The Friendship Train, Moscow to Yekaterinburg
By train across Russia for dialogue
In March 2027 Bike for Peace will travel by train across Russia, from Moscow to Yekaterinburg. It is a peace journey: a friendship train built on diplomacy and dialogue between Russia, the Nordic countries, Europe and the United States.
For two weeks we will meet politicians in Moscow, mayors and local politicians, universities, upper secondary schools, peace organisations and Rotary clubs. In each city we give a talk, listen more than we speak, and bring the conversation home.
The route
- Moscow, 15–18 March
- Vladimir, 19 March
- Nizhny Novgorod, 20–22 March
- Kazan, 23–25 March
- Perm, 26 March
- Yekaterinburg, 27–29 March, and home on 29 March
Practical
- Participants pay their own flights to Moscow and home from Yekaterinburg.
- We are working with the Russian Peace Foundation on accommodation and train travel inside Russia. Costs will be confirmed as soon as possible.
- Russia requires a visa with an invitation. We arrange the invitation for everyone who registers.
- The programme is in English, with interpretation where needed.
- We travel by train between the cities, partly overnight, with a little cycling in the cities where possible. No special fitness is required.
Registration deadline: 27 November 2026
