• День космонавтики
  [den' kas-ma-naf-ti-ki]
  Cosmonautics Day 

🔻On April 12, 1961, the Vostok satellite was launched into outer space for the first time with a person on board.

🔻The pilot of the the Vostok satellite was the Soviet pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who later turned into a symbol of space exploration and became one of the most famous people of the 20th century.

🔻The flight around the globe took 108 minutes, after which the ship landed at the planned location at 10:55 am Moscow time near the village of Smelovka in the Saratov region.

🔻Since then, this day has been celebrated in Russia as Cosmonautics Day, and in the world as International Day of Human Space Flight.

🔻This event was a colossal step for all humanity, opening up controlled space exploration to people!

The youngest boy on this picture is little Boris, the Germans will hang him on a scarf but his relatives will be able to save him at the very last moment. After the war, he will work at a radio lamp factory.

The two elders (on the right and on the left) will be driven away by the Nazis to Germany, but they will be able to escape along the road and join the Red Army units. Valentin will become a carpenter, and the girl Zoya will finish nursing courses and work in a children's hospital.

As for the boy sitting on the chair, one morning on April 12, 1961 he will say “Let's go!” and write himself into history as the first person in world history to fly into outer space. Forever.

1938. Valentin, Boris, Zoya and Yuri Gagarin.

At the Marinsky tonight watching the operette The Bat. The libretto in Russian put the entire atmosphere of Prince Orlovsky's ball into a genuine St.Petersburg atmosphere.
I believe Johann Strauß would have enjoyed this evening just as much as did my Indian and Russian colleagues.
Nice to forget everything like the daily dirty attacks from Austria by listening to joyful music among hundreds of warm hearted Russians

We pray Texas Donbass comes back save.
