  Russia Shifts Its Focus Away From Mir

                                And M. V. Khrunichev, a rival industrial
  center that produced the first segment of the new space station for the

Um, wasn't that the *US* government for whom they produced the "first segment"

Astronautica_ says, "The U.S.-funded and Russian-built Zarya was a
U.S. component of the station although it was built by the Khrunichev State
Research and Production Space Centre (KhSC) in Moscow under a subcontract to
The Boeing Co. for NASA."
