'''Old Russia''' is the name to the area of [[Earth]] that was once modern day Russia during the [[Golden Age]]. There is a large wall-like structure somewhere in Old Russia. This wall is home to the mini-boss [[Rixis, Archon Slayer]], and numerous [[Fallen]].

There was a 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.

==Gameplay==
While players will explore many areas of Earth in the long-term ''Destiny'' storyline, the first major location is Old Russia. Specifically, Guardians are first revived by their [[Ghost]]s just outside the devastated ruins of the [[Cosmodrome]] in [[A Guardian Rises]], and explore its surrounding area—a real-world site in modern day Kazakhstan that has long been the launch site for the Russian space program.
 
Old Russia has five [[Gold Chest]]s. Finding them all will unlock an Uncommon [[Sparrow]].<ref name = "Beta">'''Bungie (2014-7-17)''', ''Destiny: Beta''</ref>
