Park named after Academician Sakharov
The park was named in 1996 in honor of Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov (on the 75th anniversary of the academician’s birth).
In 1988, the Peace Bell was installed in the park in memory of the victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
This is a copy of the monument to the victims of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki by Japanese sculptor Matsuoka Kunichi. The monument was a reciprocal gift from the residents of Nagasaki, in whose Peace Park there was a monument “Mother and Child” by Mikhail Anikushin. On August 8, 2003, a monument to victims of radiation accidents and disasters was unveiled in the southeastern part of the park (sculptor I. B. Korneev, architect V. B. Bukhaev, engineer I. Bukato).
