Minsk World is a large decommissioned Soviet aircraft-carrier that has been converted into a "Russian Military Theme Park" for Chinese tourists. It is located in Shenzhen and houses a Russian Cosmonautics Museum, which is where most of these pics are from...

The Minsk World walk-around mascot - It's MINSKY!!!

The museum exhibits everything from dummy cosmonauts in a range of space suits, to space tools, and space food. We took lots of pictures of probes and capsules as part of our COSMIC BABY research.


But we really came to see STRELKA, the stuffed Russian canine cosmonaut who (with companion, Belka) had made it to space and back in 1965. One of Strelka's puppies was given by Kruschev to J F Kennedy as a present.
It's STRELKA!!!!
