| Saratov, Russia This statue is located outside the Gagarin museum in Saratov. About Gagarin in Saratov: In 1951 Gagarin trained as a metalworker at the industrial technical school in Saratov, which is southeast of Moscow. While he was in Saratov, he joined a flying club and learned to fly airplanes. His instructor recommended him to the air force, and Gagarin began attending the Soviet Air Force cadet training school at Chkalov (now Orenburg) in Russia in 1955. He graduated from the academy with high distinction in 1957, shortly after the launch of Sputnik 1.Read more Photo: Anders Thorsell. Contact information |

| Star city, Russia Kosmonaut statue (may be Gagarin) outside the Yuri Gagarin office in star city, outside Moscow. Getting inside the closed and guarded Star city outside Moscow is not easy. this is the place where kosmonauts are trained, so were also Yuri Gagarin. We were lucky enough to meet some friendly Russians living inside the Star City and they gave us a brief tour of the area. We were however not able to visit Gagarin´s office. Photo: Anders Thorsell.
