Farewell, dear VDNH!

For several years I was not at the Exhibition of Economic Achievements and decided to walk today, to see what was there and how.

Today, hundreds of visitors to the Exhibition of Achievements have witnessed how the aircraft that stood on the square in front of the Cosmos pavilion crashed and rattled before their eyes.



Aircraft, which were the hallmark of ENEA.



Planes that seemed to be standing there forever.

And what's more, they say that the rocket will also be demolished.



Goodbye VDNH from childhood. You will never be the same again ...
