Hello,

  I happened to be dial grazing the other night and watched part of the
Moscow to Paris "auto" relay.  At one point the soviet commentator said that
the crews stopped to examine "Yuri Gagarin's" space craft. The video showed
a couple of people walking through some scrub brush in the middle of nowhere
(apparently) and looking over what sure looked like a stripped descent
module ! (with little rust - must be titanium  ;-)
  Could this be truly just "left out there" ?  Or, would they have left this
module as an in situ display or monument.
  You see the weirdest things on cable TV ...         happy holidays !
