The film is dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the birth of the first Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
On April 12, 1961, the first space flight in history took place.
Yuri Gagarin was only 27 years old at that time.
On the Vostok spacecraft, Gagarin made one orbit around the Earth, the flight lasted 108 minutes, no one had ever seen our planet from space before, from a height of 300 kilometers.
Gagarin's "Let's go!" flew all over the world, and the word "cosmonaut" became the same symbol of our country as Lenin, ballet and Red Square.
After the flight, perhaps the most difficult test was ahead - the test of glory, which Gagarin passed with honor.
Everyone loved him, he traveled all over the world, however, according to people who knew him, he did not change at all and remained a Man with a capital letter.
Boris Volynov, Pavel Popovich, Viktor Gorbatko, Valentin Petrov, Valentina Tereshkova, Alexey Leonov, Elena Gagarina, Vladimir Shatalov, Fedor Yurchikhin, an employee of the Yuri Gagarin Memorial Museum in Gagarin (Smolensk Region) participated in the interview for the film Lyudmila Demina.
