Soyuz space capsule that flew emergency abort lands on display in Moscow

A Russian space capsule that carried its crew to a landing after the rocket it was atop broke apart mid-flight has touched down in Moscow as a monument to mission safety.

The Soyuz MS-10 descent module that on Oct. 11, 2018 made an emergency return to Earth with cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin and astronaut Nick Hague was unveiled as part of a new installation outside of the headquarters of the Russian space agency Roscosmos on Monday (Dec. 2).

How long before it's stolen for scrap or vandalised?

Less likely in central Moscow. Very little grafitti or vandalism. Plenty of police and probably FSB. They handled the Football World Cup without incident.

Weathering of the Soyuz is most likely. At least they didn't paint it. The Yurchikhin, Nyberg, Parmitano return Soyuz, for a short while, appeared outside the Moscow Memorial Museum last year. They had painted it black, covering the preferred burnt exterior look plus chalk signatures of thanks.
