        🎟 ticket

        • The Project 641B "Som" (Tango-class) submarine was built in 1979–1980 at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant in Gorky.
        • In 1980–1998 it served in the Northern Fleet and sailed to the Mediterranean and the coast of Africa.
        • At first they wanted to place the submarine on the Kremlin Embankment, then in Gorky Park.
        • The museum opened on 26 July 2006; an entrance in the bow and an exit in the stern were cut into the hull for visitors.
        • All six torpedo tubes are preserved, and the former engine compartment is taken up by an exhibition.
        • In winter the conning tower is closed: it is dangerous on the icy steps.

        • The Orlyonok was created at Rostislav Alekseev's design bureau and entered Soviet Navy service in November 1979.
        • The ekranoplan carried up to 200 marines or two armored vehicles and reached 400–500 km/h.
        • The nose swings aside together with the pilots' cabin, which is how troops and equipment were loaded.
        • Five Orlyonoks were built in all, although the Navy's plans called for 120.
        • In summer 2007 the best-preserved example was towed along the Volga from Kaspiysk to Moscow.
        • During trials on the Volga in 1972, locals were told it was an airplane that had landed on the water and was being moved.

        • A Neolithic site from the 3rd–2nd millennium BC and a Slavic settlement were found on the park's grounds.
        • The park's bay is the remnant of the large ravine of the Zakharkovsky stream.
        • The alley for Pushkin's 200th anniversary, with a memorial stone, was laid out in 1999.
