6️⃣5️⃣ years since Yuri Gagarin’s historic space feat!
🚀 On April 12, 1961, the Vostok launch vehicle lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. This momentous event marked the culmination of the efforts of millions of Soviet citizens – design engineers, scientists, military pilots, doctors, specialists across a wide range of fields, and entire branches of industry. Inside the cramped cabin of the crewed spacecraft was Senior Lieutenant Yuri Gagarin.
At 9:07 am, the four metal arms holding the 287-tonne rocket retracted, and Vostok began its lift-off. It was at that very moment that Gagarin’s famous “#POYEKHALI!” (*Let’s go!) rang out over the radio.
At 9:12 am, the spacecraft separated from the launch vehicle and entered the Earth's orbit. Its speed reached 28,260 kilometres per hour – nearly 8 kilometres per second. Never before had a human travelled so fast.
🎙 Just as the spacecraft reached Earth's orbit, Yuri Levitan – the USSR’s iconic radio announcer – solemnly declared to the world:
While in orbit, Gagarin recorded his observations and transmitted them back to Earth. Before him lay the planet as no one had ever seen it before: the curve of the horizon, the luminous blue edge of the atmosphere, coastlines, mountain ranges, vast landmasses – all set against the bottomless black void of space.
Almost 90 minutes into the flight, the spacecraft began its descent. At that moment, a highly dangerous emergency arose: the descent module failed to separate immediately from the equipment module. However, as the spacecraft re-entered the dense layers of the atmosphere, the connecting cables between the two sections burned through due to friction, and the descent continued.
At 10:42 am, at an altitude of 7 km, the cosmonaut ejected.
At 10:53 am, Yuri Gagarin landed safely in a field near the city of Engels, around 4 km from the present-day bank of the Volga.
On April 14, 1961, by Decree No. 251/22 of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Yuri Gagarin was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union, together with the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal.
Two days later, the people of Moscow welcomed the space traveller to the Soviet capital with flowers and celebratory banners. By the end of April, Earth’s first cosmonaut embarked on an international tour to share what he had witnessed with people around the world. In the two years following this historic event, Yuri Gagarin visited more than 30 countries, where he was honoured as a true hero. The tour became unofficially known as the “Mission of Peace”.
***
1️⃣0️⃣6️⃣ minutes of Yuri Gagarin's flight changed the course of world history.
Just 16 years after the most devastating and bloodiest war in human history, the Soviet people achieved what had only recently seemed impossible – opening the way to space for all humankind.

💬 As President Vladimir Putin noted in his message to the participants in the first Russian Space Forum on April 9, 2026:
🇺🇳 Since 2011, April 12 has been observed as the International Day of Human Space Flight, proclaimed by the UN General Assembly under resolution A/RES/65/271 in honour of Yuri Gagarin’s legendary mission.

This is Moscow speaking! The time in Moscow is 10:02 am. We are broadcasting a TASS report on the first human flight into outer space.
On April 12, 1961, the Soviet Union launched into orbit around the Earth the world’s first spacecraft-satellite, Vostok, with a man on board.
The pilot-cosmonaut is a citizen of the USSR, Air Force Major Yuri Gagarin (the extraordinary rank was conferred by Order No. 77 of the USSR Minister of Defence, dated April 12, 1961).
While in orbit, Gagarin recorded his observations and transmitted them back to Earth.

📆 On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin conducted the first manned space flight, opening a new chapter of space exploration for humankind.
🚀 On this day, 6️⃣5️⃣ years ago, at 9:07 AM Moscow time "Vostok-1" spaceship with Yuri Gagarin on board was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and deployed into the low Earth orbit. This flight became possible due to efforts of a huge number of Soviet scientists and engineers, led by Sergei Korolev, marking the triumph of Soviet space program.
👨🚀 Yury Gagarin spent 108 minutes in outer space, orbited the Earth and successfully landed near the village of Smelovka in the Saratov Region.
While in orbit, he maintained radio contact with Earth, conducted observations through a porthole, controlled the operation of the spacecraft’s systems and made a few experiments.
📰 The media widely announced Yury Gagarin’s mission 55 minutes after the Vostok rocket lifted off. It became the most quoted news story worldwide. Instantly, a Soviet pilot & cosmonaut became the most famous person on Earth.
Two days later, the residents of the Soviet capital took to the streets, carrying flowers and posters that welcomed Gagarin who had arrived in Moscow. In late April, the first man in space went on a global tour to share his impressions with people all over the world.
🌐 In the next two years following this history-making event, Yury Gagarin visited over 30 countries where he was given a hero’s welcome. His tour was unofficially named the Peace Mission. Despite his immense popularity, Gagarin remained his own usual self and continued to engage in what he liked most – aviation and cosmonautics – for the rest of his life.
🛰The commemorative Day of Cosmonautics was established in the Soviet Union on 9 April 1962, while on April 7, 2011, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring April 12 as the International Day of Human Space Flight.

