Visiting the Stalin Falcon

Many people ask, “Why is there a monument to V.P. Chkalov on the main square of Nizhny Novgorod?” I answer: "Because Valery Pavlovich was born in the village of Vasilevo, Nizhny Novgorod region..." I mean, he's our countryman! Now the village of Vasilyovo is called - Chkalovsk. Wonderful house-museum, hangar with planes, views of the Volga and Gorky reservoir ... And the road there is very picturesque and full of pictures and history!
