Editorial Reviews

In 1961, the Soviet media reported that Yuri Gagarin had become the first man in space. However, with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the release of previously declassified documents, an astonishing truth has been unearthed.

The first man in space was not Gagarin, but Vladimir Ilyushin – one of Russia’s most celebrated test pilots. This breakthrough documentary reveals for the first time ever how Ilyushin’s mission ended in severe injury.

Learn how Soviet authorities, robbed of the image of a conquering hero, decided to conceal the facts from the world.
