Did Yuri Gagarin really mention Anna Magnani in his flight in space?
Upvote:13
The complete transcript of all the communication of Yuri Gagarin with the command center during the flight on April 12, 1961, as well as the transcript of everything Gagarin recorded with the tape recorder he had on board the space ship was published in the Russian language in the official journal of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in April 1991. These materials were declassified on the 30th anniversary of Gagarin's flight. In the transcript Gagarin is mentioned as "Кедр" ("Cedar") which was his code name.
The Russian words братство (brotherhood), искусство (art), Анна (Anna), Маньяни (Magnani) are not found in the transcript. Note that the first three of these words have several different case forms each with their last letter substituted for another ending, but even without the last letter they are not found in the transcript. Маньяни (Magnani), being an Italian surname and ending in -i which is atypical for Russian nouns, never changes its form in Russian, and it is also not found there.
Since Gagarin greeting Magnani from space is mentioned even in the Italian Wikipedia which quotes an Italian newspaper, and also on some Russian-language sites and blogs, I can guess that it is either a complete legend or Gagarin really said it as a joke or a compliment to Italy in an interview. But definitely it was not said out loud during the flight.
