I was not sure if the seasonal cards were a good subject, they are fairly well known after all. B ut yes, a bonus episode with them next winter would make sense.
Great work so far and I guess we all the enthusiasts of the Soviet Space Programme, expect even more from you Nick.
One particular theme I would like to learn more is the space projects from Vladimir Tchelomei, namely the huge or montruous projects of rockets, like UR-700 M and even heavier ones up the one that could put in LEO 750 tonnes!
Also the Raketoplan projects R2 manned and unmanned. Etc, etc.
I know that even from RGANTD is not available yet.
Also the development from, earlier sketches, of UR 500.
I have some information on Chelomei's early spaceplanes, but it doesn't really have enough information for a well informed article. Similarly with the UR-700m and UR-900.
I did post some pictures of his LK-1 in the first "Nuggets" article
Seeing more about the space stations designed for N1 would be fantastic! There's so little about them online, basically all restricted to the 1994 issue of Spaceflight and without a lot of context either
Looking forward to your post on Soviet Space Propaganda posters.
Also, I think it would be fun to see Soviet winter holiday cards, such as the ones you’ve shared on social media ... perhaps next season.
I will move that up the queue then!

Thanks for the suggestion
