Muscovites bring flowers and candles to metro stations "Slavyansky Boulevard" and "Park Pobedy". Three cars derailed in the tunnel between the two stations for an unknown reason in the morning of July 15.

The stations remain closed, and people leave flowers in a small garden near "Park Pobedy" station and near the entrance to the station. Many are crying.

On the day of mourning, flags will fly at half mast throughout the city. All entertaining events in the city have been canceled. Many clubs and restaurants changed their traditional evening programs. All churches of the Russian capital today will hold services to pray for those who lost their lives or suffered injuries in the deadliest metro accident in many years.
