'''Old Russia''' is an area on [[Earth]] that was once modern day [[wikipedia:Kazakhstan|Kazakhstan]] during the [[Golden Age]].<ref name="gameinformer">[http://www.idigitaltimes.com/articles/21033/20131204/destiny-gameplay-details-leaked-everything-learned-game.htm '''Digital Times''']</ref> There was a large walled structure built here for the purpose of protecting numerous [[colony ship]]s 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]].<ref name="Bungie Commentary">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3G3V5PCJbk '''YouTube''': ''Building the Destiny E3 Reveal — Bungie Commentary'']</ref> 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. The Cosmodrome remained a vital link to space during humanity's [[Golden Age]], and players can see the remnants of forgotten colony ships on the launch pad during the cataclysmic [[Collapse]]. Orange, burnt grass steppes and dimly lit interiors of old buildings are a magnet for invading [[Fallen]] Soldiers.<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 52''</ref>
