@redvan2000 The Soviets didn't want Gagarin to go back his old job. But he loved flying so much he begged to do it again. It's that Chuck Yeager thing; these guys want to fly until they die.
you'd think that the soviets would want to preserve Gagarin from "working" after being the first human in space. But noooooooooooo, they sent him back to the factory testing jets. was there not one person in the soviet govt that said "hey, what more can this guy do? let's give him a lifetime of wealth after honoring us to be the first in space".
