🪐The first man in space! Exactly 63 years ago, Yuri Gagarin flew around the Earth. The era of manned cosmonautics began from this day. Gagarin launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Vostok-1 spacecraft and landed 108 minutes later in the Saratov Region, Russia.
To millions, the cosmonaut was the embodiment of both Soviet heroism and Russian folk legend: an ordinary village guy turned world hero. Fame, however, didn't change Yuri, and many claim he stayed the same kind-hearted modest man. Learn more about him in our unique documentary 'Gagarin'.

День космонавтики - чуть на 2-й виток не ушли.
"Вызов" - кино для усидчивых - 2 часа 40 минут! Аудитория вызов приняла - смотрели, затаив дыхание.
Вообще замечательный был день. Герой России, космонавт Валерий Корзун по видеосвязи ответил на вопросы гостей The Pushkin Centre.
Взрослые написали "Звёздный диктант", молодёжь навыигрывала призов с российской космической символикой, дети на уроке русского языка занимались "ракетрстроением".
На 4-й космической скорости летим дальше!

“Anniversary of defeat: NATO’s troubled past”: The article by H.E. Ambassador Evgeny Terekhin (The Reporter)
▪︎Through its military ventures, the collective West has dealt a severe blow to the fundamental principles of international law, as it attempts to replace them with a self-constructed concept known as the Rules-Based Order.
▪︎NATO strategic concept labels Russia as “the most significant and direct threat to Allies’ security and to peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area.”
▪︎NATO’s response to Russia now extends across all geographic areas and operational domains, including space and cyberspace.
▪︎NATO aims to form a coalition with an anti-Russian and anti-Chinese orientation.
▪The goals of NATO, regardless of the rhetoric used to package them, remain consistent with those of 75 years ago: preserving global dominance and the hegemony of a select group of countries while maintaining conditions conducive to the exploitation of other peoples and nations.
