With the economy in the doldrums, Russia is scaling back its rail ambitions. The daily Vedomosti recently revealed that the crisis may have had an impact on the planned extension of the high-speed rail network, taking advantage of the impact of the World Cup. The Football World Cup to be held in Russia in 2018 was expected to lead to the construction of new high-speed lines, financed for the most part by the State.
