Old Russia

"They say this was where mankind first reached beyond the confines of Earth. Whatever promise this place once offered is long gone—now it just holds the bones of that long-forgotten time."

- Area Description

Old Russia is a toxic area on Earth that was once modern day Kazakhstan during the Golden Age. There was a large walled structure built here for the purpose of protecting numerous colony ships meant to flee Earth during the Collapse, and evidence of refugees attempting to escape the planet still remains. This wall is occupied by Rixis, Archon Slayer, and numerous Fallen from the House of Devils. Orange, burnt grass steppes and dimly lit interiors of old buildings are a magnet for invading Fallen Soldiers.

Gameplay
While players will explore many areas of Earth in the long-term Destiny storyline, the first major location is Old Russia. Specifically, Guardians explore the devastated ruins of the Cosmodrome and its surrounding area—a real-world site in modern day Kazakhstan that has long been the launch site for the Russian space program.
