moving from place to place is very important. This PowerPoint is all about movement in the biggest country in the world, Russia.

The Good and Bad of Moving in Russia

Good There are many train stations, and rivers.

The Trans-Siberian railway and other railways provide transportation across the country.

Moscow has many ways to get to another part in the country.

Since Russia has a very large population.

Bad

The cold climate makes vehicles not work.

The poor land makes transportation much harder.

Climate can also delay things.

Some Russian transportation causes bad pollution

Lefortovo Tunnel The Lefortovo tunnel,

also called the “Tunnel of Death” is located in Moscow. This tunnel can causes cars to slip because water leaks into it. Thus the tunnel can cause many deaths. This tunnel is important for traveling, but can cause a big problem.

Volga River

The Volga River is located in the heart of Russia. It is the longest river in Europe. It starts in the Valdai Hills, and flows into the Caspian Sea. This an ideal source of movement for Russian’s. Since it is a navigable river, ships can carry imports, and exports.

Facts

It’s main tributaries are the Kama River, Vetluga River, Sura

river and the Oka River.

It is 284,636 miles long.

Moscow, the Great Center of TravelMoscow is a major transportation center. It has eleven main railroad terminals, four airports, thirteen major highways, and one of the biggest, most populated subway system. In 2008, Moscow had the most populated subway system in the world!!! The bad thing about traveling is traffic.

The Trans-Siberian Railway stretches from Moscow to Vladivostok, which is located on the Sea of Japan. The project started in 1891, and was finally

finished in 1916. It goes an astonishing 9,259 miles across the country of Russia. It goes across five major rivers. It is a five day total journey, with a

train leaving Moscow every morning.

Trans-Siberian Railway

The Baikal Amur Mainline is a railroad which splits off of the Trans-Siberian

Railway. It starts in Tayshet, and ends in Sovetskaya Gavan, which is on the

Pacific Ocean. It stretches about 1,000 miles. It was constructed in the 1930’s.

BAM has been criticized for it’s complete lack of environment protection.

The Top Two Forms of Movement

Trains

Trains are one of the most popular ways of traveling. Moscow has connections to get all around the country by train. Moscow has a successful subway system. Trains sprawl across the country.

Buses

Buses are also one of the most popular forms of movement. The C-Bus is a bus system that runs in many countries, and Russia. It is a public form of transportation. Russia uses a non wired kind.

Land

Russia’s land doesn’t improve traveling. With most of the country having mountains. Mountains causes problems with traveling. Marshes and swamps cause problems, too. Forests are hard to go through
