Makeshift cable car helps Russian villagers cross ice
(15 Dec 2018) Residents of Kazachyi Luga, a small village on an island by the Irkut river in the Siberian city of Irkutsk, have invented their own way of crossing the water when it turns to ice in the winter - a makeshift cable car.
With no official crossing established, residents have tightened a rope from one side of the shore to the other, using a collapsible cable car hanging from a pulley to transport themselves to and from home.
Of Kazachyi Luga's approximately 225 families, all use the makeshift cable car - including children and elderly.
Using the cable car has proved dangerous, as the cable rests at a height of about 10 metres (32 feet) above ground.
In the event of a fall, one risks landing on the hard ice surface or in the freezing water if the ice breaks.
While residents wait for city authorities to build a pedestrian bridge over the river - a promise that has not yet been fulfilled - accidents have occured.
Svetlana Shelofast, who lives in Kazachyi Luga, told the Associated Press that her grandson lost his balance when using the cable car, and fell down.
There was ice underneath him because (he landed) on a part of the river that was frozen, she said, adding He broke his elbow and his hip.
Another local resident, Yuriy Gorbashenko, said the word 'safety' is not applicable here at all, describing the situation as an entire disaster.

Historic 1958 KMZ Traction Elevator at Verkhnyaya Maslovka Street 23, Aeroport in Moscow, Russia
UPDATE: I have heard from The complex urban policy and the construction of the city of Moscow that they are going to demolish the 5-story apartment buildings as of 2017. This apartment building is probably going to be demolished soon :(.
This is totally amazing.
I bet Heritage Elevators, PostTower, FinnishElevatorFilmer1993, Finnish Liftours, TheFrenchElevatorChannel, mrmattandmrchay and lloyd999ify would like this!
The elevator shaft is real scenic but the elevator isn't scenic. Still beautiful.
This is worth coming in!
Notice the door with the intercom to the building is left open and it can't close so I managed to get in and film this elevator.
Sorry for the short take because I don't want to get busted by someone else who is living there.
I hope this elevator won't be replaced or modernized for a long time. It's got to stay original for a very long time.

SAPSAN:THE RUSSIAN BULLET TRAIN
Please watch: THE HERMITAGE | THE WINTER PALACE | ST PETERSBURG (RUSSIA)
--~--
SAPSAN:THE RUSSIAN BULLET TRAIN , Angels in Train.
On my way to from Saint Petersburg to Moscow in a first class of “Sapsan” (Saint Petersburg – Moscow) high-speed train.
The Sapsan (Russian: Сапсан, lit. 'Peregrine Falcon', known as Velaro RUS EVS) is a Russian gauge high speed electric express train. The train is a Siemens Velaro model, known as the Siemens Velaro RUS.
The trains started regular service on the Saint Petersburg–Moscow Railway in December 2009[1][2] at a maximum speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) (a new build high-speed line would allow for speeds of up to 350 km/h or 217 mph).
On 18 May 2006, Siemens and Russian Railways signed a €276 million order for eight high-speed trains[3] with a 30-year service contract worth around €300 million.[3]
OO gauge model railway featuring the Sapsan train on the Moscow – Saint Petersburg Railway and Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod Railway in the Museum of the Moscow Railway, Moscow.
The trains were ordered to connect Moscow with Saint Petersburg[4] and later Nizhny Novgorod at a speed of up to 250 km/h (155 mph). They are derived from the German ICE 3 train but with bodies widened by 330 mm (13 in) to 3,265 mm (10 ft 8.5 in) to suit Russia's wide loading gauge.[5] Four of the trains (EVS2) are equipped for both 3 kV DC and 25 kV 50 Hz AC operation. The total length of each ten-car train is 250 m (820 ft), carrying up to 600 passengers.
Development and construction was carried out by Siemens at Erlangen and Krefeld in Germany. In August 2009, it was announced that the fifth Sapsan had been delivered to Russia, of the eight that were planned.[6]
Four single-voltage (EVS1, 3 kV DC powered, trainsets 5-8) trains entered passenger service at the end of 2009 on the Moscow – St Petersburg route, with the dual-system trains (EVS2, trainsets 1-4) entering service on the Nizhny Novgorod route on 30 July 2010.[7]
Sapsan set records for the fastest train in Russia on 2 May 2009, travelling at 281 km/h (175 mph)[8] and on 7 May 2009, travelling at 290 km/h (180 mph).
On 19 December 2011, a €600 million order for an additional twenty trainsets including eight EVS2 sets[9] was signed in order to facilitate an increased number of services on existing lines and the expansion of new service elsewhere in the system.[10][11] The second-batch EVS1 sets (trainsets 9-20) will be same details as the first-batch EVS1 sets, but the second-batch EVS2 sets (trainsets 21 onward) will have retractable steps to suit for low platforms, unlike the first-batch EVS2 sets.
Since entering service in December 2009, it has been Russian Railways' only profitable passenger service, with an occupancy rate of 84.5%.[12] According to the timetable valid from 30 October 2011, the direct train from Moscow to St Petersburg without intermediate stops needs three hours 40 minutes, the train from Moscow to Nizhniy Novgorod three hours 55 minutes.
Introduction of Sapsan initially provoked cancelling of affordable daytime trains between Moscow and St Petersburg. Since the end of 2012, Moscow – St Petersburg daytime trains other than Sapsan were running again.
There were a series of stone throwing attacks against Sapsan trains. Possible reasons including cancelling of commuter trains, disruption of local transportation in rural areas, and accidents because of poor safety for pedestrians have been suggested.[13] New bridge crossings were built, platforms along the railway were reconstructed and additional track was completed in 2015. New Lastochka commuter trains were introduced on the Moscow – Tver[14] and St Petersburg – Bologoye routes. Local trains in the rural areas were saved.[15][16]
Sapsan is the fastest way to get from Moscow to Saint Petersburg or vice versa.
