 Vay! Where Is Kukuruznik? - HyeForum
Today when we were about to start our lesson suddenly one of the girls yelled out “ Vay!! Where is Kukuruznik?” We all hurried to look through the window.
Being busy with our everyday life and studies, before that we never paid attention that something was wrong with the view from our classroom window.
Kukuruznik is not that old, it was built during the Soviet era and almost every ex-Soviet republic has one of those and quite honestly it is very ugly

 Po-2 Camouflage, Part 1
But, surely, there is no realistic contender to the title of "most colourful camouflage", for that spot is held tenaciously by the incredibly versatile Polikarpov U-2/Po-2 biplane.
So many sobriquets have been applied to this machine that they might fill a catalogue of their own, but the most common--and I think endearing--of these was probably the kukuruznik, or 'corn stalk cutter'.
What is all more fascinating about this aircraft is that the preponderance of remarkable camouflage schemes worn by it were, in fact, applied at the factories, and were not the result of field application irregularities.

There, for the first time he uttered a telling sentence that upset a hoary party line: "We want to have friendship with the American people and the American Government—and I draw no line of distinction between the people and the Government of the United States."
For Kukuruznik (corn man) Khrushchev, the big treat of the week was his trip to Iowa for an inspection of advanced farming practices, corn and beef production near Coon Rapids.
His host: crag-faced, cranky Millionaire Roswell Garst, who has been to Russia twice to sell corn seed to the U.S.S.R. There amid the alien corn the Premier of the U.S.S.R., Garst, and the tenuous U.S.-Soviet relations nearly got trampled for good under a 300-man brigade of shouting, shoving newsmen (see PRESS).

 WORLDWAR: STRIKING THE BALANCE
All in all, they told her nothing she didn't already know: the Wheatcutter had plenty of fuel for the mission she was going to fly, the compass did a satisfactory job of pointing toward north, and the altimeter said she was still on the ground.
Kukuruznik's flew low and slow and, but for the engine, had almost no metal; they evaded the Lizards' detection systems that let the alien imperialist aggressors hack more sophisticated warplanes out of the sky with ease.
Shaking her fists at the idiots who took her biplane for a Lizard aircraft, she swung away and looked around for someplace to land the Kukuruznik.

The Polikarpov U-2 or Po-2 served as a general-purpose Soviet biplane, nicknamed Kukuruznik (Russian: Кукурузник, from Russian "kukuruza" (кукуруза) for maize).
^ Soviet people later used kukuruznik as a nickname for Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, notorious for his indiscriminating introduction of maize all over the Soviet Union; as well as for a plane with similar characteristics, the Antonov An-2.

Meanwhile, the Great Patriotic War provided enough examples of women fighting as part of purely 'male' branches - Armour, Field Artillery, Air Force.
The aviation aspect of the subject boils down usually to mentioning female pilots of the 46th Gv.NBAP, who flew the famous Polikarpov Po-2 'kukuruznik' (corn-cropper) biplanes.
