Amusement Parks Russia

There's little doubt it will be one of the world's strangest theme parks, a place for Russians jostled by today's tough times to travel back through the decades to more stable, Communist days. It will be a place where they can hear a radio trumpeting the launch of Sputnik and other victories in the space race with the Americans. It will be a place where, for 22 kopecks, they will be able to swig a bottle of cold beer that today costs 100 times as much.
