We could have gone to space together...we could have seen the stars...

This song always makes me think of Laika, the space dog. It’s the title and the bitter-sweet melody.

Hey people! Do you really think that this future never came? Just listen this track and it's happens. I swear.

Something seems.. missing from this illustration. I feel like the artist who made the drawing should have added the initials "CCCP" on the top of the helmet just like the helmets used by Soviet Cosmonauts. It would've been perfect with this theme of music.

‘Let me show you this,’ he insisted, before I left. A trio of small, beige items came out of a cabinet and were laid out on a cloth. They had been white once, but age had darkened them like bone. Their surfaces were worn, but I could still make out the trace of silver on the engine bells, and the red markings along the fuselage.

Since I found that Soviet wave radio stream thing I'm almost ok with being on house arrest for the rest of our lives, then those songs kick in that remind me we're under house arrest for the rest of our lives. 'What a long strange trip its been.'

R.I.P YURI GAGARIN

I will always thank the Soviets for sending our man Rakesh Sharma into space.

"The country of workers and peasants is storming the stellar ocean!"

Forgive us Yura, we screwed everything up!

Since I heard this song in the sovietmix of New soviet wave, it is now one of my favorite, nice extend too

This sounds like the hopes and dreams of humanity

There is that strange melancholy in the song, it tugs at your heart.

Гордись, советский человек, ты к звездам путь открыл с земли!

Damn, hits me right in the feels.
