Another ten years passed, and Zarya underwent another major overhaul, this time in the city of Antwerp.

But soon after the repair, reforms began in the country and ... the Academy of Sciences of the USSR became unable to pay its scientists.

"Zarya" was sold for a song to some random people who dragged her to the muddy shore of the Gulf of Finland in the Oranienbaum area and burned to the ground, having extracted several tons of non-ferrous metals in such an exotic way...

I don't want to comment on this criminal barbarity, and I won't… My heart hurts, you know… http://migel-debota.narod.ru/zaria.htm

Reported (Russian Wikipedia) laid up at St Petersburg c1991 due to lack of funding, then broken up later in the 1990s. Does anyone have official or newspaper report?
