Heart of Russia, a new unbelievably beautiful train appeared in the London Underground. Each of its cars introduces one of the areas of the Russian culture: ballet, literature, architecture, cinema, painting, space and science.
The exterior of cars is covered with clever, subtle and talented drawings. Gentle ballerinas dance while a sad Leo Tolstoy is hiding in birch trees and Pavlov’s dog intensely looks at a light bulb that lights up at every station (hello, conditioned reflex!).
The train alone can inspire more interest and love for Russia than all international PR services altogether. It’s hardly any wonder that the train was designed at Art. Lebedev Studio.
The train’s color scheme is blue, white and red, a delicate metaphor for international friendship (these colors are found on the flags of both countries). The design also makes use of many shades of gold to make it more solemn.
