You forget just how daring and audacious this was! Good grief, you could feel so much love and pride for this beautiful man and his beauitufl smile! I know he had two back-ups, and one of them was Titov, so am presuming that was him sitting behind. Lovely stuff as always, thank you.
Companionable kisses are truly one of the strangest things belonging to the era of the USSR)) It's incredible that it disappeared in just 10 years and now seems like something from another world.
Gherman Titov, Gagarin’s backup, is seated directly behind him. Cosmonaut Grigori Nelyubov gives Gagarin something to chew or eat on the way to the pad. Nelyubov never flew in space and was dismissed from the cosmonaut corps. Also, Andrian Nikolayev is directly behind Titov. He flew Vostok 3.
In my opinion, the Space Race was "Showtime" (no offense to the Space fans who are fans of the Los Angeles Lakers) before Magic Johnson brought "Showtime" to LA.

you are right!
Yes, it was Gherman Titov❤
If there ever was someone that is the first to be in space, it is Gagarin. Even Titov said years later Yuriy was much more charming than him.
I've just discovered this channel. I'm so thrilled to know there is more people fascinated by this hahaha😍

Юрий Алексеевич светлый человек. Мы гордимся тем, что вы были у нас в истории

Спасибо за память. Гагарин был первым для всех жителей Земли!
Cool!
At what point did he have to stop and urinate? As I understand it, that is a tradition that exists to this day.
From a few moderns photos and articles I've found, this seems to take place before they enter the bus.
At 02:00 it seems they are already on moon riding in a bus
