...long, slim jetliner was trying to land at night in heavy rain at Sheremetyevo Airport, 18 miles northwest of Moscow, and by some accounts was making its fourth pass at the runway. Villagers in the nearby hamlet of Krasnaya Polyana (Red Glade) suddenly heard a series of explosions. Tramping by torchlight across muddy potato fields, they found the red and silver tail of the Aeroflot Ilyushin-62 sticking out of a cold brown pond. Beneath the water, or on the fields across which the plane had skidded, were the bodies of all the passengers and crew. Unofficial reports indicated that...
...earnest with the coming of June, it will be the source of rich business for airport authorities, who usually lease the shops to private entrepreneurs. The goods that they offer are as varied as diamonds at Amsterdam's Schiphol, fur hats ($10 to $75) at Moscow's Sheremetyevo, and what one experienced traveler describes as "jars filled with something looking suspiciously like pickled men's feet" at Lome, Togo...
...flight began at Moscow's modern Sheremetyevo International Airport, where Aeroflot Official Aleksandr Besedin briefly spoke of a "new era" for the 46-year-old state airline, which has round-the-world aspirations.

There were no bear hugs for Chou, though Kosygin did bring a bouquet of flowers. Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev stayed home, possibly to show that Russia was not overeager and to keep the visit a formal matter...
...shouts of dobro pozhalovat (welcome ) from crowds of flower-bearing Russians, Composer Igor Stravinsky, 80, arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport and set foot on his native soil for the first time in 52 years. For the frail, cane-carrying composer, whose symphonic ballets were branded "corrupt and bourgeois" during Stalin's day, it was an emotional homecoming. "I left Czarist Russia and have returned to the Soviet Union, which I greet," said Stravinsky in Russian. "It is a great joy." After a tender meeting with a niece he had known only through an exchange of letters, Stravinsky...
