Among those smiling faces was an 11-yeat-old Glasgow schoolboy, Robin McKie. 4 Inthe summer of 1961, he made a special trip to Earls Cour. in London with his mother to meet Major Gagarin - the first man in space, This April will be the 50th anniversary of the fight and scientists are marking the occasion by launching an appeal for anyone who met the Soviet during his visit to the UK 8 Major Gagarin became an instant celebrity during his globetrotting tour, which had been engineered to trumpet the USSR's achievement in beating America into manned space fight, 10 The trp took him to Manchester and to London where, during @ news conference, he expressed gratitude for the wonderful welcome he had received, ‘Young self-confessor Major Gagarin was to visit 'space-nut" Robin was delighted when his mother said she would be taking him to the Soviet trade fair where “All the science fiction stories fd been reading were now true, and there was a man in space,” sald Robin, The majar’s space fight left its mark on the Scotsman’s life and he's now science editor at the Observer newspaper. 16 Robin insists: "I'm not saying | wouldn't have been a science writer if | hadn't gone to see Gagarin. But it really reinforced it. And | am etemally grateful to my mother, that she gave me that opportunity." 18 The trade fair was ful of life size models of Soviet space rockets and satelites, and they were what really excited the schoolboy, but Robin continues to have a vivid memory of Gagarin arriving atthe exhibition 20 He said: “The thing that struck me really was the smile. He had the most beautiful smile. It was just hypnotic. "We weren't quite close enough to touch him. He walked past us at some speed. “He waved at - not me, but in my general direction. Therefore, in my memory he waved absolutely fantastic.” ‘me. And I waved very excitedly back. "I was absolutely - over the moon is a stupid phrase - but, that really was 24 Gagarin’s tour did not bring him to Scotland, but there is a corner of Fife that marks his triumph, 25 The Scottish Special Housing Association was building a new scheme at Lumphinans, a former mining village on the outskirts of Cowdenbeath and in December 1961 local councilors dacided that one of the roads should be called Gagarin Way. 27 Not everyone who lives there now is very clear about how, or why, the street got ts name but one resident says that the area Used to be known as "Litle Moscow”. She suspects that the name might have been chosen to celebrate the USSR's achievement. 2729° And indeed at Dunfermline library the local history librarian, Janice Erskine, confirms that part of the kingdom of Fife had a very particular political history, linked to the local mining industry. She says that though their union had affiliated to the Labour Parly, miners were frustrated thal the party wasn't leftawing enough, 32 Later, the area became one ofthe frst in Britain to retum a communist MP to Westminster and it was a tradition that lived on, with communists elected to the council 34 Looking through the archive, Janice Erskine says itis prlty clear that it was one of them who suggested the name for the new road, PASSAGE 4-Adopted from The Guardian.

Itwas ten o'clock in the evening and the full moon was shining over the garden. Inthe Shumins’ house an evening service celebrated atthe request ofthe grandmother, Marfa Mihalovna, was just over, and now Nadya ~ she had gone into the garden for a minute ~ could s6e the table being laid for supper in the dining-room, and her grandmother busting about in her gorgeous sik dress; Father Andrey, a chief priest of the cathedral, was talking to Nadya’s mother, Nina Wanovna, and now in the evening light through the ‘Window her mother for some reason looked very young; Andrey Andreitch, Father Andrey's son, was standing by listening attentively. 6 [twas stil and coo! in the garden, and dark peaceful shadows lay on the ground. There was a sound of frogs eroaking, far, far away beyond the town. There was a feeling of May, sweet May! One drew deep breaths and longed to fancy that not here but far away under the sky, above the tees, far away in the open country, inthe felds and the woods, the lf of spring was unfolding now, mysterious, lovely rich and holy beyond the understanding of weak, sinful man, And for some reason one wanted to cry 40. Sho, Nadya, was already twenty-three, Ever since she was sixteen she had been passionately dreaming of marriage and at last she was engaged to Andrey Andreitch, the young man who was standing onthe other side ofthe window: she liked him, the wedding was already fied for July 7, and yet there was no oy inher heart, she was sleeping badly, her spins drooped... She could hear from the open windows of the basement where the kitchen was the hurrying servants, the clatter of knives, the banging ofthe swing door there was a smell of roast turkey and pickled cherries, and for some reason it seemed to her that it would be Ike that al her life, with no change, no end tit. 46 Some one came out of the house and stood on the steps; it was Aleksandr Timofelteh, or, as he was always called, Sasha, who had come from Moscow ten days before and was staying with them. Years ago a distant relation of the grandmother, a gentleman's Widow called Marya Petrovna, a tin, sicky litle woman whe had sunk into poverty, used to come tothe house to ask fo assistance She had a son Sasha. Itused for some reason tobe said that he had talent as an artist, and when his mother died Nadya's grandmother had, forthe salvation of her sou, sent him to the Komisearovsky school in Moscow; two years later he went into the school of painting, spent nearly fitesn years there, and only just managed to scrape through the leaving examination in the section of architecture, He did not set up as an architect, however, but took a job at a Ithographer's. He used to come almost every year, usually vari, to stay with Nadya's grandmother to rest and recover. 24 He was wearing now a frock-coat buttoned up, and shabby canvas trousers, crumpled into creases atthe bottom. And hs shit had not been ironed and he had somehow allover a ook of not being fresh. He was very thi, with big eyes, long thin fingers and a swarthy bearded face, and al the same he was handsome, With the Shumins he was lke one ofthe family, and in their house felt he ‘was at home, And the room in which he lived when he was there had for years been called Sasha's room.
