Polls show that Yuri Gagarin is the No. 1 hero in Russian history of the 20th century. It is all the more surprising that for many years there has not been an appropriate open, objective, biography of the first cosmonaut based on current sources in Russia. The Gagarin biography with the title PASSENGER WITH KIDS by Lev Danilkin is an attempt to close all the gaps in the biography of the „Red Icarus“.
«Gagarin is a myth. The first cosmonaut, icon, toy in the hands of the Soviet govern- ment and journalists, but not a man. Lev Danilkin took up this difficult task – to restore Gagarin‘s human status.» THEORY AND PRACTICE
