It seems an 'urban explorer' has taken a look inside an old abandoned hangar in Kazakhstan and found something of historical interest to space buffs everywhere:

What an amazing find!

If you're not a scientist but you think you've destroyed the foundation of a vast scientific edifice with 10 minutes of Googling, you might want to consider the possibility that you're wrong.

I don't think that they were the actual Burans. They were full scale boilerplates of the orbiter. I have the original Russain article somewhere...lemme have a look.

Found it:

According to Google Translate: "Currently, within the MKS are two ships, one of which is the second flying prototype "Storm" and other technological layout of OK-MT for testing pre-launch operations. However, despite the fact that this layout, inside and outside it looks like a ship. Both are not in the best condition, and because of that they are mutually reinforcing."
Must have been an awesome site to get into!
