@peegee42

are you insane? a trained pilot? Gagarin is the FIRST HUMAN IS SPACE. He needed to be protected like the rare special gift he was to mankind. Idiotic Communists should had him going around the world as an ambassador for peace and human achievement. Don't be so small minded like some apparatchik.

@woodyaan if they killed him then it is certainly not the KGB. it could be a foreign intelligence service.

@redvan2000 what you said is true except,why should he get a lifetime of wealth? he should have been tresured as a hero i don't think he should have gotten wealth but to be honest i agree with you but everyone has to work or the world will stop :P or some shit like that

@lupezurfer he was very low and if you eject at that altitude the parachute won't open fully and so he would have died anyways

@2012myfight When i see CNN i smash the source showing the American capitalist pig propaganda. I also spit on BBC wich is also controlled by the Americans but is not as bad as CNN, FOX and NBC wich are controlled 100% by US goverment. BBC is British propaganda with filthy American influence over it too. I hate communism, but i despite capitalism even more because its just greed in purest form and way more evil than communism as an ideology. Social democracy is best, like in Scandinavia!!!
