GAGARIN IN RIO DE JANEIRO... 

Gagarin, a hero on vacation! takes a little time off and splashes at a swimming pool.
a little horse-play between Gagarin & his Missus!
a Brazilian journalist trying to show off her Russian and her obtuseness with a negative portrayal of someone who could do no wrong.

Gagarin super-star!

Young Yuri.
