81-717/714 is a metro car designed in the Soviet Union in the mid-1970s. A number of Central and Eastern European countries used the car, eventually modified for their local metro network. Many still use refurbished variants of these metro cars, such as the various models used in Poland: 81-717.3, 81-714.3, 81-572, 81-573, 81-572.1, 81-573.1, 81-572.2, and 81-573.2. The Prague Metro in the Czech Republic still has these units, but modernized into variant 81-71M in service. Most variants of the 81-71 family are visually almost identical to the 81-717 and 81-714, except for 81-572.2, which has a cabin that resembles the 81-540.2 (another Russian metro car, an improved version of the 81-717 that was first produced in 2006).

These metro trains are still in service in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Sofia, Warsaw, Budapest, Yerevan and Tbilisi. The Czech modernised version (81-71M) is commonly used in Prague, transporting passengers on two lines out of 3.
