Russian cosmonaut Gagarin helmet mystery

2016/05/12

Russian blogger and photographer Marina was wondering on Yuri Gagarin's helmet  - why on some photos it has CCCP (USSR) sign on it and some photos show just white helmet with no letters or whatsoever. Was the sign was "photoshopped" later? Were the photos doctored by Russian mass media? She went to the museum to find out the truth and this is what she got!

In reality the helmet bears the (CCCP) USSR sign on it. However it was not always there!

Yuri Gagarin really had no signs on his helmet initially. Even on the day he was planned to go to become the first man in space - he had no red letters CCCP on his helmet.
