Gagarinsky field
The area where Vostok landed was called the Gagarinsky field. It was not possible to keep this place in secret to the authorities, so it was decided to turn it into a memorial complex of astronautics. Here we erected a monument to Yuri Gagarin and a monument in honor of this great event, which is a small copy of the stela at the Cosmonautics Museum in Moscow. In 2011, there were installed stelae with images of all Russian cosmonauts and stelae in honor of Koroleva and Tsiolkovsky
Even in Soviet times there was a project to turn the "Gagarin field" into a tourist complex with hotels and a museum. But even today these plans have not found their embodiment. However, the urge of the Saratov authorities to "untwist" this place has been preserved, perhaps one day the Gagarin Field will really turn into a modern exhibition complex with a developed infrastructure.
Collective memory of residents of the village of Uzmorje has forever preserved the events of the distant 1961 . Remember here and about the second arrival of Yuri Alekseevich in 1965 . Many people are ready to tell tourists today about who and how he met Gagarin on April 12, where he was treated and how he was treated as an honorary worker in his collective farm . Therefore if you want ete visit "Gagarin Field", you should definitely call in this village, where pleasure will restore to you the events April 12, 1961 Mr. .In addition, there is another sight in Uzmorie - the surviving county hospital of the XIX century .
