A bit of a later era , but an image search for 'abandoned soviet space shuttle' produces great results.

Let alone anything else, that's a bonkers amount of steelwork.

I think I read somewhere one of the hangers has collapsed now. But there are some amazing shots of the 'technology' inside these things. Holy cow its agricultural (but so was the american shuttle when you look back at it now)
