Yuri Gagarin in London and Manchester: A smile that changed the world?
The first human spaceflight on 12th April 1961 shocked the West and made cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin the most famous person on the planet. As one of human civilisation’s seminal accomplishments it was borne out of technology designed for weapons of mass destruction. Following the launch of Sputnik in 1957, the Soviet Union charged headlong into the exploration of the Moon, Venus and Mars, demonstrating and honing their weapons of war in the name of science. Three months after his flight, still the only person to have been in Earth orbit, he came to Britain. Declassified confidential and secret government documents reveal for the first time the frantic diplomatic efforts to achieve a balance between celebrating one of humanity’s greatest achievements whilst grappling with the political dynamite of the unprecedented propaganda opportunity of a Soviet air force Major’s success being celebrated first by the Prime Minister and then by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. Chronicled for the first time in these pages are the personal recollections, including never before published pictures, from people in Manchester and London of the impact of this handsome, charismatic cosmonaut who captured the hearts of ordinary working people in Britain. This unassuming diminutive Major with an engaging permanent smile brought hope to a world at the brink of thermonuclear war. For many in Britain during the coldest days of the Cold War, this cosmonaut was the only Russian they would ever see.

Yuri Gagarin: The Counterfeit Cosmonaut Hero
Would you be shocked to find out that the greatest moment of our recent history in space was a disaster that was covered up? Would you be shocked to find out that the greatest hero since Christopher Columbus, a cosmonaut named Yuri Gagarin, turns out to be a lie and that he was not the first man in space, contrary to what the millions of history books claim? Would you be shocked to find out that Yuri Gagarin could not handle his life of a lie, and spiraled down into a horrible state of alcoholism, depression, and mood swings, and was ultimately murdered by the KGB? The Oscar-nominated actor, Elliott Gould, narrates this true story of recent developments and brand-new declassified evidence, now clearly showing that there’s much, much more than meets the public eye about the secret life, and purported death, of Yuri Gagarin…Also included in this audiobook are uncut and unfiltered interviews by Sergei Khrushchev (the son of the former head of the old Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev), along with interviews of a Soviet historian, as well as a former CIA analyst.

内容简介: 民国时期的沈阳,是从1912年(民国元年)7月至1948年(民国三十七年)11月沈阳解放,其时间跨度满打满算为37年。30余年的时光,在沈阳悠悠的历史长河中真是短暂的一瞬。这37年的发展历程,据各时段的表现态势,明显分为三大段。第一段,从1912年1月至至1931年9月为奉系军阀执政时期;第二段,从1931年九一八事变起到1945年8月15日日本投降,为日伪统治时期;第三段,从1945年8月至1948年11月,为国民党统治时期。这三段历史各自成篇,不能说彼此间刀切斧断,但联系甚少,具有明显的阶段性,这是沈阳民国史的又一显著特色。 作者简介: 顾奎相,辽宁大学原副校长、教授。曾担任辽宁省历史学会理事长。
