- It's sixty years since the first human blasted into space.
For the Soviet Union, Yuri Gagarin’s single orbit of the Earth was a huge achievement and propaganda coup. There will be celebrations across Russia to mark the anniversary.
We meet the woman who, as a little girl, witnessed the day the cosmonaut came back down to earth and a Russian hero was born.

Yuri Gagarin will be remembered in 1 million years, whatever mankind's achievements in space. He was the first man in space.
Was he though? Or was he the first to survive?
@@slinkymotion yes he was the first
@@slinkymotion He was the first in orbit.
@@vatyin7763 hey, I’m no conspiracy theorist, but the Soviets had a completely covert space program, and were far more willing to risk human life. It’s entirely possible that Gagarin was the 3rd or 4th cosmonaut to get to space.
@@slinkymotion that would make sense, they probably died so they didn't announce it
Yuri is not only a Soviet Hero but also a hero to humanity
Yes he is a hero to all of us, to Americans and Russians too
Now the stupid extremists will destroy this reply section
Absolutely! Even though American propaganda tried and still tries to cover this fact as hard as it can...

@@softdrink-0 I think what they meant is that Yuri gets absolutely miniscule media coverage compared to Neil Armstrong, even if their achievements are both as historic as one another
People forget Soviet Union achieved this not too long after being destroyed by Germany in WW2 and losing 25+ million people. That makes this even more impressive.
Yeah, Russian Federation is a wimp compare to Soviet Union.

Absolutely right
In 1942, the German occupiers would never have imagined that the 8 year old kid from the little village of Klushino whose house they occupied and whose brother they sent as slave labour in Germany would become the first man to journey outer space.
@Leonid authoritarian socialism and capitalist oligarchy does that to a people
@Leonid thanks to Germans & Japanese, USA got out of the Great Depression and became a super power. Thanks to the Communist we got NASA and put a man on the moon.
Thanks to the Saudi Arabia for trading oil in dollars, gotta love all the achievements the USA has made. We Americans are spoiled lol
@Leonid How shitty the person should be to say that crap when everyone else celebrate.... The person who spit acid at the party.
Did you ever live in Germany? Do you know *how many homeless in Germany today?* I'm pretty sure that you are 14-15 year old boy, who never ever live without parents and did see *nothing* in your life. Especially do not have any idea of foreign living. Tourist.....

That was our first ambassador to the cosmos.
Not a member of a royal family. Not an oligarch. Not part of any aristocracy.
The first person in space was a worker and the son of workers.

As a delegate member of the then Communist Party of India, my grandfather had a picture of him and Gagarin when Gagarin came to India, he always kept that in his wallet and described it as one of his most treasured memories. He told me that Gagarin talked with him even though my grandfather was not a high level party member. He always used to cry when he talked about those things and the fall of the USSR. I have that picture now, it has become a kind of heirloom for our family.

@@LADruss
He was, I owe a lot to him.
Photocopy and scan and/or take a photograph of it, you never know what will happen in the future!!!
amazing story mate. can you shoot a video of the photo and post it on RUclips? I'm Sure people would love to see it.
@@ashokiimc
The thing is bro, that picture holds an emotional value for me and my family. My grandfather saw Gagarin as a role model, he used to believe that as they both came out of poor peasant families, and if he did something that changed the world, the he could achieve something great too. I have seldom seen my grandfather believe in something more than that picture, even in his last years when he couldn't even recognise us most of the time, he would never keep that photo away from his person. I never put it online, because I somehow feel that cheapen the emotions that come with it by exhibiting such a personal item.

Why was Gagarin's trip a "victory for Soviet propaganda" but Armstrong's landing on the moon was a "victory for mankind"?
Even casual references in positive news stories about a country that no longer exists continue to have a bias. Once you notice it its hard to stop seeing.
It was also a victory for mankind, but what the soviet desperately needed back then was propaganda around the world. And they got it
Cuz the Americans can for some reason create their own rules and everyone will accept it.

