January 1, 1998 In Moscow, an explosion occurred in the lobby of the Tretyakovskaya metro station. The power of the explosive device was 150 g in TNT equivalent. The train driver handed over a bag to the station attendant, which aroused his suspicions. The duty officer put the bag on the shield with fire extinguishers and went to call the police, at that moment the explosive device went off. Three people were injured.

August 8, 2000 In the center of Moscow, in an underground passage under Pushkin Square, an explosion occurred. The power of the device was 800 g in TNT equivalent. 13 people were killed, 118 were injured of varying degrees of severity. In 2005, the incident was recognized as a terrorist attack.

August 31, 2004 In Moscow, a suicide bomber committed an explosion near the Rizhskaya metro station. The woman tried to enter the station, but saw policemen at the entrance, turned around and detonated an explosive device. As a result, 10 people were killed and 46 people were injured. Three defendants in the case were sentenced to life imprisonment in 2007.

March 29, 2010 There was a double terrorist attack in the Moscow metro. The first explosion occurred at about 08:00 Moscow time at the Lubyanka station; half an hour later a bomb exploded at the Park Kultury station. 41 people became victims of the terrorist attack, and more than 100 were injured. According to investigators, the organizers of the terrorist attack were members of the Islamist underground of Dagestan.

April 3, 2017 On the stretch between the Sennaya Ploshchad and Technological Institute stations in St. Petersburg, an explosion occurred. According to official data, 10 people were killed and dozens were injured.

A powerful explosion occurred in the Moscow metro at 7.52 am on March 29, killing 24 people and injuring dozens.

The suicide bomber herself was torn into small pieces. However, her head and leg were preserved. Using these body parts, it will be possible in the future to establish the identity of the terrorist.

At 8.37 am, another bomb exploded at the Park Kultury station, killing 13 people.

The first explosion occurred at the moment when the doors of the train opened, people began to get out, and others began to enter the carriage, a police officer who visited the scene of the terrorist attack told a Life News correspondent.

“I was in the next carriage when the explosion occurred,” said a passenger of the Red Arrow, which was blown up at Lubyanka. - The doors of the neighboring carriage were literally turned outwards. At least 15 people died immediately.

The bandits chose a difficult day to carry out the terrorist attack. On March 29, Holy Week began in Russia - the last week before Easter.

The bomb destroyed the 2nd and 3rd cars from the head of the train. The explosive device was in the second carriage.

“I was going to work in the next carriage to the one in which the explosion occurred,” says Yulia Tarasevich, a native of Chelyabinsk. - Literally at the entrance to the platform there was a bang, the train stopped, then started moving and reached the station. Panic began in the carriage: the doors jammed and they had to be opened by hand. When the crowd carried me onto the platform, I saw that my leg was bleeding. As a result, I was sent to hospital No. 13.

The blast wave went into the third car and into the first, into the ceiling, along the sides and out to the exit, a law enforcement source told Life News. - The train driver was also injured. He is in shock, but there are no serious injuries. The explosive device was filled with chopped pieces of reinforcement. It is also known that it was most likely activated using a mobile phone - batteries and wire fragments were found at the scene of the explosion. Most of the victims were in the second carriage. A man standing in the third carriage next to the glass inter-car door also died.

The mayor of the capital, Yuri Luzhkov, and the head of the Moscow City Internal Affairs Directorate, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, arrived at the scene of the explosion.

Most of the wounded are very serious, doctors told Life News.

According to preliminary data, a powerful bomb filled with steel balls was detonated by a suicide bomber.

Hotline numbers where you can find out the fate of relatives who may have been in the metro at the time of the explosions: 622-14-30, 624-34-40, 626-37-07.

The second explosion occurred at the Park Kultury metro station (radial). Here, according to the mayor of the capital, Yuri Luzhkov, 13 people were killed and 19 were injured.

Information about three more explosions - at the Ulitsa Podbelskogo, Prospekt Mira and Begovaya stations - has not been confirmed. As Life News found out, there was a suspicion of an explosion at Podbelsky, and a police squad went there. The alarms simply went off at Prospekt Mira and Begovaya.

