London Underground has unveiled a Russian-themed train showcasing the country’s cultural achievements.

‘The Heart of Russia’ was launched at Baker Street station as part of a partnership between the Moscow Metro and the Tube, teaching passengers about each country in the field of science and education.

Moscow’s deputy mayor Maxim Liksutov said the project will show that the UK and Russia have many things in common.
