Solution :

Yuri Gagarin and Vostok 1 flight :

Gagarin's landing place, close to the River Volga and Saratov, where he studied at the flying club. At this place was built the memorial, which resembles a memorial to the Conquerors of Space "in Moscow.

Gagarin's parachute opened almost right away, and about ten minutes later, at 08:05 UT, Gagarin landed. Both he and the spacecraft landed via parachute 26 km (16 mi) south west of Engels, in the Saratov region at 51.270682°N 45.99727°E. It was 280 km to the west of the planned landing site (near Baikonur).
