On April 12, 1961 Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin made the world’s first flight of a man to space and became the first cosmonaut of the planet of Earth. Two years prior to the 50th anniversary of this great event it makes sense to carry out preparation of a PR-campaign reminding the world community about the flight of Yu. A. Gagarin. First of all, there must be made an advanced Internet portal about the preparation and the execution of the first space flight. It is necessary to prepare the publication of the multilingual photo albums and to make a high-class documentary.
