This print showcases the remarkable cosmonaut Gherman Titov, a prominent figure in the Soviet space program during the 20th century. Born in 1935, Major Titov made history as the second Soviet to venture into space, following Yuri Gagarin's groundbreaking achievement. On August 6th and 7th, 1961, he embarked on an awe-inspiring journey aboard the Vostok II spacecraft, completing an impressive 17 orbits around our planet. Titov's mission was not only a testament to human endurance but also highlighted his unwavering dedication to scientific exploration. During his exhilarating voyage lasting over 25 hours, he managed to consume two meals and even found time for sleep amidst the vastness of outer space. Although Titov never returned to space after this extraordinary feat, he continued contributing significantly as a test pilot. His immense knowledge and expertise led him towards another path of service when he was elected as a member of the Russian Parliament (Duma) in 1995 under the Communist party banner.