He replied: "a woman feelings aren't difrent from a man's, if I liked it im sure she will too"

For me, the Soviets won the space race.
They took pictures of the VENUS surface insane
Well they did.
It’s a matter of opinion. The space race basically ended when america beat the Soviets to the moon, and then did it a bunch more times, after that the space race was over. Yet the Soviets were the first to do so many things in space. So, it isn’t really a decided fact that either side won the space race. In the end, it shouldn’t matter. It all worked towards the betterment of humanities goal to explore the stars. Space is no nations property, just a vast space for us to explore.
@@Ibra2him American only won in their own definition of winning according to Amerikkkan propaganda. Soviets were home to 50% of the worlds scientists.
@@Ibra2him The Soviets sent the first thing to space and the first man to space, so they won the space race. After that there was the Moon race, the other planets race, the space station race...
I don't why western media calls every Soviet achievement a propoganda. It was not victory for any proganda it was victory for humanity. Soviet Union have done many great things which deserve a lot of appreciation. NASA is a great organization but it is not responsible for all of the space achievement. Whole world is proud of Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong they are and will be inspiration for whole mankind.

What the
Perfect example why Socialism works.
A peasant country industrialized for a short time.
Country was ravaged by the war but was able to recover and became a Superpower.
Was able to gained multiple achievements on the field of science and sports.
One of the most iconic moments in human history
Another fact, that Gagarin was born in a small provincial village in a simple family of farm workers. Got good free education and was able to become a hero for many generations. That is called social lifts (Social Elevator). Where everyone had really equal opportunity, not regarding to family wellness or social status. Can you even imagine in your country that son of provincial farm workers or janitors could become astronaut?..... Very questionable.
As usual a socialist comments and gets it exactly backwards. The technological achievements of the USSR were in spite of their communism not because of it. Free markets system were never fully removed from Russia and this is the reason any achievements we possible at all.

@@rendermanpro money is a measure of things I care about, such as fairness, freedom, people's time and energy.

Nice tribute to a great achievement by Steve Rosenberg, and well done to the BBC for sending Steve down to the Saratov region to do this - instead of just rehashing a lot of old footage from 60 years ago.
In 1961, despite being the cold war era, and at a stage when both the Soviet Union and "The West" were developing missile systems that could deliver death to millions in the event of war (with huge suspicions from both sides of the other's political systems - among other things) all this was put aside to congratulate Russia for its great achievement.
In the summer of 1961, Yuri Gagarin toured Great Britain, appeared on British TV (many times) and even visited 10 Downing Street (it's in the video) to meet the British Prime Minister of the time.
Yuri Gagarin was absolutely welcomed by the British people, and you can see from TV and film coverage from the time, that British people genuinely warmed to him, were so glad he came to visit, and that Russia had shared him with us.
Yes, there was an aspect of propaganda, to promote Soviet achievement and technology to the world, but to be fair: Gagarin had actually been to space! It was (and is) a great achievement - barely believable in 1961.
If Yuri Gagarin's heroic achievement had happened today (60 years later, with the Soviet Union gone 30 years ago, and at a time when we supposedly live in a safer world) would international politics be put aside to celebrate such an achievement?
Maybe, but I'm not so sure - which would be a great pity. In many ways attitudes were better in 1961 and there was more hope for the future then.
Thank you 🤗🏹❤️❤️❤️❤️
This man does not get the credit he deserves in the West. His name should be uttered as often as Neil Armstrong, they were both first.
Yuri Gagarin's name is uttered as much as Neil Armstrong's (possibly even more so - as he was the first spaceman) in the UK and I'm sure just about every other country too - other than the US.
Bless the eyewitness too Long live Yuri Gagarin's Legacy

I think every single astronaut any nation is a hero. Then and now, this type of work demands enormous strength, big courage and huge dedication.
Even now, after sixty years of humans working in space, there are still many people who say 'Gagarin didn't rotate around the Earth', 'Apollon didn't land on the Moon, it's all lies and Soviet/American propaganda'. It shows that we still see people travelling to space as a miracle. And it actually is. Every cosmonaut, engineers and all who are connected with it doing a miracle.
Nevertheless, I am sure there is a tiny part into our Universe that will forever belong obly to Yuri Gagarin and Sergey Korolev.
The fact that Yuri was a son of mother and father from working, class, ordinary people who survived disastrous war and just trying to live their lives decently is making me proud of my coutry as a Russian and being who I am as a daughter of a working-class mom.
We, Humans, regardless of our nation, age, gender are the ones who make history everyday. Let's not forget that and proceed to work together for a better future!
The grandma & lil lady must be very terrified watching some dude in weird suit coming towards them. Much less on a potato farm LMAO 🤣
What an incredible man. Russians have every right to be proud of him.
