Buran

Dark Roasted Blend takes a look at the Soviet version of the shuttle. They have a very nice selection of pictures, but don't show the ultimate fate of some of the test vehicles: stranded in a foreign land or converted into a theme park attraction.

I don't read Russian, but there is some neat stuff here as well.

Another site (suggested via the comments).

I featured the Buran's carrier craft in an Aircraft Cheesecake posting about a year and a half ago.
