It was that particular Sylphide, which was staged for her by her father Filippo Taglioni, that another French choreographer, Pierre Lacotte, carefully recreated about a hundred and fifty years later.

20 Cover Story

The monument of

On April 12, 1961, at 9:07 a.m. Moscow time, the Vostok 1 spacecraft blasted off from the Soviets' launch site. This day, 27-year-old Yurii Gagarin became the first person to travel into space. Because no one was certain how weightlessness would affect a pilot, the spherical capsule had little in the way of on board controls; the work was done either automatically or from the ground. If an emergency arose, Gagarin was supposed to receive an override code that would allow him to take manual control, but Sergei Korolov, chief designer of the Soviet space program, disregarded protocol and gave it to the pilot prior to the flight.

Over the course of 108 minutes, Vostok 1 travelled around the Earth once, reaching a maximum height of 203 miles (327 kilometers). Over Africa, the engines fired to bring Gagarin back to Earth. The craft carried ten days worth of provisions in case the engines failed and Gagarin was required to wait for the orbit to naturally decay, but they were unnecessary. Gagarin re-entered Earth's atmosphere, experiencing forces up to eight times the pull of gravity, but remained consciousness.

Vostok 1 had no engines to slow its re-entry or a way to land safely. About four miles up (seven kilometers), Gagarin ejected and parachuted to Earth. In order for the mission to be counted as an official spaceflight, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), the governing body for aerospace records, had determined that the pilot must land with the spacecraft. Soviet leaders indicated that Gagarin had touched down with the Vostok 1, and did not reveal that he had ejected until 1971. Regardless, Gagarin still set the record as the first man to leave Earth's orbit and travel into space.

The monument to Yurii Gagarin (sculptor – P.I. Bondarenko, architects – Ya.B. Belopolsky, F.M. Gazhevsky, designer - A.F. Sudakov) was unveiled on July 4, 1980. The one of the highest monuments in Moscow resembles rocket rushing into the sky.

Riffled 40 meters long pedestal is crowned with 33 meters long astronaut figure, casted of titanium. At the bottom of the sculpture, there is landing section of spacecraft Vostok.

Location: ploshchad Gagarina, m. Leninskiy Prospekt
