RUSSIA’S EARLY COSMONAUTS:
THE UNCENSORED STORIES”
(3 x 1hr programs in HIGH-DEFINITION w/Surround Sound 5.1)
After fifteen years of research, the truth is only now being revealed that what all of the
history books and encyclopedias reported as the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, turns
out NOT to be the first in space, but that he was preceded by another Russian
cosmonaut who crash landed and was covered up for over 45 years by BOTH the former
Soviet Union and the United States. In addition, the first fatality in the Soviet Space
Program, was about to be covered up as a bus accident, until Gagarin stepped in. The
lies, deceit, treachery, and dishonesty exhibited by the old Communist regime was
despicable and disgusting, but was just business as usual to them at that time. It is
now most important to tell the truth now, which is precisely what this 3-part mini-series
is all about. Some of the interviews for this mini-series were shot in HD and all archival
footage from that era has been professionally converted to HD, and mastered on HD
with an original 5.1 Surround Sound music track.

FALLEN IDOL:
THE YURI GAGARIN CONSPIRACY
After fifteen years of research and at a cost of over a million dollars, the filmmakers have
discovered brand-new evidence that reveals the first man in space was NOT Yuri
Gagarin, as all of the history books had reported. This new evidence unequivocally
proves that there was another cosmonaut who crash-landed and the entire event was
covered-up by not only the totalitarian Soviet government and K.G.B., but also the U.S. Air
Force and C.I.A., who actually had tracked and recorded the 'pre-Gagarin' flight, but are
to this day withholding the public release of that information largely because the U.S.
government does not want to admit that they were, in fact, spying on the old Soviet Union.
In addition, Yuri Gagarin's subsequent decline into mental illness, depression,
alcoholism and mood swings, are now exposed as a result of knowing he wasn't the
first man in space. Brand new evidence presented in this documentary now shows that
Gagarin was murdered by the KGB in a phony jet crash seven years after his flight into
space, that his body was never recovered and his whereabouts are still unknown - even
though there was a magnificent funeral amidst much pomp and circumstance as
Gagarin’s 'ashes' were placed in the Kremlin wall. All of the history books of the world
will have to be changed to accommodate the new truths as revealed in this documentary.

GENERAL VLADIMIR ILYUSHIN:
COVER-UP OF THE FIRST MAN IN SPACE
It’s April 12, 1961, the glory days of the Soviet Space Program, and the United States
watches in horror as the world’s premiere communist nation embarrasses the leader of
the free world in an unprecedented technological race to put the first man in space.
Major Yuri Gagarin was reported to have made a single orbit then returned to Earth, and
is immediately hailed as the conquering hero of the communist empire then paraded
around the world as the symbol of the superior Soviet socialist system. But was
Gagarin really the first man to go up in space?
Just days before, buried amongst the headlines, there were independent newspaper
and radio accounts in England, France and Hungary of a top secret launch to space
carrying the son of a famous Soviet aircraft designer -- a world-renowned test pilot by the
name of Vladimir Ilyushin -- the Soviet equivalent of America’s Chuck Yeager. Ilyushin
was one of the first Russians to break the sound barrier, besides being a test pilot flying
virtually all top Soviet jets of the late-1950s and early-1960s, and set dozens of world
altitude and speed records. As a result, Lieutenant-Colonel Ilyushin received the “Hero
Of The Soviet Union” award (which is the Soviet equivalent of America’s Congressional
Medal Of Honor) for his test pilot accomplishments, as well as the “Order of Lenin”
award, and was a member of the prestigious Soviet Parliament. By all Soviet standards,
Ilyushin was clearly the obvious choice to be the first man in space.
At the time, the Soviets had not yet perfected reentry and landing and believed it was not
possible to safely land a space capsule on the Earth’s surface with a human being
inside. The cosmonaut, therefore, was forced to eject at 10,000 feet and parachute to
the ground. But something went very wrong that day. The brave Ilyushin who attempted
this unprecedented flight was unable to eject. He crash-landed in the capsule -- and
miraculously survived, but he crash landed in the Soviet’s bitterest enemy, China. Badly
injured, he was sent to a hospital in China then later released, and vehemently denied
any such flight took place. Later, the Soviets insisted the badly injured cosmonaut was
in a Moscow hospital as the result of an ‘automobile accident,’ then promptly sent him to
a ‘health resort’ in China to recover. Viewed as unfit to represent the triumphant Soviet
Space Program, Soviet leadership refused to acknowledge Ilyushin’s historic flight, and
relegated all such reports to the garbage can of myths and hoaxes propagated by
Western media to demean the later ‘first’ flight of Gagarin.
Hard evidence of Ilyushin’s flight and the ensuing cover-up has been, up to now, top
secret; but with the collapse of communism and the break-up of the former Soviet
Union, formerly unavailable Kremlin archives now confirm these remarkable events.
And finally, at the age of 77, retired Russian Air Force General Vladimir Ilyushin,
reluctantly allowed himself to be filmed at an air museum with a top-quality documentary
production company, Global Science Productions, but is still scared to death to correct
history and reveal what he thought the world cared little about -- the Soviet cover-up, the
military secrecy, and the torturing ordeal that became his life. The documentary which
was produced by Global Science Productions, unearths the truth about the secrecy and
cover-ups that dominated the Soviet Space Program, sets the historical record straight,
and affords a man robbed the opportunity to share his private hell since 1961.

