According to the translated text, there are a lot more containers on that same courtyard, nobody seems to know what's inside..

Received the following message from Igor Lissov:

I have got official response from Olga Zakutnyaya
in the PR office of the Space Research Institute. The Institute indeed
received 14 boxes with different copies of Soviet spacecraft for
restauration and exhibition. They state that the copy of Lunokhod will
be revealed this April 12, and other exhibits will be ready by October 4.


So, action is indeed being taken and we should see Lunokhod restaured in its original glory!
