This year I made a total of 6 Soviet Planes and Helicopters.
It was quite fun to make them and I learned a lot building them; for example I stopped using LEGO windscreens and instead used brick built canopies.
This however limits the room available for a minifig inside but it´s more accurate and sturdy. I also continue to use heavy quantities of Curved Slopes, those parts are awesome to achieve the correct shape of those planes.
I already have an idea for next year Plane Collection Display. We shall see what I will make

The ER200 was a Soviet electric train built in Riga by Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca. It was the first high-speed Direct Current intercity Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) with rheostatic brake. There were two designs. First in 1974 came the ER200-1 EMU which went into commercial operation in 1984. A 1992 design went into operation between Saint-Petersburg and Moscow in 1996.

ЭР200 (иногда встречается ЭР-200 — электропоезд рижский, с конструкционной скоростью 200 км/ч, заводское обозначение — 62-110) — советский скоростной электропоезд постоянного тока. Выпуcкался Рижским вагоностроительным заводом (латыш. Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca, RVR), который строил его совместно с Рижским электромашиностроительным заводом (латыш. Rīgas Elektromašinbūves Rūpnīca, RER, поставлял электрооборудование) при участии ряда научных институтов (МИИТ, ТИАСУР и др.). Регулярная эксплуатация электропоезда началась 1 марта 1984 года.
На железных дорогах СССР в 1965—1966 гг. был завершён комплекс работ по определению основных параметров подвижного состава с конструкционной скоростью 200—250 км/ч. В 1967 году было утверждено техническое задание на 14-вагонный электропоезд постоянного тока напряжением 3 кВ типа ЭР200. К выполнению этой работы были подключены научные и конструкторские подразделения промышленности. В общей сложности, в разработке и создании электропоезда ЭР200 участвовали коллективы более 50 научно-исследовательских институтов, проектных организаций и заводов.
В декабре 1973 года опытный электропоезд вышел из ворот Рижского вагоностроительного завода.
В 1974 году электропоезд поступил для обкатки и испытаний на скоростной полигон ВНИИЖТа Белореченская — Майкоп. Здесь, после заводской наладки и обкаточных испытаний со скоростями до 200 км/ч, в 1975 году были проведены комплексные приёмочные испытания. Испытания шли по двум основным программам: первая предусматривала исследования динамических ходовых показателей, вторая — изучение тягово-энергетических параметров. В 1975 году на перегоне Ханская — Белореченская впервые была достигнута скорость движения электропоезда 210 км/ч. Испытания показали, что основные тяговые и тормозные характеристики поезда соответствуют техническим условиям и по достигнутым на полигоне динамическим показателям при скоростях 200—210 км/ч он может быть допущен к продолжению комплексных испытаний на Октябрьской железной дороге.
После испытаний электропоезд был приписан в парк локомотивного депо Ленинград-Пассажирский-Московский (ТЧ-8) Октябрьской железной дороги. После строительства моторвагонного депо Санкт-Петербург-Московское (ТЧ-10) п. Металлострой в 2000 году был туда передан, где производится техническое обслуживание и текущий ремонт.
Испытания на Октябрьской дороге проводились в 1976 году.
Работа по проверке надежности ряда ответственных узлов в условиях эксплуатации, их модернизация и усиление велась около 6 лет. Перед началом постоянной эксплуатации поезда с пассажирами был произведён подъёмочный ремонт (ТР-3), была проведена повторная наладка систем поезда, устранены отдельные дефекты, выявленные ранее на скоростном полигоне. С 1 марта 1984 года электропоезд был поставлен на постоянную нитку в графике поездов.

ACS-1 Mig Clock
"The ACS-1 aircraft clock is one of the most fascinating clocks I have found, not only because of its military application, but also because of its complications.
It was made for the fastest and highest-flying Soviet/Russian fighter jet planes (such as MiG-23, MiG-25, MiG-29 and Su-27), original Russian Air Force issue, and produced by Molnija, Мопния, (Chelyabinsk Watch Factory), in Chelyabinsk, Челябинск, east of the Ural Mountains, about 1500 km. east of Moscow.
It has a timer and a seconds chronograph. The top dial shows the number of hours and minutes that, for example, the pilot has been in flight. The bottom dial shows the minutes and seconds elapsed, in a separate and independent stopwatch. I found the first two photos on the internet. The first photo shows where the clock was mounted in the aircraft."

