Russia’s First Female Train Driver Gets Behind the Wheel
Women are entering jobs that were off limits for decades after the Labor Ministry cut its list of banned occupations. Yelena Lysenko-Saltykova said she hopes more women will follow in her footsteps. lenka.lysenko / Instagram
Nearly every weekday, Yelena Lysenko-Saltykova puts on her navy blue uniform and gets in the driving carriage of an electric commuter train to ferry passengers between Moscow’s Kievsky Railway Station and the suburb of Novoperedelkino.
It’s not something she takes for granted. As the first female suburban light rail train driver in Russia, Lysenko-Saltykova, 25, is one of a small, but growing band of women doing jobs that were off limits for decades until January, when Russia slashed its list of banned occupations from 476 to 100.
