At the end of 90-s some parts sent to the Russian Mir space station were found and bought at flea market - these parts had been pinched from work and their production ceased during those years of collapse in USSR/Russia.

Those parts really belong in a museum somewhere because they are an important part of history, irrespective of politics.

What happened to them?
