Yuri Gagarin

The first cosmonaut in the world is a legendary figure! It might seem that everything, if not all, is known about him. Psychologists selecting candidates for astronauts characterized him as follows: "Sincere. Pure in soul and body. Polite, tactful, punctual to the point of fastidiousness. Yuri has a high intellectual development. Excellent memory. Stands out among his peers with a wide range of active attention, quick-wittedness, and fast reaction. Diligent. Does not hesitate to defend a point of view that he believes is correct." On one hand, the path of a boy from a simple peasant family to space is straightforward and direct as an arrow, but on the other hand – how many twists, rises, and falls it contained! About what kind of guy he was, about the road to the stars and his tragic demise – in the new book of the series "Exclusive Biographies".
