Category:Statue of Yuri Gagarin in Orenburg, Bronze monument in Orenburg, Russia.
The 4-meter bronze statue depicts Yuri Gagarin in a flight suit standing on a granite pedestal featuring his engraved signature.
The monument was inaugurated on April 12, 1986, marking 25 years since the first human space flight, near the aviation school where Gagarin studied.
The memorial serves as a focal point for annual celebrations of Cosmonautics Day, with official ceremonies and flower-laying traditions on April 12.
Located on Gagarin Avenue in central Orenburg, the monument includes two stainless steel pillars behind the main figure, symbolizing space exploration.
In March 2021, the statue underwent restoration after vandalism damage, with repairs costing 350,000 rubles completed by the space flight anniversary.
