The bust of Yuri Gagarin, right, and the 107-meter (351-feet) high titanium obelisk depicting a starting rocket dedicated to the first cosmonauts, in Moscow, Russia, Friday, April 9, 2021. From a giant statue towering over Moscow to a more modest monument on the Sakhalin Island in the Pacific Ocean, dozens of memorials across Russia commemorate Yuri Gagarin, the cosmonaut who became the first person in space on April 12, 1961, 60 years ago.
