| In the small Fife town of Lumphinnans there is a street named in honour of the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. |
| Possokhov uses excerpts from fellow Ukrainian Yuri Krasavin's film scores and abridgments of familiar Beethoven works. |
| He wanders into a local gym, sees world welterweight champion Yuri in the ring, and offers to spar with him. |
| On April 12, 1961, the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1 lifted off into space to achieve the first Earth orbit. |
| Some forty years ago, the Soviets took the bull by the horns and launched Yuri Gagarin into space. |
| The scene of Yuri writing his poems in an ice-encrusted dacha with wolves and winds howling outside seems to sum up this land. |
