| for the conguers of the near univers |
This is the monument, which was designed by Moscow sculptor Boris Edunov and was erected in 1980 on Leonova street. We suppose that everyone have seen it. This masterpiece is devoted to conquers of the near Universe and also known as monument of brothers astronauts: Alex Leonov, Yuriy Romanenko and Viktor Pacaev.Their names are placed on the plinth.
So,It is the huge metal construction,resembling the mirrored number nine and it is the reason that some people are also calling this monument *Hi from nine*. Inside the circle we can see a man with raised arms. Such large palms, which are a bit smaller, then the head symbolize how fervently the astronauts wanted to reach space. On the orbit, surrounding the astronaut you may read a quote of Ciolkovskiy.
I want to add that Boris Edunov has also designed the monument of mother of Russia.And according to the local stories the astronaut is changing the position of his arms at midnight.
