    How does “culture” excuse such an attitude? Imagine if a certain group said that their version of socialism allowed them to be racist to another group, or misogynistic — it would rightfully be seen as reactionary and deplorable.

    I struggle to see how this is any different. Further, the Presidentium had been working to make strides in LGBT acceptance and rights in the late 70s, to which they were prevented in moving forward by the disaster that was Gorbachev’s administration.

      Lets remind ourselves what the first words uttered in space where, ‘no god’

      Not all Russians bought the churches brainworms.

        Sadly that isn’t true. Gagarin’s first words in space were “The sky is very black. The Earth is blue. Everything can be seen, it is very clear”.

        The line about “No gods” comes from an erroneous attribution of a Khrushchev quote to Gagarin which he supposedly said several days after his trip; however there is no evidence to back this up, which combined with the fact that Gagarin was an active member of the Orthodox Church, makes it unlikely that he ever said anything related to the line.
