I would venture to guess that may be a water tank/heater of some sorts. Maybe?What I can't understand is all the Cyrillic and the round thing in the lower left of the top view. Is that the samovar?
Having ridden in a Russian sleeper from Moscow to St. Petersburg, I can confirm that yes, that is where the samovar is.What I can't understand is all the Cyrillic and the round thing in the lower left of the top view. Is that the samovar?
The diagram that you posted gives the model number (индекс вагона or indeks vagona) as 31-817, not 61-817.I had found the diagram on a Russian site that said it was the 61-817, which is the same model in the video.
