I thought it would be Cosmos 2492: have I missed a couple of Cosmos designators somewhere?

Can someone explain this photo?  Is that a display?  If so, I've never seen a booster displayed vertically suspended in mid-air :)
Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."

I think that the Vostok launcher is still displayed outside the KOCMOC pavillion at what used to the Economics Achievements park in Moscow.

Sometimes it is displayed vertically like the photo here.   When I was there way back in 1988 it was horizontal.

That's no help without an explanation. We don't all read Russian you know! ;)

And google translate didn't help

"MOSCOW, May 6. / ITAR-TASS /. Troops of Aerospace Defense (ASD) on Tuesday will hold the launch of the spacecraft from the Baikonur military in Plesetsk."

Hold as in scrub, or hold as in host.

Note that the Russians have historically tended to "chop" launch times, ignoring seconds, rather than rounding them.
