Russian broadcaster marks 20 years on air with a themed train in Moscow\u2019s subway<\/strong><\/p>\n

A train marking RT\u2019s two decades on air has begun operating in the Moscow metro as part of a broader series of events dedicated to the channel\u2019s 20th anniversary since launching in December of 2005.<\/p>\n

The project aims to showcase RT\u2019s evolution into an international media network, reflecting on its history, achievements, and role in the global media landscape.<\/p>\n

The train features three distinct carriage types titled \u2018The Newsroom\u2019, \u2018Censorship\u2019, and \u2018Live on Air\u2019, each offering a different perspective on the channel\u2019s development and how the public perceives it.<\/p>\n

The design incorporates ironic and satirical references to RT\u2019s work. At the entrance to \u2018The Newsroom\u2019, passengers are greeted with the phrase \u2018Join Russia\u2019, while the \u2018Live on Air\u2019 car displays the slogan \u201cThere are two genders in this carriage.\u201d<\/em> In the \u2018Censorship\u2019 car, visitors are invited to \u201cwalk through the sanctions,\u201d<\/em> referring to the restrictions imposed on the broadcaster in several Western countries.<\/p>\n

Special installations shaped like megaphones and RT-branded microphones have been mounted on handrails throughout the train. The carriage walls are decorated with quotes about RT from foreign media outlets and politicians, including remarks by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the channel\u2019s international reach and influence.<\/p>\n

The anniversary train will run on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya, or blue, line until June of 2026. The route was chosen in part because RT\u2019s headquarters are located near one of the line\u2019s stations.<\/p>\n

The Moscow Metro is widely regarded as one of the world\u2019s largest, busiest, and fastest-growing urban transit systems, as well as one of the most beautiful and clean.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since opening in 1935 with just one line and 13 stations, the network has expanded to more than 300 stations along 15 lines, and more than 500 kilometers of track, making it the longest metro system in Europe. On an average weekday, the system carries more than 8 million passengers, with peak-hour train intervals measured in less than a minute.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beyond its scale and efficiency, the Moscow Metro is often described as a \u2018museum underground\u2019, famed for stations adorned with marble, mosaics, chandeliers, and sculptures with Soviet-era and contemporary artwork. Many of its stations are major tourist attractions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
