World Cup 2018: Russian city Samara, football and the space race

Where the Sputnik stadium used to stand there is a housing block, Orbita's pitch is now wasteland and the old Voskhod ground, named after a space rocket, is crumbling into ruin.

These are just some of the old football arenas in Samara, the Russian World Cup host city that is most famous for helping drive the Soviet Union's space race with the United States.
About 1,000km south east of Moscow on the Volga river, Samara's factories built the rocket that in 1961 propelled Yuri Gagarin into orbit as the first man in space.
It is a city of about 1.2m people and is still home to Russia's aerospace and aviation industries. But since the collapse of Communism in 1991, the teams that used to represent its factories - and the places where they used to play - have been disappearing.
Take Voskhod. It means sunrise or dawn but was also the name of a series of rockets that launched the Zenit reconnaissance satellites that observed western powers during the Cold War.
