- In this video I will take a 9 hour trip to Belarus on a Russian train. Would you like to know what it is like to travel a 3rd class carriage? So I invite you for a video trip. To a trip on a Russian sleeper train. Russians call this type of carriage a PLATZKART. It's an open carriage. Compartments are not having doors. And there are 2 side seats.
And you can use this video as a Russian train guide. Next time you are in Russia, you can take a train trip. You will know what to do.

Would you like a night trip in a plazkart carriage?
Sure if you were my tour guide and translator 😉🤔😁
@@danielbarrows7144 ☺
Would be a cool experience minus the snorring 😃
Yes but I would like the closed doors. I can't complain about other peoples snoring because I think I do sometimes😂!
@@alashiadiggs6006 That's too cute Alashia! You "think" you do.. LOL! 😆💕
On a foggy morning in late November, a train from Warsaw arrives into St. Petersburg. Two men in third class strike up a conversation. . One is Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a fair-haired man with a white beard and blue eyes. That Vitebsk train station where you have taken the video is like from the F. Dostoyevsky's novel "The Idiot." in 1868
I’m feeling sick today & what a treat to be watching your video in bed❤️❤️ Love it!
♥️
I hope you will get better soon!
What a beautiful train station. So much character and history. Your video makes me feel like I have actually taken a trip with you. I love the snow also. Thank you for all of your videos, and I look forward to your next one.
I'm always ready to try something different. To me it looks like a great experience other than having to make up my bed.
Thanks again for another vignette of Russian life.
That is the cleanest bathroom I've ever seen on any Russian or east European train of all the trips that I've taken on them ..
What a beautiful station in S. Petersburg ! Thank you for show it.
I have been on these trains there are very nice and I always had good conversation and tea. The carriage attendants were always well dressed.
Omg….I could not sleep either…no way…the breathing and snoring 🥴
This video reminds me of the overnight train trips I took in Eastern Europe. I enjoyed this train ride with you.
Hello and Happy New Year from Missouri, USA.! I wanted you to know how very much I enjoy your videos :) I am 65 years old and have lived in several states here, but have never had the opportunity to travel to other countries. Every Country in the World has its' own unique beauty and customs and wonderful people like you! Thank you so very much for sharing your homeland.....the scenery and beautiful architecture are incredible. I look forward to every video. :)
The station is beautiful. I would not be able to sleep on the train. I would not be comfortable enough surrounded by strangers. It is so interesting to see how others live and what is common to them. So glad you made it safely!
Your English is amazing 🤩. You even have said the word “6th sixth” perfectly. I appreciate seeing the station. Thank you. My great-grandfather was a prison guard at the border. We were from Minsk. He left (probably in the same train station?) in 1906, two years after being built. What a beautiful sight it must’ve been. Wonderful videos you make !
Thank you for the train ride. I would not have been able to sleep either, to much going on and I would not be comfortable in a strange place to sleep. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family!!!
Happy New Year! Have a lovely time in Belarus.
Thanks for taking us with you on your train journey. Very interesting. I have never travelled on a "sleeper" carriage, but I always travel with earplugs with me. You never know what noises you will hear in the night!
I enjoyed riding the train with you! The train station is beautiful too. Looking forward to your next video, after you catch up on your sleep.
Thank you. I love that you put bitsof History in your videos. Beautiful train station.
Cozy sleeping quarters😉
Wonderful railway station (it couldn't have been otherwise in Saint Petersburg) and also the train is fantastic. Great service and cleanliness. I must affirm that your railway system is good. Thank you for this beautiful video. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year full of happiness, joy and health
Have a great trip and Happy visit with Family!!!
These are the type of videos I enjoy. I'd never see this authenticity in regular media.
I agree. That’s why I also like watching vlogs from different countries.
Thank you so much!
That was a beautiful train station! Thank you for showing us the set up for traveling in a plazkart carriage. It was quite interesting. I don’t think I could sleep well either. I enjoy all your videos. Greetings from Wisconsin USA🇺🇸
That's a very interesting video Ksenia! Thank you for making it!! 😀I am impressed by the clean, well maintained train with all the things you need for your trip. Pretty great way to travel without too much cost. I hope you have a nice holiday in Belarus. Happy New Year!!
I love how quiet and calm the atmosphere in this 3rd class is.
Happy New Year! Great train station! Wow 9 hours on a train!
That was very interesting. I love old railway stations and train journeys. You get a sense of change and progress. For short distances, it's much better and more eco than than sitting in an aluminium tube.
Hello my dear friend!
I loved that train ride!!
Trains & Slavic culture ❤️🌹❤️
Your train trip reminds me of the movie Dr. Zchivago. One of my favorite books and movies
I agree with you."Dr.Zhivago"is one of the all time greatest movies.
Great video
Very interesting to see a train ride in Russia, Thanks Ksenia. By the way, your make up look beautiful!
