Celebrating Cosmonautics Day with Soviet cartoonsMeduza11:11, 12 april 2018On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human being to visit outer space. His near-earth orbit around the world and the satellites sent to distant planets inspired millions of people and demonstrated some of the greatest achievements of Soviet science. To celebrate the anniversary of Gagarin’s flight (what is now known as Cosmonautics Day), Meduza collects several illustrations about the Soviet space program published in the 1960s and 70s by the satirical magazine Krokodil.See more at: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2018/04/12/celebrating-cosmonautics-day-with-soviet-cartoons
