Do the kids not know who Yuri Gagarin is?

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world -3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

why would they? esp in America/Western countries. They know who Neil Armstrong is though.

The Russian kids know who he is.

Because when I was growing up in the 90s they used to teach this stuff in American schools; do they not anymore?

No. They don't teach facts anymore.
