Gagarin speaks about his origins Гагарин о себе

[gloriavancouver]

He was a great guy, unassuming and friendly, a true Russian patriot.

Gagarin lepo govori o sebi.

Milina je slušati govor prvog kosmonauta.

I guess that's serbo-croatian. Google tells me that means:

"Gagarin speaks nicely of himself.

Pleased to listen to the speech of the first spaceman. "

Thank you! This was short and not too difficult. I had a much harder time with a longer speech I linked here.

There's a whole phrase I just can't understand.

It's interesting that you ask why he says "soviet." I thought it would be obvious. It's hard to answer in one of these little boxes! I think he felt a loyalty to the CCCP and to "communism," and wanted to stress that in the Soviet Union the son of poor peasants could become the first human in space.
