Abstract
The paper describes in outline format some historical achievements as obtained with different radio telescope antennas built at Staraya Pustin, and describes some of the current developments. The Radio-physical Research Institute (RRI or NIRFI in Russian) at Nizhny Novgorod is responsible for the Staraya Pustin facility. The main subject of the paper is a description of the possibility of constructing at this facility a 32 m radio telescope antenna, suitable for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) and stand-alone radio astronomy. Similar 32 m radio telescope antennas have been realised already at Svetloe (near St. Petersburg), Zelenchukskaya (North Caucasus) and Badary (near Irkutsk).
