Dear Kim,

there is a diorama of Berlin Operation (1945) at Marshal of the USSR Georgy
Zhukov's State Museum ([log in to unmask]) in Kaluga oblast, Russia.

As far as I remember there is the Battle of Borodino (1812) diorama in Moscow
and a military diorama in Kiev, Ukraine.

If you can read Russian, you may find some info about dioramas in Russia
at www.museum.ru (as well as contact information of Russian museums).

| I am researching a thesis on military dioramas at Australian War Memorial

| Not had much luck with the on-line museum collection sites; have found links
| to splendid natural history dioramas but little related to humans and historical
| events.  My personal e-mail is [log in to unmask]  I'd be happy
