It's hard to really discuss them without the supporting material Jim.


One thing that does spring to mind from reading them however is this;

In some ways, Russia reminds me of Britain in the 20's and 30's - a
nation fallen on hard times that desperately wants to keep her seat at
the table of Great Nations. The key product of this, on the space
side of the house, has been a flood of glossy presentations on
ambitious projects that Russia intends to do Real Soon Now.

Or are these glossies the result of the (confusingly varied) space
authorities trying to remain relevant and current?
