Vignettes highlight local industries and points of contemporary interest, such as the launch site at Baykonur and an operation to drill through the Earth's crust at Astrakhan. Descriptive text in the lower right is organized into Land and People, Economy Undergoing Change, Political System and Foreign Affairs, and Flame of Freedom Flickers."
