Talk:Kubinka Tank Museum

is this museum the largest collection of tanks in the world or something?

The largest collection of AFV's is in the Musée des BlindésatSaumur; the largest of tanks proper in the Bovington Tank Museum. Kubinka is probably the third largest though.--MWAK 07:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

I changed Maus to Panzer VIII Maus so that it now correctly points to the tank, and not the graphic novel. Kytok 06:28, 17 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

This is the translation from the website's FAQ. Something about the "5-6 weeks in advance we need to know where are you staying/your interest/your background information" bit makes me think they're still deeply suspicious that some Western spy is going to sneak in and photograph their antique tanks for the CIA. Also makes me think they'll deny you permission to visit if they don't like your explanations:

I live in USA. In 2 months I am going to visit Russia as the usual tourist. How can I receive the permission and when you recommend me to send the request?

- You have to send us your ID (see below) in 5-6 weeks in advance for approval. We additional require you TO INFORM us in advance about your visit to discuss some question. The information about yourself is:

- The range when you can visit museum, the best days for you. Ex.: "April 10, 11, 14"
- The Hotel were do you stay in Russia. Ex.: "Hotel Izmailovo"
- Your specific interest. Ex.: "German WWII tanks, Soviet Cold War armored vehicles". I am militaria collector and re-enactor"
- Your knowledge of the historical vehicles. Ex.: "I have the strong knowledge of the Japan tanks and the history of Soviet-Japan War in 1945. I have also the technical (historical) background"
