first commercial line in Russian Empire bulid polish company "Iron way Warsaw-Vienna" (Droga Żelazna Warszawsko-Wiedeńska). Line have 367 km. First train from Warsaw to Grodzisk Mazowiecki with Tsar's Viceroy general fieldmarschall Ivan Paszkiewicz was in 1846. All railroad (from Warsaw to Maczki (fontier with Ausrtrian Empire)) was competed in 1848. First Locomotives and wagons sell belgian Cockerill from Seraing. Today this Railway in polish railways system have number "one" (LK-1) First russian public commercial lokomotive had name " Warszawa" (Warsaw - capitol city in Poland). First russian public passanger lokomotive in Russian Empire had name "Rawka" (river in Poland). This lokomitives was in Russia Empire on railways (in bulding) in 1844. I po co wam były nasze rozbiory kacapy? :)
The film is surprisingly complimentary to Russian construction and labor practices, barely mentioning slave labor during the Lenin-Stalin era. The ER-200 train development started in 1967, commercial operation started in 1984, using only one (!) trainset until the early 1990s, when another trainset was built. Compare this to 60 (!) Shinkansen trains in operation in Japan by the end of the 1960s. Compare it to British Intercity 125, development of which started at about the same time, the first prototype was built in 1972, and commercial operation started in 1975; 95 sets have been built. My point is that by the early-1980s it became clear that Soviet railways started to lag behind not only Japan and France, but the UK and Sweden. This film, produced in 1992, does not even mention this. It did mention Kaganovich being against diesel-electric locomotives, and that's it.
Indeed, their ethics and dedication in committing a genocide and threaten world peace is really amazing. I'm sure some people hailed Nazi Germany's ethics in 1940 as well...
Interesting historical vid, but the "background" music is often too loud, drowning out the commentary. Hard to understand why some producers think this is appropriate. "Natural sound", even if not perfectly synchronised, is always the best.
Thank you for uploading Are you able to get upload any more episodes of Russia: The Missing years…this series ran from 92-94 and had many episodes which are very hard to locate,it’s a shame that such a masterful series is no longer available entirely

Wonderful documentary.
Russia and its history is absolutely amazing.
The work ethic and dedication is something the world can learn from.