Meanwhile, private taxi drivers in the capital, as reported by Life News reporters from the scene of the emergency, decided to take advantage of the situation. Prices for travel between 2 - 3 metro stations have jumped to 3 - 4 thousand rubles.

The explosive devices, according to intelligence services, were activated by terrorists following a telephone call. Currently, the base stations of telecom operators in the metro are turned off to prevent a possible repetition of terrorist attacks.

On June 11, 1996, the first terrorist attack occurred in Moscow since the collapse of the USSR - an explosion in the Moscow metro. On this day we remember all the major Moscow tragedies and dream that this nightmare will never happen again!

Explosion at Ploshchad Revolyutsii station

Information about the terrorist attacks appeared only two days later and was relatively scarce, which led to many rumors and speculation. A few months later, Zatikyan (the organizer of the explosion), Stepanyan and Baghdasaryan (the direct perpetrators) were arrested on charges of organizing the explosions. Their trial was secret; even the closest relatives of the accused (who were summoned to Moscow and informed of the sentence that had already been passed - execution) were not notified of its date and place. The official report after the trial did not publish details (the place and time of the trial, the names of two of the three accused). Zatikyan denied his guilt. Stepanyan partially admitted his guilt, but denied Zatikyan's participation. Baghdasaryan admitted everything. According to some Soviet human rights activists, the holding of the trial in secret and the rush to carry out the death sentence, unprecedented for the 1970s (3 days after the court decision), is associated with the complete falsification of the case by the KGB. As of August 2007, the materials of the criminal case about the explosion in the subway in 1977 remain secret.

Train derailment on the Avtozavodskaya - Kolomenskaya section (1979)

On the Gorkovsko-Zamoskvoretskaya line on April 15, a train derailed on the stretch between the Avtozavodskaya and Kolomenskaya stations, in the tunnel before exiting the metro bridge. Due to a violation of the upper clearance position of the threshold of the special structure above the level of the running rail heads, the car touched the powerful track structure with its gearbox. Five carriages came off the rails and bogies, and the bodies fell onto the track. The consequences of the collapse were eliminated for almost a day. There were no casualties, but many passengers were injured. This incident forced the metro to develop a special device for monitoring the size of the car along the lower edge (point) of the gearbox housing (UKG). All lines were equipped with these devices. The causes of the accident were examined by a special scientific and technical commission. She found that when developing the dimensions of the “E” type car (its lower points), all the design features of this type of car were not taken into account, especially the reduction in the diameter of the wheels and the height of the axle pin.

The accident at the Avtozavodskaya station accelerated the equipping of the PVS depot with the German UNIMOG special vehicle, as well as the re-equipment of the technical room with a remote control for emergency games of locomotive crews. All equipment of the “E” type car was operational and operating normally.

Fire on the Tretyakovskaya - Oktyabrskaya section (1981)

On June 12, 1981, on the Tretyakovskaya - Oktyabrskaya section, a fire broke out in a wooden box with batteries under the carriage. Four carriages burned down. Several firefighters were injured due to combustion products poisoning. There were no casualties. According to other sources, at least 7 people died. The reason is a battery malfunction.

Fire during the construction of the distillation tunnel (1982)

In 1982, during the construction of a distillation tunnel using a shield method, a fire occurred on a section of the highway where a gas station used to be located. Oil-saturated soil coming from the face caught fire.

Fire in an underground pneumatic workshop (1982)

A fire broke out in the underground pneumatic workshop as a result of a “gross violation in the operation of electromechanical facilities.”

Accident of escalators at Aviamotornaya (1982)

The second incident with human casualties in the Moscow metro occurred on February 17 of the year at the Aviamotornaya station as a result of an escalator breakdown caused by design flaws and improper maintenance.

