2005 Moscow power blackouts
On 25 May 2005, Moscow's power supplies were the centre of a major incident, which resulted in the supply being outed for several hours in several Moscow regions, including "Podmoskov'ye" (the region directly surrounding Moscow), and also the Tula, Kaluga and Ryazan oblasts. Some tens of thousands of people were trapped in stranded underground trains in the Moscow Metro and in lifts, railway signalling was put out of action and many commercial and governmental organisations were paralysed.
