The name of the first cosmonaut of the Universe, Yuri Gagarin, is closely related to Orenburg. Here, at the flight school, he comprehended the basics of the pilot profession. Here I found my family happiness.
That is why Orenburg so touches and warmly meets every year this holiday - Cosmonautics Day. This year marked exactly 60 years since the first human flight into space. A solemn rally concert was held at the monument to Gagarin today, which was opened by the Orenburg Chamber Choir (artistic director - Honored Artist of Russia, Professor Olga Serebrianskaya). The choir performed a musical composition specially prepared by the team for this high date.
In a solemn atmosphere, flowers were laid at the pedestal of the monument to the first cosmonaut of the planet by the governor of Orenburg Denis Pasler.
