They have a second example - the static test airframe - and enough parts
to make it flyable.

Following the success of the first 'Mriya' (Dream), Antonov are
considering putting it into service - if they can get the money!

Correct, it was designed for the Buran. However, the aircraft is now in
service for outsized cargo flights. It lay idle for over 3 years before
they decided to refurbish it for commercial flights. The 124 was used for so
many things from Ostriches and Giraffes to satellites and tanks. The 225
will do the same but just more of it. Check out www.airfoyle.co.uk

This Antonov, do anyone know what they were thinking of as a cargo?

Buran.
