The Motherland Knows the Comrade Hero
On April 12, 1961 Russia’s Iurii Gagarin became the first ever human being to enter outer space. The Cosmonaut instantly became a Soviet hero (he received an actual “Hero of the Soviet Union” medal) after his successful orbit of the earth in his Votosk 1 spacecraft.
Upon reentry to the earth’s atmosphere, Gagarin is said to have whistled the tune of the patriotic Russian song “The Motherland Hears, The Motherland Knows/Where her son flies is in the sky”. Rumors over the cosmonaut’s controversial statement “I don’t see any God up here” during orbit were later proven false by audio records of the spaceflight and are believed to have been actually spoken by Nikita Khruschev during a speech referring to Gagarin in the midst of the state’s anti-religion campaign.
Gagarin would later be killed during a routine training exercise in his MiG-15 fighter jet in March of 1968. Gagarin’s legacy and contribution to Soviet society are highlighted by the fact that his remains are now buried in the walls of the Kremlin and the renaming of the Cosmonaut Training Center outside of Moscow after Russia’s first Cosmonaut. It’s astounding to me how the memory of one man can portray so many different symbols in Russian history; the development of Russia as a world power, the spirit of the Russian citizen, and the beginning of the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Interesting that Gagarin could be linked to the anti-religious movements which also occurred at this time. Good spot!
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I have really learned new things from the blog post. One other thing I have seen is that usually, FSBO sellers are going to reject a person. Remember, they might prefer to not ever use your expert services. But if a person maintain a comfortable, professional relationship, offering support and being in contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually be capable of win a discussion. From there, a listing follows. Cheers
Always question and research fake charities, free counseling, dubious publishing and other fly-by-night ventures.

You can definitely see your expertise within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. At all times follow your heart. “The point of quotations is that one can use another’s words to be insulting.” by Amanda Cross.
