Its a very rare experience to see an Mi-1 helicopter startup, because as I know there are only 3 in the world, what is in the condition of startup and only one of them is in flying conditions.
This helicopter belongs to a Hungarian aircraft mechanic school's instructor fleet.

The Mil Mi-1 NATO reporting name "Hare" was a Soviet three- or four-seat light utility helicopter. It was the first Soviet helicopter to enter serial production. It is powered by one 575 hp Ivchenko AI-26V radial. It entered service in 1950 and was first seen on the 1951 Soviet Aviation Day, Tushino and was produced for 16 years. More than 1,000 were built in the USSR and 1,594 in Poland, as SM-1.

Mikhail Mil began work on rotary-winged aircraft before 1930, but the Mi-1, his first production helicopter, was begun in 1946, under a designation EG-1. In 1947 Mil became a head of OKB-4 design bureau in Tushino, and works were intensified. A final design was named GM-1
