Tomorrow, on April 30 at 9:00 AM, the “Victory Train” – a memorial convoy – will arrive at the Kazan-1 railway station in the capital of Tatarstan. The legendary steam locomotive series LV-165 will be accompanied by six platforms displaying military equipment, as well as two troop railcars featuring a field kitchen and an exhibition of wartime household items and interiors.

For one hour, residents will be able to explore this retro convoy showcasing World War II-era military technology. The site will host a solemn rally and a festive concert featuring performances by the Nizhny Novgorod brass band from the Central Palace of Culture of Railway Workers, as well as food from the field kitchen.

The program also includes patriotic events such as:

• “Flame of Memory”

• “Victory Waltz”

After the stop in Kazan, the convoy will continue to the Shemordan station, arriving at 13:25. The final stop in Tatarstan will be Agryz-1 station on May 1 at 8:15 AM, according to the press service of the Gorky Railway (GZhD).

The “Victory Train” set off on April 23 from Nizhny Novgorod, with 45 stations on its route, including six in Tatarstan. Its first stop in the republic was Zeleny Dol, followed by Burunduki and Bua stations earlier today.

This commemorative event is part of the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945). The first “Victory Train” was launched by the Gorky Railway in honor of the 60th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.
