[art-trans]

Hi!

1. All Russian, Ukrainian and near-by countries has express trains, usual passenger trains, fast local trains, suburban (local) trains [EMU, DMU, sometimes "kupeiny" cars].
2. All the "express" trains usualy have their own name in honour of some people who has done smth very important for country. But they are usual speed-up trains with usual cars.

You're welcome!

Thank you very much for your detailed answer.

So frankly all kupeiny are designed to function as sleeping cars if needed?
Very interesting. I have been travelling a lot in Belarus and the baltic states, and I always wondered why all the cars had beds, even in day-trains.

While we are on the subject. While travelling from Klaipeda to Vilnius in Lithuania, I noticed they had 1st class kupeiny-type cars with open interior and seats, instead of 6-8 seat compartments.
I wonder if only LG have those?
