Dmitry Gudkov: "I hope that Russia will once return its place in space"

“Valentina Tereshkova, who has retrained to State Duma deputies and supported all repressive laws of recent years, talks about how the Cosmonautics Day will celebrate,” writes a politician on Facebook .

"The Duma delegation, led by Vyacheslav Volodin, will see how things are going on at the construction site of the new Saratov Airport, which should open in September. He received the name" Gagarin ". It is very important for us that the name is the key to success for the transport hub. We will go from the airport to the place where Yura landed on April 12, 1961 at 10:55 a.m. The bolder immediately nicknamed Gagarinsky, now there is an obelisk with a rocket and a monument to the astronaut, and in 2011, on the 50th anniversary of the first flight, there was an “Gallery of Cosmonautics” there.

Alas, this is the astronautics in modern Russia:

1. Name something in honor of long success.

2. Put the monument to the spacecraft - thank you for not tombstone.

3. Make a rally and sports competitions.

4. Eat in the Kremlin.

I will not even ask if the first woman-cosmonaut says seriously. I see that seriously.

In what condition is our cosmonautics actually located, we know. We know the steps of whose rockets land back . We know who plans to colonize Mars, and not talk about it. What can I say.

Let me remind you only one fact: my bill on private cosmonautics, in fact, allowed to create this industry in Russia, was rejected by the State Duma. Remember, Valentina Vladimirovna? The creator of the Russian private space company Dauria Aerospeis Mikhail Kokorich left for the United States. And with the astronautics, everything became fine with us right away. What are the embezzlement of theft in Roscosmos? Good!

I hope that Russia will once return its place in space. But this will be done precisely contrary to the efforts of the current state.

Happy Cosmonautics Day, friends! "