At approximately 16:30, due to an increase in passenger traffic, escalator No. 4 was turned down. At about 5 p.m., the escalator's staircase suddenly began to accelerate and in just a few seconds reached a speed that was 2 to 2.4 times higher than the nominal speed. People on the escalator could not stay on their feet and fell, sliding down and blocking the exit from the lower platform. Some jumped onto the escalator balustrades to save themselves from falling. In less than two minutes, almost all the escalator passengers - about 100 people - rolled down. At 17:10 the entrance to the station was limited, at 17:35 it was blocked, at 17:45 the Aviamotornaya station was completely closed - trains passed through it without stopping.

The Moscow authorities chose to hide the scale of the incident; there was practically no information about the accident in the media. As a result, the city was flooded with rumors. In particular, a widely spread version was that the main number of deaths were passengers who fell “under the escalators” and were pulled into the mechanisms.

In the summer of 1982, during rush hour on Aviamotornaya, the escalator chain broke and people fell into the drive gears in the motor pit. The next day I was told about this by the reviewer of my thesis project, who got to the station 10 minutes later and saw blood and people with cut off legs... According to the then Soviet tradition, they did not write about this story, but now there are no memorial plaques there... I don’t know, maybe , is this an urban legend?

The plastic covering of the balustrade was indeed unable to withstand the weight of the people who jumped onto it, and people actually fell through it, but there are no mechanisms under the balustrade - people only received bruises from falling onto the concrete base of the escalator tunnel from a two-meter height. Many died as a result of the crush at the bottom of the escalator.

The exact number of victims - 8 dead and 30 wounded - was announced only 9 months later, at a meeting of the Supreme Court of the RSFSR.

As a result of the investigation, it turned out that in December 1981, service brakes of a new system were installed on four escalators at the Aviamotornaya station, requiring adjustment according to new specially developed instructions. However, the station’s escalator operating foreman, V.P. Zagvozdkin, continued to adjust the brakes according to the old familiar scheme, neglecting the new instructions. Thus, for three months, from the moment the brake systems were installed until the day of the disaster, all four escalators at the station were operated in emergency mode.

The immediate cause of the accident was a fracture in step No. 96. The damaged step when passing the lower landing of the escalator caused the destruction of the comb, the protection was activated and the electric motor was switched off. The activated electromagnetic service brake was able to develop the required braking torque much later than the set value - the braking distance was more than 11 meters. The mechanical emergency brake did not work, since the speed of the belt did not reach the threshold value, and there was simply no electrical circuit for monitoring the condition of the service brake in the escalators of this series.

The tragic experience was taken into account. From May 12 to May 28, 1982, the Aviamotornaya station was closed for repairs and modifications of escalators. Subsequently, urgently, but without closing the stations, all ET series escalators at the remaining metro stations were modified - the steps were strengthened, the brakes were modernized, the thickness of the balustrade cladding sheets was increased from 3 to 8-10 mm.

Damage to the tunnel lining (1983)

Rockfall (1986)

In 1986, during the construction of the transfer hub, the project was disrupted. As a result, when excavating the furnel from bottom to top, rock fell out.

Fire on a train at Paveletskaya station

Several rear cars of the train were badly burned. The lining of the southern part of the station, built in 1943, was badly damaged. Significant reconstruction was required, so now the oldest part of the station looks more modern than the main column part, opened during the reconstruction of 1953.

After this incident, the development of an automatic fire extinguishing system for Moscow Metro cars began. By 1994, the radical fire-fighting modernization of the metro rolling stock with the installation of the Igla automatic fire extinguishing system was completely completed.

Gas incidents (1989)

In 1989, during the construction of the metro, two incidents of gas pollution occurred at once. In one case, due to a violation of the ventilation regime during the excavation of a furnel in the face, the oxygen content in the atmosphere decreased. In the second case, during work on artificial freezing of soil, liquid nitrogen leaked into a trench where people were.

After 1991

Fire on the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line (1994)

A series of accidents on the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line in 1994

Within fourteen and a half hours, three accidents occurred on different sections of the line. 20 people were injured, 9 of them were hospitalized.

