Couldn't help noticing that the Volgograd Metrotram seems to have new and improved rolling stock running the rails these days (image courtesy of A. Platonov on transit.parovoz.com):



Some key data from Vagonmash's page on the LVS-2009 (Model 71-154):

Length over coupler: 31.5 m (Siemens Avanto 28.5 m; Siemens SD-160 24.8 m)
Tare: 42 T (Avanto 44 T; SD-160 45 T)
Width: 2.55 m (Avanto 2.65 m; SD-160 2.65 m)
Height: 3.15 m (Avanto 3.68 m w/pantograph; SD-160 3.84 m w/pantograph)
Seats: 50 (Avanto 68; SD-160 64)
Design Load: 225 (Avanto 180; SD-160 180)
Crush Load: 330 (Avanto 236; SD-160 240)
Floor Height over top of rail: 350 mm low-floor, 750 mm high-floor (Avanto 356 mm low floor, 856 mm high-floor; SD-160 985 mm high-floor)
Turning Radius: 14 m (Avanto 25 m; SD-160 25 m)

The Palerom billboard at Thirty-Ninth Guards' Station is advertising baking and pastry-making equipment, though I'm surprised there's not more of a "Bake Like the Pros!" feel to the advertisement.
