The Gawker Media car culture blog Jalopnik came across the LiveJournal entry of a student at the Moscow Aviation Institute, where a cache of Soviet space hardware is held.
Apparently, students at the Moscow Aviation Institute are allowed access to this equipment, a Russian Livejournaler managed to get photos inside the lab that holds a lander, much of the docking equipment, and diagrams. The poster couldn't show everything and describes the vibe around the many parts as secretive. Not all of the other pieces are easily identifiable as more than "satellite" or "Soyuz spacecraft" or "awesome and Soviet."
Thanks to Jacques-Olivier Holzer (cS: 1202 alarm) for the heads-up!
