Do you know Yuri Gagarin?

This program was dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the first human to journey into outer space, when Vostok spacecraft completed one orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961. In April 2011 we asked people on Melbourne streets who Yuri Gagarin was and what they remembered from this remarkable day of the last Century. The Russian speakers of course turned out to be well informed.
