More of a what if than fantasy as in 1974 Aeroflot were very interested in the L1011 and there was even talk of the 1011 being built in the USSR, however this was blocked by the US government so it never came to fruition, no doubt the worry of the technology appearing in the IL86 and the more durable and reliable RB-211's were something that played a big part in the decision?

Anyway as requested and with a touch of artistic licence here is the TriStar 1 in Aeroflot colours

The old Aeroflot livery suits the l10 so much, that the 1011 even looks like a Russian design!
