Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin became the first person in space, trained for a flight to the moon, and died at the age of 34. Any biography of someone who embodied collective notions of ideal national characteristics is inevitably tinged with bitterness: he, yes, but what about us? We didn't keep up with him, we didn't live up to him, without him, we've done such a terrible job...

But even tragically cut short, Gagarin's story still has the power to inspire and encourage: there was so much energy in this short life that there must be enough for everyone again.

This chronicle of Gagarin's life (1934–1968) and the reconstruction of his worldview and opinions are based on personal interviews with the protagonist's close friends, archival documents, eyewitness memoirs, and journalistic materials.
