Four pages 16 ½" x 23 ½". This issue is dedicated entirely to perhaps the proudest moment and event in the entire Soviet history - the first manned space flight. It is clear from the titles and photos that the main cause for joy and jubilation was not so much the unprecedented 109 minutes of a human being in outer space as the fact that it was a Soviet man to go there first. Not really surprising, considering that it happened mere eighteen months before the Cold War peaked in the Cuban missile crisis.
In excellent condition. The paper is worn through at the crossing of the fold lines, but it is only about an inch long, with no paper missing, and repairable, if desired.
Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
