Superhero style statue of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, when I was a kid I was dreaming of becoming someone like cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin… he was the man!
Russian cosmonaut and first man in space Yuri Gagarin is commemorated in epic superhero style by a 40 foot tall titanium statue on Leninsky Avenue in Moscow. Designed by Pavel Bondarenko and architect Yakov Belopolskiy and erected in 1980, the statue stands atop a towering 90 foot pedestal. Travel photographer David Coleman (Have Camera Will Travel) has posted more info on the statue. via Super Punch photo 1 by James Vaughan, photo 2 by Babak Fakhamzadeh
