What “souvenirs” took the 2018 World Cup fans from the Russian Railways?
Pavel Burtsev, head of the management department of the Passenger Transport business unit of Russian Railways, said that “Free” guests from foreign countries who traveled during the World Cup in Russia cost Russian Railways almost one million rubles.
For this amount, "souvenirs" were taken out of the cars - from cup holders to bed linens and blankets.
Burtsev suggested that “apparently, tourists believed that if something was issued as part of a free trip, it belongs to them.”
The expert, not without humor, said that part of his sheets Russian Railways "identified" - of which fans made posters for matches. According to Pavel Burtsev, the most significant damage suffered trains, which were free transportation.
RZD does not plan to influence the “plunderers”. “For such a large company, this is certainly not a very serious loss. We will restore it, said Pavel Burtsev.
