Description

Vintage Soviet cigarette case with cosmos theme
MADE IN USSR!

 

Commemorating the flight of Vostok-1 on April 12th 1961: an enamelled red rocket and globe among red, white and silver stars, with the inscription 12-IV-61 «ВОСТОК» СССР.

 

On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space aboard the Vostok-1 spacecraft, orbiting the Earth once in a historic 108-minute flight, a major victory for the USSR in the Space Race and the start of the era of human spaceflight.

  • The Flight: Vostok-1 lifted off from Baikonur, circled the Earth once and returned Gagarin safely to Soviet soil the same morning.
  • Gagarin’s Status: The 27-year-old pilot became an instant global hero, was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union, and inspired many to dream of space.
  • Significance: April 12 is still celebrated as Cosmonautics Day, and since 2011 as the International Day of Human Space Flight.
