Yuri Gagarin and his beloved women

50 years ago, the first cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, the man whose smile conquered the whole world

About what will happen on April 12, 1961, even the closest people of Yuri Gagarin did not know - neither his wife Valentina, nor parents, nor children. But even if there was no situation of strict secrecy, the youngest daughter of Yuri Alekseyevich Galochka would still not understand anything. After April 12, 1961, she was just a little over a month.

As you know, three TASS reports were prepared on the flight of Gagarin into space. The first one is "Successful", which was read out, the second one - "Appeal to the governments of other countries" with the request to help in search in case it falls on the territory of another country or in the world ocean, and the third one - "Tragic", if Gagarin does not will return alive

But there was another fourth message. Two days before the flight, Yuri Alekseevich wrote a letter to his wife, which, he hoped, she would never read. He was to be given to Valentina Gagarina in the event of the death of her husband

Gagarin wrote that "he fully believes in technology," and asked his Valyusha "not to be killed with grief," if something happens

In the letter Gagarin also asked his wife to protect their girls, to love, as he likes. There was one more request for this letter. "Well, arrange your personal life, as your conscience tells you, as you see fit." I do not impose any obligations on you, and I do not have the right to do this, "Gagarin wrote

At the end of the letter Gagarin asked his wife "not to forget his parents": "If there is an opportunity, help in something, give them my best regards, and let them forgive me for not knowing anything about it, but they do not it was necessary to know ". This letter was given to Valentina Ivanovna, as Gagarin asked, after his death

Immediately after the flight into space, Gagarin had many trips and meetings, sometimes he had to speak to the public 20 times a day. But in the summer he still managed to go with his family to the Crimea

On Yuri Gagarin, the man who first conquered the cosmos, world fame came down. On the day of Yuri Gagarin's flight to space, Muscovites have bought out all the newspapers

Letters in his name came from all over the world. The post was taken down by the whole family

And in other respects the life of the Gagarins differed little from the life of other Soviet families
