I do not quite get it. This sounds like Moscow trains are as old as Mumbai trains or something like that. Older than Paris? No. Aesthetically inferior to London, NYC or Tokyo? No way, unless you are biased. They are absolutely fine trains as far as I am concerned. Clean, spacious, safe and fast. I have used trains on a number of US systems and do not see how Moscow trains are worse in any department. What am I missing?

Moscow trains do not have AC, but Moscow climate and the way the whole system is built do not justify AC on trains.
