Cosmonauts Alley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cosmonauts Alley is a pedestrian-only avenue in Moscow, leading up to the Monument to the Conquerors of Space. On the start of Cosmonauts Alley, several busts are placed on the left-hand side in honor of the people crucial to the successes of the Soviet space program, like Sergei Korolyov, Yuri Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova.
Participants of the festivities on Cosmonautics Day 2002 gathered near Yuri Gagarin's bust. |
