When I flew in Moscow years ago to work on cleaning up a massive oil spill in the Komi Republic, both sides of the main airport runway were lined with carcasses of commercial aircraft being stripped for spare parts. There is a rason they sell T-shirts that say "I Survived Flying with Aeroflot"

The whole of the Old Soviet is a vast junkyard holding the bones of Empire. All rotting away. Look at EnglishRussia.com website for more images of vast junkyards...
