Russian Cosmonaut (1934-1968) who became the first human to travel in space on April 12, 1961. DS, in Spanish, signed by Gargarin in red ink on the line designating him “Presidente,” one page, 5.75 x 3.75, Moscow, no date [but 1965]. The document is entitled, in Spanish, “Sociedad De Amistad Sovietico-Cubano,” translating to “Society of Friendship of USSR-CUBA.” The document pays tribute to the heroes of the Bay of Pigs on the fourth anniversary of the unsuccessful American attempt to invade Cuba in 1961. "We salute......the Cuban heroes that built Socialism and defended liberty.....Independence to the Country...." In fine condition. Coincidentally, Gagarin's manned space flight occurred in the same month and year of the Bay of Pigs invasion, April, 1961. The anniversary referred to is also that of his space flight. A unique artifact from Communist Cuba.
