tvkultura.ru reports that the house where Gagarin lived during his pre-cosmonaut days while serving for the northern air fleet has been moved to the closed military town of Safonovo ~25km NE from Murmansk, where it has been restored and made part of the local aviation museum exposition.
The museum can be visited “by appointment only” and a permit, said to take about a month to obtain, is required to enter Safonovo.
Museum’s tel. number is +7(81537)64398.

I’m pleased present my old friend Alena, the owner and mastermind of the Lada Studios. Several years ago she gave up on science (biology) that pays crap here, and re-invented herself as a makeup artist.
Studio and outdoor photography, weddings, or the “fantasy” genre. Her personal favourite is body art.
Tel. +7 908 605 2911. Russian only but if you need help communicating write to umkasever@yandex.ru with copy to alexandragor4@yandex.ru.
