Ufadagi Gastello yodgorligi, Military memorial in Ufa, Russia.

The Gastello Monument in Ufa is a full-length figure of pilot Nikolai Gastello in flight uniform and helmet, holding parachute ripcords, carved from black granite and standing 3.3 m tall. It rises on a 2 m pedestal of granite slabs bearing his name in metal letters and a metal Gold Star above; the surrounding area is paved with grey granite tiles.

Nikolai Gastello, a Soviet military pilot, rammed his burning bomber into an enemy mechanised column on 26 June 1941 and was posthumously named Hero of the Soviet Union on 26 July 1941. The monument by sculptor Alexander Panov was unveiled in Ufa on 8 May 1985, on the eve of the 40th anniversary of Victory; its working model had been approved by the art council of the Bashkir branch of the Art Fund a year earlier.

The monument stands in the square of the same name on Selskaya Bogorodskaya Street, in Ufa's Kalininsky district. Sculptor Alexander Panov received help from Musa Gareyev, a twice-decorated Hero of the Soviet Union, who lent his own flying coverall, helmet and revolver holster so the pilot's figure would be accurate.

The memorial is located at a street intersection in a residential neighborhood and is accessible via public transportation routes throughout the city. You can visit freely at any time without restrictions.
