International Day of Human Space Flight

[obyknven]

The first flight of the person in space which was made by Yu. A. Gagarin by the East-1 spaceship on April 12, 1961. Today  only ex-USSR contries celebrate this day, meanwhile westlings don't celebrate this because of butthurt.

International Day of Xs are downright retarded. Every single one of them is an International Day of Who the F Cares for everyone but those invested in agenda X. This is also true of Nation Day/Month of X.

That said, yes the west generally recognizes and celebrates the first man in space. We certainly did in every astronomy, physics, and 20th century history class I ever took. And there's plenty of shows in propaganda land (ie: the 'History channel) that even have. No one credible that I've ever seen has downplayed Russia's space program.

 

Consider your attempt at picking a fight with the 'west' a failure.

Pretty much. No one sensible would downplay the Russian contribution for the space race; rather, it's mostly venerated.

 

Gagarin was a bro too:

 

 

 

When he visited Manchester in the United Kingdom, it was pouring rain. However, Gagarin insisted that the car hood remain back so that the cheering crowds could catch a glimpse of him. Gagarin stated, "If all these people have turned out to welcome me and can stand in the rain, so can I." Gagarin refused an umbrella and remained standing in his open-top Bentley so that the cheering crowds could still see him.

 

 

 

Sergei Korolev, one of the masterminds behind the early years of the Soviet space program, later said that Gagarin possessed a smile "that lit up the Cold War"

Not sure if you're aware but the International Space Station is almost exclusively American and Russian. (a Korean or some other crap stops by every couple years) You're definitely not being excluded in regards to recognition for space exploration.