It seems that there's no such thing a short train ride in Russia lol! 😊👍👍
Thank you for another great video I love this as I love train travel, I loved being able to see inside your train and see the difference compared to here in Australia. Train travel can be quite common as a way to get around the country here and also as a mode of transport in the major cities between suburbs. Sending you best wishes for a happy New year for you and your family! it's so lovely you got time off and be able to go and see them. Thank you for all your videos that you've shared throughout the year and I look forward to next year and seeing more about your country and your life in Russia.
Hi Australia from South Wales U.K 😊
@@dianebaker5243 hello, isnt it wonderful how this beautiful Russian woman brings people from different countries together. i work in aged care and have residents from Wales. they love Tom Jones lol
Thank you for all of your videos The station is beautiful.
It is so interesting to see how others live and what is common to them. So glad you made it safely!
Wow you still have trains!!There are very few trains in US and your train was very nice..The tea glass was beautiful..I think in US, it would probably be a paper cup😁..The train station was Amazing ❤️..I love your videos...give us more...Many Blessings and much love from Alabama USA..👩🦳🌺💖
Excellent informative video I enjoyed watching it. I have traveled many times by train and for me it’s a great way to see the country and meet people.👍😁😁😁😁😁🚂🇬🇧
Thank you! Thank you! For showing us Russia and being so descriptive! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Ksenia! Health, joy, peace and love to you and your family and friends. Thanks for all your videos!
Wowwww I love when you take us trips with you. Ksenia you should travel more. What a great vintage station. Happy New Year and all the best!
One of my favorite TH-camrs (Ksenia!) does one of my favorite TH-cam genres (train trips!).
I have watched some other TH-camrs take this train, but they are always in the Kupe class. It was good to see what Platzkart is like.
Thank you so much!
Nice 👍🙂 train ride♥️ adventure enjoying fr jamaica 😎🌅🌞🏖️
That was excellent! I love trains, & have taken many trips in them in the USA, the UK, & in Europe, but never in Russia. I always wanted to take the Trans-Siberian train, but didn’t get a chance.
This was very interesting. Thank you! 👍🏻❄️🙋♀️🥂❄️☃️
Lovely Beaux-Arts and Art Nouveau Ironwork👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Lovely video loved the train station. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you and your family a healthy happy new year for 2022.🥰👍
Safe travels Ksenia 😊
I POSTED MY FIRST COMMENT AFTER YOU SAID THE WORD 'PLATFORM'...LOL...THE SECOND WORD YOU NEEDED WAS IN THE BATHROOM - THE 'THING' IS A 'RECEPTACLE'...THANKYOU FOR YOUR TRIP VLOG...BLESSINGS, VANCOUVER, CANADA...;)
I'm happy you can go visit your family for the New Years celebration. I myself never been on a train here in America. When I visit my sister in New York we generally drive which also is a 9 hour trip or fly which is not to bad.
What a beautiful train station. Thank you for sharing your journey to your Mothers home town. Enjoy your stay. Happy New Year and a very Happy Christmas to you and your family. 🎉🍾 🎄☦️🎄
Very interesting ksenia. Different to our english trains
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL train station!!! Gratitude for sharing! Enjoyed every minute of this journey! Have a wonderful holiday with your family
🎄💛🎄
Happy New Year Ksenia! From Colin 🎅🤶🧑🎄
Xenia, enjoy the time with your mum & family and have a good New Year! We also celebrate big time the coming of New Year. On St. Sylvester the family gathers, we exchange wishes and gifts. For me this year is not so happy because my mum is sick. I try to stay positive and I cherish every moment with her. Thanks!
Merry Christmas 🕊🎄🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢Albino Geese 😹😹
Very interesting. I spent 19 hours on an Amtrak train recently traveling from Philadelphia to Cincinnati. I was in a Roomette, which is somewhat like your train except it has a door. On my trip the meals were provided as part of the fare, and were brought to my Roomette by an attendant.
I always carry ear plugs in my purse when I travel overnight. Guarantees a good night’s rest.
Petra You're Great ❣️🤗
Thank you for sharing this.. The train station is beautiful. I would love to travel train with you.. 🐶Cdog 🐶
Ksenia, you are great
I really enjoyed watching your journey on the train. My husband worked for the railroad in the USA and whenever we travelled we would ride the trains as much as possible so he could see how they are different. I will show him your video. Happy New Year!
A big hello and Happy New Year from Paula & Petra. We so enjoyed your train video. Actually felt as if we were riding along with you. Take care & enjoy your family time with Mother & Brother!
I don’t ever comment, but I loved this. I found it fascinating.
Ксения, классный канал, очень позитивный!
Благодарю!
I love your videos! They are all great, and I am learning so much. Thank you for sharing all your adventures. I hope to visit Russia someday (my grandfather was from Belarus!), but meanwhile, I will travel with you in your videos. Happy New Year!
The area where you board the train- we would call that a platform ^-^ then the piece of metal that connects the train to the platform where the height is different is called a ramp ^-^
Super train trip! Sorry about you luggage. That is aggravating. Happy Nee Year! Nice of employer to give you a bottle of champagne. 🍾
Hello 🇷🇺 friend, Happy New Year and God bless you! Wow, that old train station was very interesting. I enjoyed seeing vintage woodworking and structure. It's nice you had a sleeping area even if only to stretch your legs. I can't sleep around strangers either. I love your video content and editing. Enjoy your holiday with your family. See you next year. Sending 🤗 🤗. Love, CarrieJo, 72 yrs. old from Pennsylvania, USA 🇺🇸
Wow! Красивый вокзал! Thank you for sharing!
