Viktor Talalikhin was buried in Moscow’s Novodevichy Cemetery with full military honours. His name was forever listed among personnel of the 1st squadron of a fighter aircraft regiment with whom he served near Moscow. Streets in multiple Russian cities, including Moscow, Volgograd, Borisoglebsk, Chelyabinsk and Nizhny Novgorod, as well as the Podolsk Central Park, are named in his honour.
During intense fighting in the summer of 1941, Talalikhin’s selfless feat inspired millions. Soviet pilots rammed enemy aircraft on over 600 occasions during the war.
