Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, a native of the Tambov region, was the first woman to be awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War. The heroic image of the legendary Soviet intelligence officer is immortalized in a monument erected in Tambov in 1947. Located in a picturesque park on Sovetskaya Street, this monument has become a symbol of resilience and courage.

The monument was created by outstanding craftsmen: Matvey Manizer was the sculptor, and Ilya Langbard was the architect. The composition depicts a young girl leaving for the partisan underground. The image is executed with subtlety and expressiveness, emphasizing the remarkable resemblance to the heroine's true appearance, conveying a sense of inner strength and determination to sacrifice her life for the victory over the enemy.

The monument's magnificent work is seamlessly integrated into the urban landscape, drawing attention with its well-maintained flower garden and surrounding apple trees.

The area around the monument is often the site of public events, rallies, and festive gatherings.
