Yuri Gagarin in Colour - "Long live peace!" - 1962 - RT 2021

"Long live peace!"
Yuri Gagarin, 12th of April 1962

On the 60th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s landmark trip around planet Earth - on the 12th of April 2021 - RT published (https://swentr.site/russia/520853-yuri-gagarin-anniversary-speech-color/

) this unique footage of his speech from the first anniversary of this flight – renewed and coloured using modern neural-network technologies.

The first man in space welcomed John Glenn to the family of cosmonauts, and used the occasion to send a powerful message of peace as he said that cooperation in space between the US and the USSR “would open the way to stopping the onerous and pointless arms race as well as to channelling the joint efforts of both superpowers towards new scientific breakthroughs in space exploration.”

In 2022, RT's channel was "freedomofspeeched" by YouTube, and it seemed that the footage was lost. Thankfully, Defensa Critica (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHbC1ZOm3qM

) saved the RT footage on their YouTube channel.
