Outwardly, it is very similar to the usual train.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin decided to imitate Kim Jong-in and moved from a plane to an armored train that travels inside the Russian Federation.

This is stated in the investigation of the Dossier Center.

The Russian dictator began to make more active use of the armored train for his trips around Russia in the autumn of 2021, exactly at the time when the occupying army began to prepare for a war against Ukraine. Putin travels by armored train to his residences in Valdai and Sochi.

Investigators believe that Putin began to travel by armored train out of fear of being liquidated, since the movement of aircraft is easier to track in real time than passenger trains.

Putin's armored train has a bedroom, an office, a staff car and a special communications car. Putin's train is disguised as an ordinary passenger train, but it is given out by special equipment on the roof of one of the cars.

Such a train may belong to the Grand Service Express company, which was owned by an offshore company associated with an associate of the President of the Russian Federation, Yuri Kovalchuk, and businessman Mikhail Rabinovich. Its approximate cost is one billion Russian rubles.

Important to note, it is the armored train that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-in often uses. On this train, he arrived in Russia to meet with Putin in 2019.