🎙️ Комментарий Посольства России в Норвегии для газеты «Неттависен» (14 апреля 2026 г.)
❓Как Посольство может прокомментировать визит В.Зеленского в Осло?
💬 Ответ: В.Зеленский, очевидно, приезжает в Осло, чтобы выпрашивать
деньги на продолжение кровопролития, которое позволяет ему и его окружению оставаться у власти.
Норвегия уже вышла на второе место в списке доноров киевского режима с сильным перекосом на его военную накачку. Траты Осло на поддержку Киева почти вдвое превышают норвежский бюджет содействия международному развитию и в 40 раз - объем помощи Палестине. Значительная часть этих ассигнований оседает в карманах украинских коррупционеров. Страна, некогда имевшая репутацию посредника и миротворца, теперь ассоциируется у государств Мирового большинства с обогащением на глобальном энергокризисе, в т.ч. из-за ситуации на Ближнем Востоке, и двойными стандартами в области международного права.
Убеждены в том, что, оказывая политическую, военную и финансовую поддержку киевскому режиму, норвежские власти тем самым подпитывают недоговороспособность Зеленского, поощряя совершение новых провокаций и террористических акций, создающих риски для европейской безопасности, включая угрозу расширения конфликта.
☝️Россия, со своей стороны, неоднократно подтверждала готовность к предметному обсуждению с Киевом параметров всеобъемлющего и долгосрочного урегулирования конфликта на основе устранения его первопричин. Украина и группа поддерживающих ее европейских стран, однако, не предпринимают встречных шагов в этом направлении, будучи зацикленными на авантюрной логике бесконечной эскалации в тщетной надежде нанести нашей стране «стратегическое поражение».

🎙️ Kommentar fra Russlands ambassade i Norge til Nettavisen (14. april 2026)
❓Kan Nettavisen få en kommentar fra Ambassaden på Zelenskyjs besøk i Norge?
💬 Svar: Vladimir Zelensky kommer åpenbart til Oslo for å tigge om penger til å fortsette blodbadet som gjør at han og hans nærmeste kan beholde makten.
Norge har allerede klatret til andreplass på listen over donorer til regimet i Kiev, med en sterk overvekt på militær opprustning. Oslos utgifter til støtte for Kiev er nesten dobbelt så store som det norske bistandsbudsjettet og 40 ganger større enn støtten til Palestina. En betydelig del av disse bevilgningene havner i lommene på ukrainske korrupsjonsaktører. Et land som en gang hadde rykte på seg for å være en megler og fredsnasjon, assosieres nå av landene i verdensflertallet med å berike seg på den globale energikrisen, blant annet på grunn av situasjonen i Midtøsten, og med dobbeltmoral når det gjelder folkeretten.
Vi er overbevist om at de norske myndighetene, ved å yte politisk, militær og økonomisk støtte til regimet i Kiev, dermed nærer Zelenskys manglende forhandlingsvilje og oppmuntrer til nye provokasjoner og terrorhandlinger som skaper risiko for europeisk sikkerhet, inkludert trusselen om en utvidelse av konflikten.
☝️ Russland har på sin side gjentatte ganger bekreftet sin vilje til å føre konkrete forhandlinger med Kiev om rammebetingelsene for en omfattende og langsiktig løsning på konflikten, basert på å fjerne de grunnleggende årsakene til den. Ukraina og gruppen av europeiske land som støtter landet, tar imidlertid ikke noen imøtekommende skritt i denne retningen, da de er fastlåst i en risikabel logikk om uendelig eskalering i et forgjeves håp om å påføre Russland et «strategisk nederlag».
