British tabloid Daily Star published another pseudo-sensation, this time timed to coincide with the recently celebrated International Day of Cosmonautics. The publication has an illegible record (see below), in which some supposedly Soviet cosmonaut Lyudmila complains about the unbearable heat and, apparently, dies.
Western conspiracy theorists have theories about the dozens of dead Soviet cosmonauts that preceded Yuri Gagarin.
Such theories are based on radio communications, which were allegedly intercepted by the brothers Achilles and Giovanni Battista Giudica-Cordilovi, radio amateurs from Italy in the early sixties.
“These records are irrefutable proof of the secret launches of people into space, carried out in the USSR. Before the Soviet Union managed to safely deliver Yuri Gagarin into orbit and, more importantly, back, dozens of brave astronauts from the USSR perished in near-earth space, writes the Daily Star.
The recording itself, by the way, appeared on the Internet a year ago. Many experts question its authenticity. Take, for example, the wild accent with which the supposedly Soviet cosmonaut Lyudmila speaks illegibly.
