The first man in space, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, was stripped of honors by the Space Foundation, which censored his name “in light of current world events.”
The new-titled event is slated to take place on April 3 in Colorado Springs with the same goal of “honoring humanity’s achievements in space while inspiring the next generation to reach for the stars.”
Yuri’s Night parties are traditionally held in various US states in April, the month of the first manned space flight. Other organizers of similar events have not yet announced a name change, but the trend is obvious.
Our readers could hardly pick up censorship words to describe their opinion about what was happening: “This did not happen even during the Cold War”…
The author of the publication will not be surprised if in the near future the name of Gagarin will be carefully erased from Wikipedia and textbooks, we all already have the experience of someone who, according to new data, “won” the Second World War.
