Ch ( Russian Х ) is the name of a two-axle tram car type built by the Mytishchinsky Maschinostroitelny Sawod ( Mytishchi machine factory ) and Ust-Katawer Kirow-Waggonbaufabrik ( Soviet Union ) . The Cyrillic letter Х means Kharkov type (Russian Харьковский тип ) after the city whose transport company ordered the first series of these cars.

The Ch-type trams drove in Moscow , Leningrad , Gorky , Kiev , Minsk and many other Soviet cities from 1928 to 1972. Usually the railcars ran together with a two-axle M- sidecar (Russian М for Московский тип , Moscow type ).
