Novovoronezh

[1] As a municipal division, this administrative unit also has urban okrug status.

Novovoronezh was established along with the start of the future nuclear power plant construction works in 1957.

[9] It was then called the urban settlement of Novo-Graessovsky, but renamed its current name later the same year.

The forged sculptural composition, which cost the city a million rubles and caused negative feedback[11] from citizens, was dismantled three days after installation and later sold at auction for 2.6 million rubles.

The updated monument to Alyonka, but already made of bronze, was opened on July 1, 2022.
