As mentioned in a post in the Warbirds Exported from Russia thread, I had a chance to visit the Museum of the Great Patriotic War in 2014. While I was there I took some pictures of the of aircraft and aircraft engines on outdoor display there. However, I never got around to sharing them, so please find them below:

Unfortunately, the battery on my camera died part way through the exhibition, so I missed some stuff like the Li-2. On the upside, however, compared to the other pictures online, such as those on Wikimedia Commons, mine are the only ones I've seen that have captured the display placards in a way that is readily legible. So consider them a look into the way the story of World War II is told in Russia. In particular, note how many are stated to be mockups.
