The holiday is dedicated to the first human spaceflight, which took place on this day in 1961: Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made the first orbital flight around the Earth on the Vostok-1 spacecraft.

 

Libraries and cultural centers are preparing entertainment and educational programs for children for Cosmonautics Day. 

 

The staff of the Betkinsky rural library will visit a kindergarten, where, as part of an event dedicated to this holiday, they will make an origami rocket with children, talk about the structure of the rocket, the first cosmonauts, etc.
