that, for example, the pilot has been in flight. The bottom dial shows the minutes and seconds elapsed, in a separate and independent stopwatch. I found the first two photos on the internet. The first photo shows where the clock was mounted in the aircraft."

Raketa "Big Zero" (Originally designed for visually impaired people)
Brand : Raketa ("Rocket")
Petrodvorets Watch Factory* (Leningrad / Saint Petersburg)
Model: Big Zero
Year: Middle 80'
Caliber: 2609.HA, hand-wound, 19 jewels
Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev wore a Big Zero, and on one occasion, when asked by Italian journalists what "perestroika" meant for Russia, he said that Russians wanted to start their lives from zero, and showed them the watch to illustrate his point.
The next day his photographs appeared on the papers with caption like, "The Russians are starting all over again from zero!"

Almost twenty years since shedding the Soviet yoke, Estonia still pulsates with the excitement and adrenaline of a fledgling state - and nowhere more so than in its dynamic capital Tallinn. After centuries of foreign rule, Estonians have finally got control of their country and they're determined to enjoy every minute of it. In fact, with the economy booming, cultural events rife, and a restaurant and nightlife scene that keep going from strength to strength, Tallinners have never had it better! Throw in a UNESCO-listed Old Town, a scattering of Gothic spires, a Medieval castle, Tsar's Palace and a couple of sandy beaches by the Baltic, and it's little wonder that us foreigners want a slice of the action too!

Area 120, Mongolia. Military building constructed 1982. The slogan reads: "Glory to Communist Party of Soviet Union". After 1955 when Khruschev condemned the ‘excesses’ of Stalin's Empire style, Soviet architecture became characterised by geometrical austerity.
Military buildings, faced typically with white silicate bricks, were built as economically as possible using simple standard designs.
From the book "After the Wall".
Turner prize-nominated artist Phil Collins has moved a Soviet-era statue of Friedrich Engels from Ukraine and permanently installed it in Manchester as part of the Manchester International Festival.
Turner Prize-nominated Collins has spent months trawling former Soviet states, including Ukraine and parts of Russia, to find the perfect decommissioned statue of Engels for the project.
The German political thinker moved to Manchester in 1842 and would go on to chronicle the appalling housing and working conditions suffered by its Victorian poor - including in Angel Meadow - to devastating effect, before penning the Communist manifesto with Karl Marx.
And, as Collins points out, though the philosopher’s life in Manchester is well studied and documented, there is no permanent marker to him in the city, no visual symbol of the man at all – despite the fact that his Manchester-forged thinking changed the course of 20th-century history
I was drawn to the faded blue-and-yellow paint of the Ukrainian flag on the legs. I assume that it was painted by Ukrainians following the fall of the Soviet regime in 1991
Noi Trotskii (1895-1940)
The striking 50m tower of the Kirovskii district soviet in Leningrad. Photo 1934.
Noi (Noah) Abramovich Trotsky (Russian: 1895 – 1940) was a renowned Soviet architect. Trotsky took art classes from the renowned painter Nicholas Roerich, graduated from the Academy of Arts in 1920 (then named "Petrograd Free Art Workshops") and 2nd Polytechnic in 1921. He also apprenticed with "Red Doric" architect Ivan Fomin around the same time.
Often cited for his turn from Constructivism towards Stalinist neo-Classicism in the 1930s, Trotsky's training under Fomin indicates a long familiarity with classical forms. The high point of his Constructivist work is probably the Kirov District Administration building of 1938.
Trotsky's best-known project is the House of Soviets in Saint Petersburg. At the year of its completion, the building was the largest office building in Saint Petersburg (then Leningrad). In March 1936, the Leningrad Soviet decided to relocate all the city's administration to a new site at the southern end of International Avenue. In open tender, Trotsky's project was selected over ten others. It was completed after Trotsky death, with co-authors Modest Shepilevsky and Yakov Lukin, and it features an impressive 11-meter-high frieze by Soviet sculptor Nikolai Tomsky.
He died in 1940 and is buried at the Volkovo Cemetery in Saint Petersburg.
