Photo with Heroes of the Soviet Union of the USSR “Space flights”. In the photo there is Cosmonaut Leonov and other cosmonauts. An astronaut is a person who tests and operates space technology in space flight. The concept of space flight is different in different countries. According to the classification of the International Aeronautics Federation (FAI), a space flight is considered to be a flight whose altitude exceeds 100 km. According to the US Air Force classification, space flight is considered to be a flight whose altitude exceeds 50 miles (80 km 467 m). In Russia, space flight is an orbital flight, that is, a flight in which the device must make at least one revolution around the Earth. This is why the total number of astronauts differs in different sources.

We present to your attention a unique collectible photo of the XXII Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Delegations of the party organizations of the regions of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic with the leaders of the Communist Party and the Soviet Government. October 17-31, 1961, Moscow, Kremlin. The XXII Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was held from 17 to 31 October 1961 in Moscow and was held for the first time in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. Nikita Khrushchev announced during his speech that by 1980 communism would be built in the USSR. Among the gifts to the XXII Congress of the CPSU was the construction of the largest Volgograd hydroelectric power station in Europe and the explosion of the most powerful thermonuclear bomb in history at a test site on Novaya Zemlya. The congress strengthened the measures to combat the personality cult of Stalin, begun by the 20th congress in 1956. For the first time in radio reports and on the pages of newspapers informing Soviet people about the work of the congress, there were words about “monstrous crimes” and the need to restore “historical justice”, as well as stories about arrests, torture and murders that took place under Stalin throughout the country. Former prisoner AI Solzhenitsyn was shocked: For a long time I did not remember such an interesting reading as the speech at the XXII Congress! It was after the XXII Congress that the cities and objects in the USSR named after Stalin were renamed (in Eastern Europe this process began earlier), monuments were removed (except for the monument in his homeland – in Gori), and his body was taken out of the Mausoleum. The photograph shows the delegates from the Ukrainian Soviet Republic and the leaders of the Soviet Union of that period: Khrushchev, Podgorny, Shcherbitsky, Brezhnev, Mikoyan, Kosygin and others. In the second row, the legendary Marshal of the Soviet Union Vasily Chuikov, also invited to this congress of the Communist Party as a delegate, is captured (over Brezhnev and Shcherbitsky). Large photo – 15 x 18.5 inches. Made by a professional Kremlin party photographer and presented to one of the participants in the party congress. Very good for collection! PLEASE, SEE THE PICTURES.
