🌟 On April 10, 1944, the Red Army liberated the city of Odessa from the Nazi German and Romanian invaders as a result of a decisive offensive under the command of Army General Rodion Malinovsky.
The operation began on the night of March 26, 1944, when the 3rd Ukrainian Front formations began to force the Southern Bug River in order to break through the German defences, and lasted until April 14, 1944.
By 10 am on April 10, as a result of fierce fighting, Odessa was liberated. The Red Army units were strongly supported by partisans and underground fighters, who cleared the city of the enemy and prevented the blowup of the Odessa port, piers, buildings, and warehouses as planned by the Germans.
🕯 The Nazi occupation of the city lasted 907 days. During this time, about 200,000 people perished in Odessa and the surrounding region. Many of them became victims of mass-scale massacres and cruel executions; 78,000 people were shipped for forced labour in Germany, plants and factories were destroyed, and more than 2,000 buildings, including hospitals and schools, were blown up and burned down.
Retreating, German and Romanian soldiers shot old people, women and children in the streets in cold blood , mined the most important buildings, factories, the power plant, and the seaport.
⚔️ The Soviet forces inflicted a crushing defeat on the enemy, killing more than 27,000 enemies and taking over 11,000 prisoners; 952 artillery guns, 443 tanks and assault guns, and 95 warehouses with ammunition and food were destroyed.
Thanks to the liberation of Odessa, the Red Army managed to interrupt the supply of the Crimean group of German troops and to open the way for further advance towards the Balkans.
During the whole time of occupation, local residents, many of whom after the capture of the city went hiding in the catacombs underneath the urban landscape, put fierce resistance to the Nazis. During the war, Odessa underground fighters and partisans destroyed more than 5,000 enemy soldiers and officers, 248 automobiles, and saved about 20,000 Soviet citizens from being taken to Germany.
The liberation of Odessa was marked in Moscow with fireworks of the highest category with 24 salvos from 324 artillery guns. The entire Soviet nation was united in a jubilation.
🎖 Twenty-seven formations and units with the most distinguished track record during the operation were awarded the honorary name of Odessa units and formations. For heroism and bravery in the battles for the city, 14 people were awarded the noscript of Hero of the Soviet Union, and more than 2,000 people were awarded Soviet orders and medals.
On May 1, 1945, Odessa was declared a Hero City, and on May 8, 1965 it was awarded this noscript officially.

🚀 12 апреля 1961 года в 09:07 по московскому времени с космодрома Байконур стартовал космический корабль «Восток» с лётчиком-космонавтом Юрием Алексеевичем Гагариным на борту — начался первый в мире полёт человека в космос, ознаменовавший наступление космической эры в истории человечества.
На момент полёта ему было всего 27 лет. За плечами – непростой путь, включая пришедшееся на Великую Отечественную войну и гитлеровскую оккупацию родного края детство, а также извилистая дорога к небу – от Саратовского аэроклуба до Первого отряда космонавтов СССР.
В то памятное апрельское утро он отправлялся в неизвестность, туда, где ещё не бывал ни один человек. Фотограф запечатлел перед отлётом лицо космонавта: ни тени страха, знаменитая «гагаринская» улыбка перемежавшаяся лишь с сосредоточенностью на выполнении ответственного задания.
🧑🚀 Юрий Гагарин провёл в космосе 108 минут, совершив полный виток вокруг Земли, и успешно приземлился в районе села Смеловки Саратовской области.
Во время нахождения на орбите он поддерживал радиосвязь с Землёй, вёл наблюдения в иллюминатор, контролировал работу систем корабля, проводил простейшие эксперименты.
📰 Новость о полёте Юрия Алексеевича вышла уже через 55 минут после старта ракеты «Восток», став наиболее цитируемым сообщением в мире. В одночасье советский лётчик истребительного авиационного полка превратился в самого знаменитого человека на Земле.
Спустя два дня жители советской столицы с цветами и приветственными плакатами вышли на улицы, чествуя прибывшего в Москву космонавта. Уже в конце апреля первый космонавт Земли отправился в зарубежное турне, чтобы поделиться с людьми нашей планеты увиденным.
🌐 В течение двух лет после этого исторического события Юрий Гагарин посетил более 30 стран, где его чествовали как героя. Турне получило неофициальное название «Миссия мира». Несмотря на обрушившуюся на него славу, Гагарин остался верен себе, до последнего дня жизни продолжал заниматься любимым делом – авиацией и космонавтикой.

🚀 On April 12, 1961, at 9.07 am Moscow Time, the Vostok spacecraft with Yury Gagarin aboard made its historic lift-off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. This first manned space mission in the history of humankind heralded the beginning of the Space Age.
Yury #Gagarin was only 27 years old then. He had experienced various hardships earlier in life, spending his childhood years in his home town in Nazi-occupied territory during the Great Patriotic War. After the war, he joined the Saratov air club, for many years he trained hard to become a professional pilot. Gagarin eventually joined the first Soviet cosmonaut squad.
On that memorable April morning, he was preparing to take off into the unknown where no human being had ever been before. A photographer took images of the cosmonaut’s face before the flight. Gagarin showed absolutely no fear, flashing his famous smile and concentrating on his responsible assignment.
🧑🚀 Yury Gagarin spent 108 minutes in outer space, orbited the Earth and successfully landed near the village of Smelovka in the Saratov Region.
While in orbit, he maintained radio contact with Earth, conducted observations through a porthole, controlled the operation of the spacecraft’s systems and made a few experiments.
📰 The media widely announced Yury Gagarin’s mission 55 minutes after the Vostok rocket lifted off. It became the most quoted news story worldwide. Instantly, a Soviet pilot & cosmonaut became the most famous person on Earth.
Two days later, the residents of the Soviet capital took to the streets, carrying flowers and posters that welcomed Gagarin who had arrived in Moscow. In late April, the first man in space went on a global tour to share his impressions with people all over the world.
🌐 In the next two years following this history-making event, Yury Gagarin visited over 30 countries where he was given a hero’s welcome. His tour was unofficially named the Peace Mission. Despite his immense popularity, Gagarin remained his own usual self and continued to engage in what he liked most – aviation and cosmonautics – for the rest of his life.
