APRIL 12, 1961

We are proud of the feat of Yuri Gagarin, we admire the scientists, engineers, technicicans, workers who put their mind and heart into the creation of this ship and in its amazing flight. Their glorious deeds combine the labor and feat of millions of workers, collective farmers, intelligentsia- the entire Soviet people. With this flight we have once again showed the whole world what the genius of a free people is capable of.