The first accident occurred on Wednesday, March 30 at 18:48 on the Nagornaya - Nakhimovsky Prospekt section. The train moving from the center caught up with the train in front, which was slowing down before arriving at the station, and crashed into it. On March 31, during maneuvers, at 5:30, one of the trains was allowed to pass along the wrong route. The result is a new collision. Three cars derailed and blocked the tunnel; they had to be cut with an autogen. And at 9:14, when the metro train arrived at the Petrovsko-Razumovskaya station, but had not yet had time to open the doors, the train following it crashed into it. The last carriage derailed and smoke began to form. Panic began among the passengers and a stampede ensued. Three passengers and the driver of the second train were seriously injured - he was hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury.

Car fires (1995)

In the spring of 1995, due to a malfunction of the undercarriage, the undercarriage of a carriage caught fire in the ferry tunnel. In the fall of the same year, a train at the station caught fire due to a malfunction in the electrical system.

The train crashed through the wall of the Vladykino depot

Train fire (1996)

In February 1996, a train at the station caught fire due to an electrical fault.

Smoke in the tunnel and stations (1996)

In March 1996, due to a short circuit on the section, a power cable caught fire, resulting in smoke in the tunnel and stations.

1996 terrorist attack

The second terrorist attack in the history of the Moscow metro occurred late in the evening of June 11th. An improvised explosive device exploded on a train between the Tulskaya and Nagatinskaya stations, killing four people and injuring fourteen others. The explosion destroyed one carriage and damaged others. Passengers had to walk to the nearest station. A high-explosive explosive device, equivalent in power to one kilogram of TNT, was placed under the seat of the carriage, where the technical equipment of the train was located.

On December 7, 1997, two suspects in the terrorist attack, whose names were not disclosed, were detained. According to information provided by Express-Gazeta, Chechen terrorists claimed responsibility, but other sources do not confirm this information. The most famous of the Chechen separatist field commanders of that time - Shamil Basayev and Salman Raduev - did not make statements that they had anything to do with this terrorist attack. As of 2001, the criminal case had not been solved.

Power grid failure on May 25, 2005

The Moscow metro is facing the largest disruption in its history. On May 25 at 11:10, a massive shutdown of Mosenergo power centers began, supplying voltage including the Metro line. As a result, 52 of the 170 Moscow metro stations were excluded from operation.

According to the Committee on Telecommunications and Media of the City of Moscow:

Traffic was partially absent on 3 lines of the Moscow Metro:

• Zamoskvoretskaya from the station. "Krasnogvardeiskaya" to the station. "Paveletskaya", including Kakhovskaya line
• Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya from the station. "Serpukhovskaya" to the station. "Boulevard Dm. Donskoy"
• Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya from the station. "Bitsevsky Park" to the station. "Peace Avenue"

Traffic was completely absent on the Lyublinskaya Line, as well as on the Butovskaya Line of the light metro (on the latter, shuttle traffic was restored, passengers were transported only from Starokachalovskaya Street).

At 11:40, the evacuation of passengers from 27 trains in the tunnels began. At 13:15 the evacuation of passengers was completed.

According to other sources, a power outage led to the stoppage of trains on the Zamoskvoretskaya, Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya, Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya, Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya, Butovskaya, Lyublinskaya, Kalininskaya and Kakhovskaya lines. According to these data, 43 trains stopped in the tunnels on different lines, containing about 20 thousand people.

Panic was avoided; the evacuation of passengers began 20-35 minutes after the accident. The downhill trains returned to the station, but most passengers still had to be evacuated on foot. The complete evacuation dragged on for almost two hours. The escalators stopped.

Some trains were also returned at interchange stations. For example, at Kitay-Gorod there was only one escalator at a time, the entrance hall to Maroseyka was the exit, and Solyanka was the entrance. There was no light on the slopes. After the situation at neighboring stations normalized, it was closed to entry and exit until the end of the day.

• De-energized stations (access to the link is blocked in Russia)- photographs of eyewitnesses.

