Tushino airfield, located in the north-western part of Moscow, Russia, has been described as a "suitable" site for a Disneyland-style theme park based on national folklore and tradition.

Moscow deputy mayor Lyudmila Shvetsova revealed hopes to create a Russian-themed park when speaking to Rossiiskaya Gazeta, a government-owned daily newspaper.

It would form part of the city's plans to develop 15 new areas of parkland and recreation for the city, with sites including Hodynka and Mnevniki earmarked for potential projects.

Shvetsova referred to a "indoor" theme park scheme in Seoul, South Korea, which would be used to help adapt the development of such an attraction to suit the Moscow climate.

"My dream is to create a theme park based on our folklore, Russian fairy tales and traditions in Moscow," Shvetsova told Rossiiskaya Gazeta.
