12 April 10:59
Today, April 12, the main clock of Krasnoyarsk changed its tune in honor of Cosmonautics Day.
The mayor’s office reported that at 12:00, 15:00, 18:00 and 21:00, Vladimir Miguly’s composition “Grass at the House” will be played over the square near the city administration building.
On this day exactly 65 years ago, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on the Vostok-1 spacecraft and made an orbital flight around planet Earth for the first time in the world.
Let us remind you that Krasnoyarsk “Big Ben” traditionally changes its musical accompaniment in honor of public holidays and important dates. For example, on January 25, in honor of Russian Student Day, the city clock played “Student’s Song” or “From the Vagants,” and on February 23, the march “Farewell of the Slavic Woman.”