Destruction of shallow tunnels as a result of unauthorized driving of piles

Since the 2000s, in the history of the Moscow metro there have been incidents involving unauthorized driving of piles under various structures in the area of ​​shallow metro tunnels.

As it turned out, piles were being driven above the tunnel for a large advertising stand. After one of the piles fell underground, workers drove the equipment away from the work site. According to the metro management, there have been no requests from this or any other organization for permission to carry out work on the metro tunnel in this location. However, the company that carried out the work presented all the necessary documents issued by the owner of the land plot. It turned out that due to the secrecy regime, the plans did not even indicate that a metro line runs under this site at a shallow depth.

As a result of the accident, part of the Zamoskvoretskaya metro line from the Sokol station to the Rechnoy Vokzal station was closed; to ensure the transportation of passengers, an additional 89 buses and 16 trolleybuses were put on the line from the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station to Sokol. During the daytime, fares were also canceled on routes passing through the Sokol metro station along Leningradsky Prospekt.

The driver of the train involved in the accident, 25-year-old Andrei Ulyanov, for the dedication and high professionalism shown in the performance of his official duty, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, was awarded the medal of the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland”, II degree. Specialists who investigated the accident came to the conclusion that the driver’s reaction helped to avoid human casualties - Ulyanov promptly noticed the falling pile and organized the evacuation of passengers.

Train derailment between Vladykino and Otradnoye stations

Attacks of March 29, 2010

Tree fall between Izmailovskaya and Pervomaiskaya stations

On June 4 at 20:27 Moscow time, as a result of a strong storm, a tree fell on the open section between the Izmailovskaya and Pervomaiskaya stations, as a result of which train traffic along this section was stopped for some time. As reported by the capital's Ministry of Emergency Situations, the trunk had to be cut to remove it from the tracks. The passengers were eventually released and began to be transported by Mosgortrans buses. No harm done. At 21:47 traffic was restored.

Exactly eight years ago - on March 29, 2010 - two explosions occurred in the Moscow metro during the morning rush hour. The first one was at Lubyanka, 40 minutes later the second explosive device went off at Park Kultury. Both bombs were attached to female suicide bombers. The leader of the “Caucasian Emirate” Doku Umarov immediately took responsibility for the explosions. 40 people were killed and 168 injured. The majority were Russians, as well as citizens of Tajikistan, the Philippines, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia and Israel.

The first explosion became known at 07:56. The mine was attached to a suicide bomber standing near the second door of the second carriage. The device detonated when the train stopped on the platform and the driver was about to open the doors. The power of the explosive device was about four kilograms of TNT. This explosion killed 24 people.

After this, train traffic on the Sokolnicheskaya Line was completely stopped. But by this time, the second terrorist was already in the train, which stopped on the stretch between Frunzenskaya and Park Kultury. The driver brought the train to the station and asked the passengers to get off. It was at this moment, at 08:37, that a second explosion occurred in the third carriage. The bomb's power was equivalent to two kilograms of TNT. The victims were 16 people, four of whom died two days later in the hospital.

The devices used a powerful explosive, hexogen, and pieces of reinforcement and iron bolts as destructive elements.

Immediately after the tragedy, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the capital’s subway evacuated about 3.5 thousand people from the metro, blocked the section from Sportivnaya to Komsomolskaya and closed a number of stations.

The killer of passengers on the Lubyanka turned out to be a native of Dagestan, Mariam Sharipova. According to some sources, she was the wife of Magomedali Vagabov, and according to others, she was the wife of a terrorist nicknamed Doctor Muhammad. The terrorist who exploded at the Park of Culture was

widow of the leader of Dagestani militants Umalat Magomedov Jennet Abdurakhmanova.

According to the investigation, the terrorists deliberately chose the metro as the location for the terrorist attack in order to create a public outcry both in Russia and abroad.

Firstly, the morning rush hour was chosen, when the metro is extremely crowded.

Secondly, both terrorists detonated the mines at the moment when the trains
