 Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
Borovsk had a reputation as a town of truck farmers and traders, whose drunken fistfights and belief in witchcraft made them the laughingstock of the neighboring towns.
In Borovsk, in August 1880, Tsiolkovsky married Varvara Sokolova, the daughter of a local preacher.
The couple rented several houses during their 12 years in Borovsk, one of which became a museum when the 140th anniversary of the scientist's birth was celebrated in 1997.

The Mayor, who stepped down in 2005, extolled Borovsk’s contribution to history, its role in developing Russian religious and philosophical ideas, and mentioned the many famous Russians who were born or chose to live here, including poets and mathematicians, military heroes and exiles.
