Kazakhstan: Greetings from Baikonur | ARTE.tv Documentary

2026 · 24 min · English

The Baikonur cosmodrome, leased to Russia until 2050, was once the beating heart of the Soviet space program and is now a fading company town waiting for Kazakhstan to take it back. The film wanders its half-empty streets to catch a superpower-era relic mid-handover.
