Additional description
One of operating mills in Russia (although in the winter of 2017 one of the sails could not operate). It is located on the territory of the museum "Slavic Kremlin". You can visit the museum on particular days. For the timetable look here.

This mill has made the biggest trip of all: from Kirov region to Moscow. One of the unique details is that it's the only smock mill with eight sails. The fastening of the sails is now standard: four boards are inserted into the windshaft at different angles. The nearest neighbor (14 kilometers away before transporting) the windmill from Molotnikovskaya village had a much more more sophisticated sail system. Similar complex sail fastening was on the windmill from Kulyabovka village, which had sixteen sails. Unfortunately, both sail fastenings haven't been preserved. It was probably decided not to rebuild historical sail fastening after transporting to museum.
