On April 12, the celebration of Cosmonautics Day took place at the Russian House in Washington.
Students of the school at the Russian Embassy in the United States visited the famous space library, opened in 2001 and dedicated to the rivalry and cooperation between Russia and the United States in space and saw a time capsule that will be opened for the 100th anniversary of Gagarin’s flight into space in 2061.
The guests of the Russian House also took part in a quiz on the knowledge of Yuri Gagarin’s biography.
The winner received a copy of the first cosmonaut’s bust, which was donated by Russia to the National Museum of Aviation and Cosmonautics in Washington.
In addition, there was a screening of the film “How I became an astronaut” about Konstantin Borisov, who recently returned from the International Space Station.
