Abstract
The longer the distance that separates Ukraine from a state—object of international passenger communication, the higher is the administrative rank of the city-terminus of this communication. In 2007, 139 international passenger trains and 76 direct carriages ran through the country. Owing to the effect of historical inertia, Ukrainian cities are predominantly connected by international passenger service with Russian cities, especially with Moscow.
Highlights
Railway transport is the most stable in time and space among all kinds of transport because its functioning expensive transport infrastructure – railway equipment and rolling stock – is needed
Transit passenger trains and direct carriages cross the territory of Milovskyi raion of Luhanska oblast of Ukraine along one of the busiest trunk railways RZhD Moscow–Rostov-on-Don
They do not pass customs and border control in Ukraine and that is why we excluded them from the object of our research. These trains and direct carriages do not stop on the territory of Ukraine, which leads to the manifestation of the Morvan’s effect in the regions owing to the fact that the local population and the economy are not involved into provision of services for railway communication
Summary
Railway transport is the most stable in time and space among all kinds of transport because its functioning expensive transport infrastructure – railway equipment and rolling stock – is needed. In order to understand the importance of international passenger railway communication for the regions of a country, one should single out the cities, which are the terminal stations of the routes of such kinds of trains, especially in the main metropolises of the state.
