Yuri Gagarin

The title is a rough transliteration of “на здоровье, товарищ Гагарин”, and references the flight of Yuri Gagarin into space on 12 April 1961 - thus “proving” that there’s no God. This picture was made by militant-blog.org, an Italian political collective.

This poster celebrates the Day of Cosmonautics, the 12th of April - anniversary of the flight of Yuri Gagarin. It depicts the Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, who played a key role in the space race by deriving the rocket equation, which relates the acceleration of a rocket with the amount of fuel used. The formulas in the upper left corner appear to be calculations of the second cosmic velocity (escape velocity).

This poster celebrates the 25th anniversary of the flight of the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, with the date (12 April 1961) and time (9:07 Moscow time). His iconic sentence “Поехали!”, “Let’s go!”, is also reported. The text at the bottom says: For the first time in the history of mankind, an orbital flight was performed on a spaceship, “Vostok”, manned by a citizen of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin.

This poster references the flight of Yuri Gagarin, the first man on space, on the 12th of April, 1961, as we can see in the upper left corner (12.IV.1961). The choice of words is not casual: it comes from the refrain of the Марш энтузиастов (march of the enthusiasts), and appears in at least one other poster.
