To celebrate 25 years of manned space flight, this pavilion's theme focused on "Transport and Communication for Peace and Cooperation."

The Soviets were the first in space and they made sure everyone remembered it.  The pavilion's enterance was capped by a larger than life statue of the first man to orbit the earth, namely Yri Gagarin, to commemerate the historic 1961 flight.  Behind the pavilion, a Soyuz space capsule was exhibited.

Keeping with the theme, a collection of International peace agreements could be viewed in the foyer.

The main exhibit hall housed a 33 metre working space station complete with a laboratory.  Other space related exhibits included a world-wide program that uses satelites for sea based salvaging operations and an international project designed to study Halley's Comet.

Visitors could also scan the U.S.S.R.'s transportation and communications systems on a giant electronic map, view the modern transportaion systems of Moscow and Kiev, and learn about some of the U.S.S.R.'s accomplishments such as the largest nuculear powered ice-breaker or the first non-stop flight between the U.S.S.R. and North America over the North Pole.

Films and fashion shows could be seen in the theatre.
