Cosmonauts Alley (2018)

The park-like avenue is punctuated by large stone memorials of important figures in the Soviet space program. At its terminus below the monument, a larger-than-life statue of Soviet rocket pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857–1935) sits facing back down the path. In 2008, Cosmonauts Alley was under a reconstruction, adding: A model of the Solar System, Monument of Sergey Korolev and star-shaped granite monuments which display important events in Russian cosmonautics.
