Postcard from Russia!

Today I got a great postcard of Russia! The postcard features a black and white portrait of Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin. Yuri Gagarin was born in 1934 and was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut. He is most known for being the first human to travel to outer space. This took place on April 12, 1961, when his Vostok spacecraft orbited the Earth. He was awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union award and later taught at the Cosmonaut Training Center. Thanks Nastia!
