[FPSPACE] New nutty Soviet space 'history' show: FALLEN IDOL: THE YURI GAGARIN CONSPIRACY

Thu Apr 23 18:50:27 EDT 2009

In American English, when referring to productions in the
documentary style that are meant as satires, we call them
'mockumentaries' -- as in mockery, eg "This is Spinal Tap",
"A mighty wind", etc. For documentary-style productions
that are just crackpot, we call them 'crockumentaries',
signifiying a close relationship with the phrase "crock of s--t"
to describe their quality. This looks like such an example.
But of course we should withold judgment until the
source references are checked out.  -- Jim O

Synopsis:

After decades of exhaustive research, and at a cost of over a million dollars, a team of investigative filmmakers expose the shocking evidence of an international cover-up. All of the history books list the first man in space as Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. Well, this documentary is here to prove Gagarin was NOT first. 

This chilling film unequivocally confirms another cosmonaut was in orbit then, one who crash-landed in China. The entire launch was hidden from the world for 50 years, blotted out, meant to be erased from history in a bizarre conspiracy perpetuated by not only the totalitarian Soviet government and the K.G.B., but also the U.S. Air Force and the C.I.A., all of whom had agents that had actually tracked and, to their downfall here, recorded this 'pre-Gagarin' flight. 

In addition, Gagarin's subsequent decline into mental illness and alcoholism was the result of him knowing he wasn't the first man in space, recognizing he was living a lie. The movie gives a glimpse into the appalling consequences of an international superstar's very public mood swings and outrageously inappropriate actions while under the influence. 

More terrifying evidence is starkly presented in this film, exposing how Gagarin was murdered in cold blood by the K.G.B. - incinerated in a phony jet crash seven years after his flight into space. Here, at last, is proof, showing how Gagarin's body was never recovered, how his whereabouts, alive or dead, are still a state secret unknown to this day - even though there was a magnificent funeral, amidst pomp and circumstance, in front of millions of viewers as the hero's 'ashes' were touchingly placed in the Kremlin wall. All of the world's history books will have to change to accommodate the startling new truths revealed in this remarkable film.

The thick curtain of secrecy and deceipt covering the early soviet space program has endured for over forty years. The early "Raketoplan" rocket-powered aircraft flights, the sub-orbital launches and the first manned orbital missions have all been pushed into forced oblivion by the state censors of a country that no longer exists.
The new Russia and the countries in the Russian Federation have embraced freedom and democracy and are struggling to free themselves of the old shackles, in a new push for "transparency" in state affairs. The first breakthroughs are finally occurring. 

Dr. Serghei Khruschev, the son of former soviet leader Nikita Khruschev has recently become a citizen of the United States. During the years of the 'space race', he worked for Vladimir Chelomei, Chief Rocket Designer in charge of development of boosters and space vehicles. Khruschev is currently a research fellow at Brown University.
He has provided evidence that supports the existence of the 'unofficial' missions of the 1960s. Other former soviet officials who have contributed information about these early missions include Col. Yuri Lyzlov and Capt. Anatoli Grushenko, formerly of the SSRF (Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces) and directly involved in the soviet space program during the '60s and '70s.
They participated directly in the the preparations for Vladimir Ilyushin's spaceflight and they witnessed the launch of the capsule "Rossyia". They have recounted those events in recent television interviews. 

It is interesting to note the reaction of some well-known western "experts" on soviet space history to the revelations that are coming out of the Russian Federation.
These "experts" have built their reputation on their interpretation of the soviet space program and they now blindly refuse to examine this new evidence. In the internet newsgroup dedicated to space history, these respected writers have launched personal attacks against the authors of this website; instead of looking at the evidence with an open mind, they attempted to ridicule our sources, resorted to name calling and even to anti-italian slurs.
In a public show of their spineless character, some of these "experts" have not had the courage to use their real names, preferring instead to hide behind a pseudonym. So much for having the courage of their convictions!
Some of these "experts" were recently invited to debate the issue on television in the presence of some of the prominent former soviet space program officials who are now living in the West and who have provided material that sheds light on those early, secret space missions. The fact that they ignored the invitation comes as no surprise to the author of the present notes. 

We invite debate and welcome constructive comments and contributions. All our website visitors can contact us personally via email: we'll reply to every message. 

Finally, we are providing a link to an open letter sent by Dr. E.H. Haimoff, producer of a program recently shown on the PBS network in the U.S. entitled "The Cosmonaut Cover-up". 
We have no connection with Dr. Haimoff nor with the program he has produced. However, we share the views expounded in his program and we support the response he gave the "experts" who hurriedly criticized his account.