Hello from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Thank you for sharing. I visited St Petersburg in 2008 on a cruise ship. We visited many places in your city but I especially liked the subway stations. So beautiful with chandeliers and mosaic tiles. Your English is very good.
Very cool.
Happy New Year! I hope you have a wonderful visit with your family. Years ago I took the train from Boston Massachusetts to Oregon - that is pretty much going right across the USA. It took more than 3 days and I didn't have a sleeper car. I sat in a seat the whole time. I managed to finally sleep sitting upright in the chair - out of complete exhaustion! You gave me a good laugh about trying to sleep in the train. The price of your trip was fabulous. You would pay much more than that in the US. That was a beautiful train station. Thanks again for sharing these videos- they are very enjoyable 🙂
Three days of sitting in a train. You are a strong person!
Thanks for sharing Ksenia....interesting.... a little different from Eastern Europe when I traveled there... enjoy your family holiday
Night Night, Love you X
Yes in English we call the " thing" a platform. The "lifted' thing we call a ramp ( the thing to pull the suitcase up onto the train) and when you speak about the platform being lifted we say it is raised. Yes we do call the sleeping compartments the birth
Chicago’s Union Station still looks like this. It’s one of only a few true beautiful architectural features left in my opinion.
I hope the trains are more comfortable there than here. They are totally horrible but pretty uncomfortable. Not at all like I remember as a little girl.
Your ride was how I remember as a little girl. Long comfortable seats instead of the cramped very uncomfortable ones now. What a pleasant memory.
Happy New Year!
Love the train station..not inside the train.. ..2 huge men so close..and others....no privacy..I would have been up the entire time with a mask on..and guarding my case and purse..glad you are safe..and do a video on the time with your Mum..Peace to you..HAPPY NEW YEAR..Fla USA here..Mary..
There's no need to be so worry like this. There's a police unit in every train, also entrance and exit have a survelliance cameras.
i like your comentary i lke russian vldeos i want to visit
i love old stations like that hope they do not modernise them to much as it spoils the history of them,happy new year to you and you family
I could see some of Liam New son’s film being done there 😍
Those glasses and holders are widely available. I have one of them in my collection of railway souvenirs.
You are lucky having glass to drink out of. Here in England it is all plastic and not just on trains. Attending a lunchtime corporate function, I was served wine in a plastic cup (I chose water). I wonder what will happen when plastic eventually gets banned.
❤
Love your videos with you allowing us to share some parts of your life in Russia.
I hope you do a video of what it is like where your family live
I'm so happy you find my videos interesting.
I have such a video th-cam.com/video/J6moOh15pMU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the train rise and the video, and happy new year!
Thanks for sharing your train ride with us. Hope you have a great time visiting your family. Very interesting video. Love from the USA. Happy New Year!
I love watching your videos and I love your sense of humor. I hope you have a happy and prosperous New Year.
👍
I love your videos Ksenia. Thank you for all of your hard work. What a beautiful train station. Amazing.
Kseniya enjoyed seeing the train station and your area on the train. I met a Russian lady in a store where I live. She spoke English like you do. They sell Russian products there now so she went around telling me what they were. Very nice lady and wanted to tell you about it. Will look forward to your next video.
thanks for sharing! That was very nice of her!
Hope you have a great time with your Family Xenia! A beautiful train station very unique..you are a real sport. Happy. New Year!💖💖⭐⭐😀
I hear snoring!! Not much privacy in those carriages it seems. Thankfully, I learned to sleep anywhere in any position during my time in the military. Wishing you and your family a safe and fun New Years celebration. I will be spending NYE indoors with my grandkids. Safer that way as here in America it is considered "Amateur Night" for many of the participants. Best wishes!
in the UK we have absolutely no way of realizing the comprehension of that sort of Space! we all live on top of each other!
I have just recently discovered you and really enjoy watching and listening to you. So interesting, your choices for videos!
I wish we could "visit" with you daily in your videos. Such a pleasant disposition, interesting content, educational videos. So thankful to have found your channel. I wish you all the best and incredible success with your channel in the New Year! God's richest blessings for happiness, peace and health!
Happy New Year Ksenia. That 19th century train station is beautiful. I hope they do not change it.
So interesting! The train was clean and I love the glass for the tea! Rode overnight on a train in the US. Had a small room with a door and bathroom. It was cramped but fun to sleep on a train. Do you always go by train to your Mom's? Are there busses or taxi's that will get you there?
So much character in that building. If walls could talk!
I have been looking for you and couldn’t find you. I glad to see back on TH-cam. Happy New Year and enjoy your family
Such a GREAT video! 🤗 I hope you will tell us how your mom and brother liked their gifts! It's too bad they don't have little curtains you can draw close on the train, but maybe for security or something, they need to make sure everyone is behaving? 😇 I can't wait to see your next video!!
