The Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park, East Berlin, built in 1949 in honour of Soviet troops who fell during the Battle of Berlin in 1945. The 12m statue was created by Russian-Montenegrin sculptor Yevgeniy Vuchetich and depicts a soldier holding a sword in his right hand and a German child in his left while crushing a swastika underfoot, symbolizing Nazi Germany's defeat to the Soviet Union.

The Foxtrot class was the NATO reporting name of a class of diesel-electric patrol submarines that were built in the Soviet Union. The Soviet designation of this class was Project 641.
The Foxtrot class was designed to replace the earlier Zulu class, which suffered from structural weaknesses and harmonic vibration problems that limited its operational depth and submerged speed. The first Foxtrot keel was laid down in 1957 and commissioned in 1958 and the last was completed in 1983. A total of 58 were built for the Soviet Navy at the Sudomekh division of the Admiralty Shipyard (now Admiralty Wharves), St. Petersburg. Additional hulls were built for other countries.

"Listen, if you don't want to do it, then don't do it! We'll get by without you!”
- Sergei Korolev to Valentin Glushko, February 11962
"... the Central Committee is approving a plan for sending an expedition to the Moon in 1968-1970. The N-1 rocket… will be used for this purpose. The plan is still only on paper, while the Americans already have done much for carrying fights to the Moon."
- Nikolai P. Kamanin, February 1964
"I read the decree which states that the 1964 decisions… on orbiting the Moon and landing humans on the Moon are not being fulfilled properly... There are sure to be many more such resolutions, rebukes, and reprimands. But papers and reprimands don't get anywhere; too much time has been wasted."
- Nikolai P. Kamanin, November 1966
