GIRD (Gruppa Izucheniya Reaktivhogo Dvizheniya, "Group for the Investigation of Reactive Motion") was the USSR's first rocketry program, begun in 1931. The GIRD-09, arguably the first hybrid rocket, flew for the first time on August 17, 1933. Sergei Korolev, who later designed the R-7 (Soyuz) booster, was one of the project engineers.
I was futzing around with Open Rocket and came up with a BT-55 sport scale approximation.
