The journey ended with Gagarin s landing near the city of Engels in the Saratov Region. After the landing, Gagarin took a flight to Samara and spent several days there. During the Great Patriotic War, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, Dmitry Shostakovich, lived and worked in Samara. Here, his famous Symphony No. 7 was written and performed for the first time: this hymn to humanity was performed by the Bolshoi Theater s orchestra. The list of the city s landmarks also includes a brewery, which was built back in 1881 by Austrian nobleman Alfred von Vacano. The brewery is still running and open to visitors who wish to admire the beauty of its old Renaissance Germanystyle buildings and, of course, taste the freshly brewed Zhigulevskoe beer. The ancient mine drifts in the Samara Region s township of Shiryaevo are one of the most mysterious tourist attractions in the regions. It is a whole underground city connected by a system of tunnels, which are wide enough to easily fit a double-decker. Mount Strelnaya is the highest peak (375 m above sea level) of the Zhiguli Mountains. Stone boulders atop the mountain form a small grotto, which, according to legend, served as the lookout post for Stepan Razin s troops. From there, robbers could survey the Volga River for over 40 km. After spotting an approaching caravan, they would signal their accomplices who were hiding behind the islands dotting the river
