VVTs
VVTs (All-Russian Exhibition Centre, former VDNKh) was established in 1937, and containing of more than 80 pavillions each representing one aspect of the great economic, industrial and technical might of communism, the Exhibition of Economic Achievements functioned as such until the 1980s. Today, miniature trains ferry shoppers around this gigantic complex.
On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space when he orbited the earth in Vostok-I. "Poyekhali!" ("Here we go!"), he exclaimed as he blasted off. He flew into space and spent 108 minutes there. Gagarin became a Hero of our country. Tragically, Gagarin died in a 1968 plane crash while training for a second space flight, but people always remember the first Russian cosmonaut.
