Vostok, Yuri Gagarin’s ship

Almost everyone knows Yuri Gagarin on this planet. However, Vostok, which has carried him into the space is known by very few people. Vostok means “east” in Russian. This poster – after Gagarin gone to the space- is the presentation of Vostok to the world by USSR, at the end of the 1961. Translation of the writing on the poster:

Внимание!
Это космический корабль “ВОСТОК”
с ракетоносителем.
КОРАБЛЬ ЮРИЯ ГАГАРИНА!

Attention!
This spaceship “VOSTOK”
with the launcher.
YURI GAGARIN’S SHIP!
