History

2017: Discussion of the involvement of convicts in the construction of the Moscow-Kazan high-speed railway

Representatives of Russian Railways and the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Republic of Tatarstan discussed in July 2017 the possibility of involving convicts in the construction of state monopoly facilities, including the Moscow-Kazan high-speed highway. This was reported by the press service of the department.

Those convicted of compulsory labor must do socially useful work free of charge up to 4 hours a day, the Federal Penitentiary Service recalled. They are serving their sentences at facilities determined by municipal and local governments. Convicts to correctional labor can work at their workplace, if they had one. At the same time, part of their salary - from 5% to 20% - is transferred to the state. In total, 1.8 thousand such convicts are now in Tatarstan.

HSR Moscow-Kazan is the largest infrastructure project of Russian Railways in the coming years. Its length will be 762 km, the route will pass through seven regions of Russia. Travel time will be 3.5 hours. The cost of the project is estimated at 1.068 trillion rubles. Commissioning of the facility is planned no earlier than 2020.
At
the beginning of 2017, Rostec commented that cooperation with the FSIN is not a unique example, a number of Russian enterprises have long been cooperating with FSIN institutions. Convicts will not be involved in industries related to the WWST, secret, high-tech industries, work in which requires an appropriate level of education and competence, or admission to state secrets. At the same time, for prisoners, such a practice will allow them to acquire a wider range of skills and competencies that will increase the chances of successful socialization after release.

1911: Laying a railway bridge across the Volga

Moscow-Kazan Railway. Construction of the Romanovsky bridge across the Volga near the Sviyazhsk railway station, Kazan province, Kazan district, Ilyinsky volost, village (village) Zeleny Dol (Gar) (now Zelenodolsk), 1911-1913

Once upon a time, traveling by rail from Moscow to Kazan was a real adventure. Passengers arriving in Sviyazhsk were forced to leave the train and continue on horse-drawn routes to the Volga crossing. There they were waiting for a ferry that transported them across the river, after which they could take another train and complete the journey to Kazan. Freight cars were transported in winter on ice, and in summer on special ferries.

On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov house, it was decided to build a railway bridge across the Volga. In 1911, the project was approved, the author of which was the famous engineer Nikolai Apollonovich Belelyubsky. In February of the same year, a solemn laying of the bridge took place.
