Walk of Fame in Saransk

The Walk of Fame is a memorial and sculptural complex, which is part of the picturesque Park of Culture and Recreation named after A.S. Pushkin. The opening of the complex took place in the late 1970s on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the autonomy of the Mordovian Territory.

On the wall in the park, the names of Heroes of Socialist Labor and Heroes of the Soviet Union were placed, the modern history of the Mordovian Territory is presented. In addition, the Walk of Fame is a place where you can see busts of all famous and talented countrymen who have made a significant contribution to the development of culture throughout the country.
