Памятник Яку-7Б, Military aircraft monument in Naryan-Mar, Russia.
The Yak-7B monument sits at the corner of Smidovich and Lenin Streets and displays a full-scale aircraft replica made from strong fiberglass. The memorial space includes seating benches, planted trees, and flower beds positioned near the local church.
The memorial was established in 2010 by residents of the Nenets Autonomous Region to honor pilot Alexei Tarasov. His achievements in aviation marked an important chapter in the region's relationship with military service and heroism.
The monument reflects the town's connection to aviation history and serves as a gathering spot where local residents meet for celebrations and commemorations. It keeps alive the memory of those who played important roles in the region's story.
The monument is open to visitors throughout the day and sits in an easy-to-reach area of the city. The surrounding grounds are well-maintained with plenty of space to stop and view the memorial from different angles.
The aircraft replica is treated with special protective coatings designed to withstand harsh Arctic conditions including extreme cold and intense ultraviolet exposure. This approach keeps the memorial looking as it did when first installed, despite decades of exposure to the elements.
