This is the boat,
originally called "Б-396", then renamed "Новосибирскый Комсомолец" (
Novosibirsky Komsomolets). It is moored on the
Tushino bank of the
Khimki reservoir, on the Moscow-Volga canal. It has been jacked up on piles to expose the
propellers to view. Notice the St Andrew's cross on the stern. This was the
pre-Revolutionary Russian Naval ensign, and is the post-Soviet one too. Other boats will shortly be joining the exhibition. The entrance is 150 roubles (£3). The very friendly and
knowledgeable guide speaks Russian only. It can be reached by a half-mile walk from Metro station Сходненская.
