From Moscow to Helsinki and back I went by train Leo Tolstoy http://poezd-lev-tolstoi.ru. I thought you would be interested to see how it works and how it differs from conventional trains that ply in Russia.
At first glance, the coupe looks exactly the same as a conventional train.
However, differences can be seen already in the corridor. Sliding Doors do not move, and open outward.
Equipped with electronic locks on the doors.
The lock is opened the card. Card guide gives all passengers at the beginning of the trip and picks up at the end.
In a compartment above the door of the control panel.
Electronic temperature control. There is also air conditioning and heating.
On the sides of the table - outlet.
The main secret compartment hidden in the table.
Under the table in each compartment - sink.
I took in Instagram short video about the table-sink.

Luggage space just under the bottom shelf.
Still there is a small shelf above the upper shelves.
At the end of the corridor electronic scoreboard.
Modern toilet with a vacuum system toilet drain.
Washbasin is equipped with a thermostat. The water is warm, turn on the big button.
Surprisingly, in each car is not only a toilet, but shower.
At the conductor has a cooler with hot and cold potable water, electric, microwave oven and refrigerator.
The train runs WI-FI.
Wi-Fi network operates in two modes: online and cinema.
There are three tariff Internet: 99 rubles for 4 hours and 179 rubles for 8 hours and 199 rubles per 12 hours. Internet works both in Russia and in Finland.
Internet is based on the mobile Internet is not everywhere. When connecting the cover shows the quality of the card all the way.
In the movie mode, it serves more than 150 films. View most movies cost 79-99 rubles.
Carriages do at Tver Carriage Works in collaboration with Siemens. From Moscow he leaves every day at 19:53 and arrives in Helsinki at 10:26 the next day. From Helsinki train departs at 18:23 and arrive in Moscow at 9:19. Ticket in the coupe costs around 7,000 rubles.
And you can travel with the machine still on the train, Leo Tolstoy, but it is a pleasure not cheap. The train has a special wagons-transporters, which you can load your car and drive from Moscow to Helsinki and back. Baggage car round trip costs about 450 euros.