Raketa "Big Zero" (Originally designed for visually impaired people)
Brand : Raketa ("Rocket")
Petrodvorets Watch Factory* (Leningrad / Saint Petersburg)
Model: Big Zero
Year: Middle 80'
Caliber: 2609.HA, hand-wound, 19 jewels
Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev wore a Big Zero, and on one occasion, when asked by Italian journalists what "perestroika" meant for Russia, he said that Russians wanted to start their lives from zero, and showed them the watch to illustrate his point.
The next day his photographs appeared on the papers with caption like, "The Russians are starting all over again from zero!"

Noi Trotskii (1895-1940)
The striking 50m tower of the Kirovskii district soviet in Leningrad. Photo 1934.
Noi (Noah) Abramovich Trotsky (Russian: 1895 – 1940) was a renowned Soviet architect. Trotsky took art classes from the renowned painter Nicholas Roerich, graduated from the Academy of Arts in 1920 (then named "Petrograd Free Art Workshops") and 2nd Polytechnic in 1921. He also apprenticed with "Red Doric" architect Ivan Fomin around the same time.
Often cited for his turn from Constructivism towards Stalinist neo-Classicism in the 1930s, Trotsky's training under Fomin indicates a long familiarity with classical forms. The high point of his Constructivist work is probably the Kirov District Administration building of 1938.
Trotsky's best-known project is the House of Soviets in Saint Petersburg. At the year of its completion, the building was the largest office building in Saint Petersburg (then Leningrad). In March 1936, the Leningrad Soviet decided to relocate all the city's administration to a new site at the southern end of International Avenue. In open tender, Trotsky's project was selected over ten others. It was completed after Trotsky death, with co-authors Modest Shepilevsky and Yakov Lukin, and it features an impressive 11-meter-high frieze by Soviet sculptor Nikolai Tomsky.
He died in 1940 and is buried at the Volkovo Cemetery in Saint Petersburg.

A photo from October 1983. I had been walking along Smolenskaya Naberezhnaya Street by the Moskva River and had just taken a photo of the British Embassy. That was a dodgy thing to do at the time: it was still the Communist USSR - and there were strict restrictions on what one could photograph.
I was putting my camera back in its bag when I heard a shout and saw a soldier beckoning me from a nearby truck. I was convinced I was going to end up in the infamous Lubyanka prison for flouting the rules! It was with some trepidation therefore that I approached. However, I needn't have worried. The soldier - the one with his hands on the tailgate in the shot - said in halting English: "You take our photo!". Whereupon he and his colleagues grinned for the camera and I clicked the shutter.
I've often wondered what became of them. Possibly sent to Afghanistan (the USSR invaded in 1979 and the war lasted until 1989 when the Soviets withdrew). If so, it is probable that many of them died there.
Note: the CA lettering on their uniforms stands for Soviet Army (Sovetskaya Armiya) - the Cyrillic CA is SA in the Latin alphabet. The MHФ letters on the tailgate translate to MNF. Multi National Force? That would make sense given the different ethnicities in the group.
Soviet Relic in a abandoned Military Base in East Germany.
The military complex was built by the germans and controlled by the Wehrmacht between 1937-1945, after the war it was used by Soviet troops until 1992, abandoned since `92
Area 120, Mongolia. Military building constructed 1982. The slogan reads: "Glory to Communist Party of Soviet Union". After 1955 when Khruschev condemned the ‘excesses’ of Stalin's Empire style, Soviet architecture became characterised by geometrical austerity.
Military buildings, faced typically with white silicate bricks, were built as economically as possible using simple standard designs.

In the guard station, these panels were used for communication throughout the KGB Prison in Soviet times.
The Antonov AN-2 was the first of the Antonov Bureau's designs. Designed to meet a 1947 Soviet requirement for a replacement for the Polikarpov Po-2 which was used in large numbers as both an agricultural aircraft and a utility aircraft.
