🚀 On April 12, 1961, at 9.07 am Moscow Time, the Vostok spacecraft with Yury Gagarin aboard made its historic lift-off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. This first manned space mission in the history of humankind heralded the beginning of the Space Age.
Yury #Gagarin was only 27 years old then. He had experienced various hardships earlier in life, spending his childhood years in his home town in Nazi-occupied territory during the Great Patriotic War. After the war, he joined the Saratov air club, for many years he trained hard to become a professional pilot. Gagarin eventually joined the first Soviet cosmonaut squad.
On that memorable April morning, he was preparing to take off into the unknown where no human being had ever been before. A photographer took images of the cosmonaut’s face before the flight. Gagarin showed absolutely no fear, flashing his famous smile and concentrating on his responsible assignment.
🧑🚀 Yury Gagarin spent 108 minutes in outer space, orbited the Earth and successfully landed near the village of Smelovka in the Saratov Region.
While in orbit, he maintained radio contact with Earth, conducted observations through a porthole, controlled the operation of the spacecraft’s systems and made a few experiments.
📰 The media widely announced Yury Gagarin’s mission 55 minutes after the Vostok rocket lifted off. It became the most quoted news story worldwide. Instantly, a Soviet pilot & cosmonaut became the most famous person on Earth.
Two days later, the residents of the Soviet capital took to the streets, carrying flowers and posters that welcomed Gagarin who had arrived in Moscow. In late April, the first man in space went on a global tour to share his impressions with people all over the world.
🌐 In the next two years following this history-making event, Yury Gagarin visited over 30 countries where he was given a hero’s welcome. His tour was unofficially named the Peace Mission. Despite his immense popularity, Gagarin remained his own usual self and continued to engage in what he liked most – aviation and cosmonautics – for the rest of his life.

#ПесниПобеды
🎖 В преддверии 80-летия Победы советского народа в Великой Отечественной войне мы вспоминаем Песни Победы — легендарную музыку военных лет, ставшей путеводной звездой для целого поколения советских людей от мала до велика — всех тех, кто и на передовой, и в тылу приближали общую Победу над нацизмом.
Песни Победы стали верным товарищем, союзником советских воинов, их грозным оружием в борьбе с врагом, не позволявшим агрессору сломить дух защитников нашей Родины. Фронтовая музыка помогала красноармейцам преодолевать тяготы и лишения, дарила надежду и вселяла веру в скорую Победу.
***
▪️ Вероломное нападение гитлеровской Германии на СССР 22 июня 1941 года — страшная дата в истории нашей страны, оставившая глубокий шрам в памяти целых поколений. Миллионы людей, вставших на защиту Отечества в тот роковой день, шли на смертный бой, музыкальным символом, воплощением которого стала легендарная песня «Священная война» за авторством Александра Васильевича Александрова.
«Песня, сражающаяся за жизнь» — так окрестили современники «Священную войну» — самую суровую и яркую музыкальную композицию, служившую всенародным гимном борьбы с нацистскими захватчиками.
🎶 Текст песни #СвященнаяВойна основан на стихотворении Василия Лебедева-Кумача с одноимённым названием. Лирическое произведение было опубликовано на второй день войны, 24 июня 1941 года, на страницах всесоюзных газет «Известия» и «Красная звезда». На стихотворение обратил внимание Александров, руководивший на тот момент Краснознамённым ансамблем песни и пляски Красной армии. Композитор написал к тексту «Священной войны» музыку, ставшую бессмертной.
Уже 26 июня, на четвёртые сутки ожесточённых боёв с фашистами, «Священная война» прозвучала на Белорусском вокзале, откуда на передовую отправлялись красноармейцы.
С октября 1941 года и на протяжении всей войны композиция исполнялась по всесоюзному радио СССР каждое утро в 6:00 после боя курантов. Призыв «Вставай, страна огромная…» прозвучал в каждом доме огромной страны, вдохновил на боевые и трудовые подвиги целое поколение будущих победителей.

Владимир Путин выразил соболезнования в связи со смертью папы римского Франциска.
Папа римский Франциск пользовался большим международным авторитетом как верный служитель христианского учения, мудрый религиозный и государственный деятель, последовательный защитник высоких ценностей гуманизма и справедливости. В течение всех лет своего понтификата он активно способствовал развитию диалога между Русской православной и Римско-католической церквами, а также конструктивного взаимодействия между Россией и Святым престолом.
