    The story

    How do YOU think it got there? (And no, it wasn't fancy flying by Joe)

      kudo for this find and thanks again for sharing

      My idea

      The aircraft was slated to be displayed there to go along with the permanant commemoration of some associated event.
      It was ferried to the nearest airfield able to accomadate an AN-8
      It was then dismantled into three/four parts and then trucked to its current location where it was put together again
      It was then left forgotten

      Given the liberal amount of moss now partly covering the external surfaces, I will venture in setting the events during the Eltsine years, when Russia was virtually short of everything starting with funds ....
