Transport of the OK-TVA shuttle to the VDNKh park
During the night 5 to 6 of July 2014 the Buran OK-TVA was transported from the Gorky park to the VDNKh park. It has been there since 1995 after being a restaurant, a tourist attraction and then a shelter for bicycles.
It is now in the VDNKh parc right in front of the Vostok rocket (the same used by Gagarine).
Soon will be an exposition inside the shuttle.
