@ Maxmixiv: I was looking at pictures of your city, Omsk, yesterday. It looks really cool and it's not that far north of Baikonur. Do you ever watch the Soyuz launches? Just curious. I've been checking out lots of cities all over Russia.
Omsk looks cool

Sorry, I never visited Baikonur, never heard of anyone being there, and last time I watched Soyuz starting was on TV (First channel!), about 1978-1979 I think.
