Compare today media wars around Syria
Sep 19, 2017 at 12:51 comment added Arioch @FedericoPoloni indeed, for example public videos of Gagarin starting reportedly were staged after his return. However, month after landing Gagarin was sent to over-the-world trip, to settle USSR triumph. For example 18 July 1961 he was in Cuba: youtube.com/watch?v=Vd0B-zyxrL4 . Now you may say, Cuba being USSR-friendly and USA-antagonistic could play into such a propaganda effort, but in the same very July Gagarin also visited London, UK. And UK would have little compel to suppress any health issues Gagarin could have.
