I come from Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan was once a member of the Soviet Union. And we have built a Baikonur cosmodrome in our country. Which is still actively used by the Russian Federation on a lease basis.

Recently renowned Rifer Vitaly Raskalov with a team of like-minded people has sneaked into the abandoned hangars of the world's largest cosmodrome Baikonur. Inside, the travelers made unique images of the first and last Soviet reusable space shuttle Buran, which has been abandoned for many years.

It's a pity to see the desolation of the brainchild of our cosmonautics.
