First in Space is the exhibition that the Russian Center of Varna Free University "Chernorizets Hrabar" placed at the disposal of the students from the Private Secondary School Yuri Gagarin in honor of March 9 - the birthday of Yuri Gagarin - the first man to fly into space. The opening was attended by diplomats from the Consulate General of Russia in Varna - Consul Counselor Oksana Zhernovaya and Musa Gadzhiev - Third Secretary at the Consulate General, as well as Nikolay Nedyalkov, Executive Director of the Wellness Complex Kamchiya. On the eve of the patron saint's day of the school, the students were greeted by the President of the University Assoc. Prof. Dr. Krassimir Nedyalkov and Prof. Galina Shamonina - Secretary General and Head of the Russian Center of VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar".
The exposition was developed by the Russian Center at VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar". It contains unique photographic materials related to the history of space research and flights, the scientific contribution of Bulgaria and the visit of many astronauts to Varna. Among them is Yuri Gagarin, who visited our city on May 26, 1961 - a month and a half after his space flight. A special place is devoted to the Bulgarian space team - Georgi Ivanov, Alexander Alexandrov and Krassimir Stoyanov from Varna. The exhibition panels convey the atmosphere of the days and events that left "space" memories in our city. The exhibition is developed by teams of teachers and students who actively document and study the history of space flight and research. Unique documents from state, institutional, public and personal archives were systematized. With the exhibition, the university participates in the international competition First in Space, organized by the Russkiy Mir Foundation.
The exhibition is expected to be presented to students from other schools in Varna and the region. A virtual tour available online for anyone interested in the history of astronautics is to be prepared.
It is on display at the Private Secondary School Yuri Gagarin until March 27, 2021.
