The planned Russia Pavilion to be built in the World Showcase at Epcot, Walt Disney World Resort.
Despite the frosty relations between the US and the Soviet Union, plans were drawn up in the early 19
...
90s for a Russia Pavilion. The concept artwork shows that it would have been dominated by a recreation of St. Basil's Cathedral. The central attraction would have been "Russia - The Bells of Change", a show that would combine audio-animatronics, movie footage and live actors to bring the history of the country to life.
The proposed area had two rides: a sled journey through the Russian scenery, and a ride-through attraction based on Russia’s famous folk tale The Fool and the Fish (Ivan and the Magic Pike). The story is about Ivan, a young fool who spares the life of a fish, specifically a pike. It just so happens that the pike is magical, and in return, Ivan is granted wishes from the pike.
The collapse of the Soviet Union put an end to the plan.
