Yuri Gagarin, whose biography was by heartmemorized by the boys of the generation of the sixties and seventies of the last century, without doubt - one of the symbols of the twentieth century. A symbol of courage, masculinity, a symbol of love for the Motherland and endless devotion to her. Probably, now with very few people Yuri Gagarin can be compared to apply the same characteristics. This is a man-era.
The first person, who visited the cosmos, was born indistant 1934 in the village of the present Smolensk region in a peasant family. School years with a break for the military operations of World War II were ordinary and unremarkable, but love for him came much later. At twenty, Yuri enters Saratov in an industrial college, and three years later he comes to the city aeroclub. A year later, Yuri made his first flight to the Yak-18.
During the service in the ranks of the Soviet Army, Yuriis called precisely in the school of pilots, where he hones his skill of flying on fighters from famous aces of that time. Learning about the set of cosmonauts, Gagarin, already married at that time, no doubt is enrolled in this group, and a week later he is summoned to a commission to examine the state of health. For health reasons, Yuri Alekseevich was recognized as fit and was sent to a new place of work - to prepare for a flight to open space, which was held in another city.
In April 1961, Gagarin was promoted to seniorlieutenant went from the Baikonur cosmodrome to a space flight, and landed on the ground already a Hero of the Soviet Union, whose name remained forever in the history of world space travel. After the flight, life for Gagarin abruptly changed - he graduated, was recommended to the adjunct, became a deputy of the Supreme Council. In March 1968, during a training flight, he died tragically. For his services to the homeland and humanity, Yuri Gagarin was buried near the Kremlin wall. On this official biography of Gagarin is exhausted (with the exception of nothing meaningless trifles).
These data were constantly reprinted from onenewspapers in other, on a regular holiday - Cosmonautics Day (April 12) - the famous Gagarin's photo with an open, good-natured, Soviet smile, so eye-catching, appeared in the press. However, Yuri Gagarin, whose biography is not so simple, became an astronaut, not so much at his own wish, as by coincidence, an evil fate that haunted him all his life.
The parameters by which the cosmonauts were selected wererather simple - age from twenty-five to thirty years old, average height, average weight, stress resistance, mental stability, normal health. Dozens of pilots who want to participate in the flight came up to these indicators. In a hurry, fearing that the Americans will launch a missile earlier, the government decides to send Yuri.
After the flight into space, Gagarin actively participatedin further research, however, in his work he tried to establish cooperation with the American side with the purpose of exchanging experience, but all his letters were resolutely rejected due to the then cold war - the rivalry of the Union with America in virtually all spheres. Knowing Gagarin's insistence, his inquisitiveness, his thirst for novelty, the higher authorities were afraid that Yuri might leave the country. Until now, Yuri Gagarin, his biography, remains in the shadows - a private file is classified and is in the KGB archive. The mystery of the death of this man, who has subdued the consciousness of millions, remains a mystery until now. No government has yet decided to discover the true circumstances of his death. Is it really the same fact that will remain unchanged: Yuri Gagarin - a biography without a man?
