Laying flowers at the Heroes of ALSIB memorial

August 15, 2025, Magadan

In conclusion of his working trip to Magadan, Vladimir Putin laid flowers at the Heroes of ALSIB memorial.

The monument was erected to honour the deed of the Soviet and US pilots, who used the Alaska-Siberia air route to transport military aircraft, fighters and bombers, supplied from the United States to the USSR under the Lend-Lease programme. The monument commemorates the history of cooperation between the two countries, depicting the handshake of the Soviet and US pilots against the background of a vertically positioned aircraft wing.
