A bust of the scientist and a memorial plaque have been installed.

The "Rock" facility in Korosten is a former secret underground command post of the Korosten fortified area №5, which was part of the so-called "Stalin Line".

In 1941, a detachment of 200 Red Army soldiers defended themselves against the Nazis for a week. In Soviet times, the facility remained under the control of the military, then was transferred to the civil defense system.
