Подготовка и проведение мероприятий, посвященных празднованию 50-й годовщины полета в космос Ю.А. Гагарина
On April 12th this year it's going to be a 50th anniversary of the flight of Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut who was the first man in space ever. The page above belongs to the administration of Gagarin's birthplace. It outlines the activities which are planned to celebrate this anniversary. One more web site, that of Russian TV channel, tells about Gagarin's friends. The TV reporter Ksenia Stepanova met a few of them and they shared with her what the remember about the hero.
I was born after this first spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin, but some of my friends remember this day in 1961, the filing of pride for their country, the jubilation and festivities in the streets of Russian cities. Russian space industry, even being in a relative decline now, is still capable of bringing cosmonauts and astronauts to the international space station, which is especially important now, when Americans grounded their space fleet.
