The ultra-modern spaceport “East”, which is being built on the territory of Amur region, will serve to start of old Soviet “Soyuz”. This information was confirmed by the Russian Space Agency.
Russian space agency has decided to launch a spacecraft since the Soviet Union (truck “Union” was created in 1960) with the future launch pad “East”. It is worth noting that the “union” still actively used the Russian Federation for flights to orbit the Earth.
As the newspaper writes “Izvestia”, the press service of the Russian Space Agency confirmed this information. Mikhail Fadeev, head of the information department unite Rocket and Space Corporation explained in 2018 will be made the first manned flight with a spaceport under construction. Will go into orbit “legend of domestic kosmoproma” ship “Soyuz”. Unmanned starts with “Eastern” is scheduled to begin in December of this year. 
« spaceport “East” was conceived as a tool for high-tech development of the Far East – lead “Izvestia”, the words of Andrei Ioannina, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics Tsiolkovsky. – To plan an international spaceport with new technologies. From this perspective, of course, a project to launch out good, but old equipment does not fit into the plan. Especially that the ship will be placed near Moscow, and the rocket in Samara ».
It should be recalled, for the construction of ultramodern spaceport took 139 billion. Rubles. Why spend so much money to the site without having to modern ship starts, remains a mystery. “Union” could easily fly and available “Plesetsk” and “Baikonur». 
Loud space program of the Russian Federation also looks really fantastic. What is Russia’s “expert” plan to fly to the moon, not to mention Mars, we can only guess.
