  • Moscow Guide.Pdf
    Moscow Guide Neurolinguistics Laboratory 2016 How to get to Moscow from the airport There are two ways of getting from the airport to the city: taxi and train. Aeroexpress train We advise you to choose an aeroexpress train that goes to the metro station near to the center. This transport is faster and more reliable, especially during rush hours. Unfortunately, it is closed for several hours at night. You can buy tickets online at the website and at the airport at ticket machines or ticket office. You can also pay directly at the tourniquet with a Paypass or PayWave card (in this case you do not need to buy the tickets). For timetables, tickets and more information please see https://aeroexpress.ru/en.html Taxi We strongly advise you not to use the taxis that are offered at the airport, they are usually overpriced. The most convenient taxi services with mobile applications are Uber https://www.uber.com/ , Yandex Taxi https://taxi.yandex.ru/ , and Gett http://gett.com/ . If you are a first time Gett user, you can use a promocode GTPYNWK to get a 400rub bonus for your ride. All the services have special fixed tariffs for trips to and from airports. You can also prebook a taxi for a fixed airport-to-Moscow tariff. The prices range from 1500 to 2000r. The companies with websites in English are: https://mostaxi.ru/en/ , http://www.msk-taxi.ru/eng Getting around Except taxis (more information is given in the previous section) there are different types of public transport: underground transport called metro and surface transport (trams, buses, trolleybuses and marshrutkas).

  • Zetron Moves Moscow Metro Forward Acom Supports Light-Rail Communications Expansion
    Case Study Location: Moscow, Russia Product: Acom Zetron Moves Moscow Metro Forward Acom Supports Light-Rail Communications Expansion The Moscow Metro system has been moving passengers throughout Russia’s capital city since 1935. In recent years, the Moscow Metro network was extended outside of the city boundaries to the new urban development of Orekhovo-Borisovo- Severnoe in the south of Moscow. This light-rail line, known as the L19, runs from Ulitsa Starokachalovskaya to Bunninskaya Alleya. It is an extension of the longest line in the Metro network. Unlike the older parts of the Metro, this extension is entirely above ground. Moscow Metro often uses this extension to develop and test new technologies, such as those for lighting, seating, and communications. Once the technology has been refined and proven through this testing process, it is incorporated across the entire Moscow Metro system. The challenge When the time came for Moscow Metro to update the Supporting the system’s six sites communications system for the L19 Metro line, it chose RCI The communication system comprises six sites.

Glávnyj Universáĺnyj Magazín literally "main universal store") With the façade extending for 242 m. along the eastern side of Red Square, the Upper Trading Rows (GUM) were built between 1890 and 1893 by Alexander Pomerantsev (responsible for architecture) and Vladimir Shukhov (responsible for engineering). The trapezoidal building features a combination of elements of Russian medieval architecture and a steel framework and glass roof, a similar style to the great 19th-century railway stations of London. William Craft Brumfield described the GUM building as "a tribute both to Shukhov's design and to the technical proficiency of Russian architecture toward the end of the 19th century”. The glass-roofed design made the building unique at the time of construction. The roof, the diameter of which is 14 m., looks light, but it is a firm construction made of more than 50,000 metal pods (about 819 short tons (743 t), capable of supporting snowfall accumulation.

But as my friends have been here already and they loved their stay in Moscow I thought to give it a try. Entering Moscow as an International student came up with a rollercoaster of new learnings and experiences. The administration has been really supportive since day 1 from providing conveyance from airport to prompt email responses for any sort of queries! But I would like to request that incase of class cancellation or changes the administration should update us because for more than 5 times we have been waiting for the teacher outside our classroom and then we get to know after 15-20 minutes that our class has been cancelled. But I know that this issue can be and will be resolved by the administration. Well, being an international student in IBS-Moscow felt like being in my home, yes! This is how comfortable it is to be here. And the metro system here is a life saver! As far as studies are concerned, they are very smooth and more of based on practical demonstrations rather than only theory. I thought that maybe studies here would be tougher than my own university but no, it’s not the case.

Chapman, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 The social structure of the queue, from its most basic forms as a spontaneous group of people on the street, to the ordered lists of status-based priorities within society, leads to rich discussions on consumption, the behavior of crowds, and everyday life within Soviet society. By viewing how practices such as queuing were encoded in Soviet culture, the dissertation theorizes how everyday life was based on discourses of scarcity and abundance. I contend in my second chapter that second-world modernity was not predicated on the speed and calculation usually associated with modern life.

  • Foreword from the Head of Moscow Metro 3 Events of the Year 4
    Foreword from the head of Moscow Metro 3 Events of the year 4 Performance indicators 20 Metro staff 30 Development and technical upgrade 44 Safety and security 50 International activity 56 Future development 62 1 The year 2012 can certainly be described as a year of great accomplishments, including the opening of new stations, reconstruction of existing facilities and metro technical systems. This year we have introduced a new section “Novogireevo” – “Novokosino” on the Kalininskaya line”, that allows now quick, convenient and reliable mode of transport to be provided to almost 200,000 inhabitants of the district. Besides, the metro map shows the long-awaited station ”Alma-Atinskaya” on the Zamoskvoretskaya line and the station “Pyatnitskoye shosse” in the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Foreword from the head line. The future of Moscow transport system is unthinkable without development of the metro, which plays a key role in the city’s public transport of Moscow Metro system. The Moscow Metro management carries out all the changes planned and appointed by the Moscow Government by paying as much attention to the demand of Muscovites and guests of the capital as possible. By 2020, 67 new stations are planned to be constructed. At present, we prioritize the construction of the Exterior interchange circuit line with the phased commissioning of line sections, the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line from station “Maryina roshcha” to the northern areas of the city by 2015. Also the construction of the new Kozhukhovskaya line from the station “Aviamotornaya” to the station “Nekrasovka. By 2017, the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line will be formed and operated between the station “Novokosino” and the districts, Solntsevo and Novo-Peredelkino.
