China Used One of Russia's Prized Aircraft Carriers as a Mus

The Soviet-era Minsk aircraft carrier, originally a Kiev-class "heavy aviation cruiser," has had a unique post-service life as a museum piece in a now-defunct Chinese theme park. Named after the Belarusian capital, the Minsk was constructed in 1978 during the Cold War to compete with U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.
