On April 12, 1961, with the launch of the Vostok 1 mission in Baikonur, Kazakhstan, Yuri Gagarin became the first human being to travel into outer space. While contradictions between the public's image of Gagarin and reality have sparked interesting and worthwhile scholarship, my research takes a different perspective on this issue. The Soviet people had no meaningful way to differentiate between Gagarin-as-myth and Gagarin in reality, simply for the fact that the Soviet state fully controlled the dissemination of information about Gagarin and his life. For the Soviet people, there could be no tension between the public and private Gagarin, because they were effectively one in the same. In this way, I argue that the myth of Gagarin supplanted reality in Soviet and post-Soviet memory. My research focuses on the cultural factors which made Gagarin's image meaningful to begin with, and subsequently, how that meaning has been dispersed in public memory via images, monuments, and novelty items. From that vantage point, I argue that the Soviet state used pre-revolutionary cultural movements, identities, and visual signals to convey their intended meaning of Gagarin's image as universalist, and yet victorious; subsequently, the post-Soviet Russian state has appropriated Gagarin's image to suit its own political purposes of internal masculine nationalism and external humanism.
