Сюжет
A troika is a traditional Russian harness driving combination, using three horses abreast, usually pulling a sleigh. Troika has become a cultural icon of Russia, especially after it was featured in a scene of Nikolay Gogol's novel Dead Souls, where a "troika-bird" rides through the vast expanses of Russia. At full speed a troika can reach 45–50 kilometres per hour, which was a very high speed on land for vehicles in the 17th-19th centuries, making the troika closely associated with the fast ride.