COLONEL VLADIMIR KOMAROV:
THE UNTOLD SUICIDE MISSION
Five years after his historic flight, Yuri Gagarin threatened to quit the cosmonaut corps. If
he wasn’t going to be able to fly again. The head of the space program, Sergei Korolyov,
saw a need to step in. Korolyov promised Gagarin that he’d get him back onboard a
flight, on the newly-developed Soyuz spaceship, scheduled for launch in 1967.
However, on January 14th, 1966, Sergei Korolyov went into a Moscow hospital for a
routine, minor surgical procedure. A malignant tumor was discovered, and Korolyov
died on the operating table. With the death of Korolyov, also went the promise to send
Gagarin back into space.
The new leaders ultimately decided to have Gagarin’s best friend, Vladimir Komarov, fly
on the maiden voyage of the new Soyuz instead. They did, however, give permission to
Gagarin to be Komarov’s back-up.
The Soviet Leader, Leonid Breshnev, was personally putting tremendous pressure on
everyone at the Space Agency to launch this new Soyuz spacecraft in time for the 50th
Anniversary Of The Communist Revolution celebration. Perhaps because of this, the
Space Agency set up a highly complex mission involving two Soyuz spacecraft being
sent up at roughly the same time and involving a total of four cosmonauts. This resulted
in the Space Agency being either unable, or unwilling, to accept Gagarin’s and Komarov’
s claim of design flaws and potential failures. Gagarin and Komarov even went so far
as to write a personal letter to Brezhnev, appealing to him to not use the spacecraft,
detailing its more than 200 problems, and requesting that the flight be postponed. That
letter was personally delivered to the Kremlin, but the letter mysteriously disappeared
shortly afterwards
Of the four unmanned test launches of the Soyuz before Komarov’s flight, ALL FOUR
were failures, having exploded on the launch pad or shortly after launch. Therefore,
Gagarin and Komarov came up with one last plan to stop the insanity of this mission.
The strategy was to create a HUGE scandal in the space community just two-and-a-half
days before Komarov’s flight, during a meeting with communist party members. The
audience was expecting simple, routine statements, but instead, saw Komarov stand
up and bluntly warn about several design flaws, and that the flight would be a suicide
mission if he flew on schedule. The audience, completely shocked, was totally taken by
surprise at Komarov’s brutal honesty. However, rather than the officials expressing
sympathy for Komarov’s cause and demanding an investigation — there was complete
silence, then one of the leading communist party officers stood up and told Komarov,
point-blank, that he was a coward, one not worthy of the uniform he was wearing.
Komarov looked up at all assembled and responded, quote - “I am ready to fly at any
time and on any day.” – end quote.
Gagarin himself made several frantic last-minute appeals for a personal meeting with
Breshnev. Brezhnev wanted the new spaceship launched on April 23rd, 1967, and no
one was willing, or able, to stand up to Leonid Brezhnev.
Komarov and the new Soyuz rocket were launched in the pre-dawn hours of April 23rd,
1967. However, just as Gagarin and Komarov predicted, the equipment failures began
almost immediately. The guidance system shorted out, the solar panels failed to deploy
properly, and Komarov’s capsule was losing electrical power and going out of control as
a result.
Komarov switched all systems to manual controls, and he was thus able to orient his
capsule properly for re-entry in the very narrow entry corridor at the soonest possible
opportunity. Gagarin had demanded to be the capsule communicator with Komarov in
the Mission Control Room, and so he was able to be with his best friend up until the
final moments of re-entry.
In reality, Komarov exhibited his superior test-pilot talents in getting the Soyuz capsule
under control and through the narrow re-entry corridor, but the batteries were exhausted
by the time of re-entry, and there was just no power left to deploy the parachutes to slow
the capsule down. Komarov’s capsule hit the Earth at 600 miles an hour, exploding
and almost disintegrating on impact when the fuel for the re-entry thrusters ignited.
There was no hope for Komarov’s survival. Gagarin hopped on the next plane out to the
landing site, to see for himself what had happened. Once there, he found a still-
smoldering crater, filled with twisted and melted wreckage. Traumatized by what he had
seen, Gagarin himself started to go through the wreckage picking up the pieces of what
was his best friend, and ordered as much of Komarov’s earthly remains as could be
readily located to be placed into a casket, and were immediately escorted back to
Moscow by Gagarin and other military officers that same day. The strictly-controlled
Soviet media was in a complete quandary about covering Komarov’s flight failure,
especially since the launch itself was widely reported with great fanfare and publicity. In
Komarov’s case, reporters were live and the public was waiting near their TVs and
radios to hear of the flight’s progress. But the Soviet news media totally ignored any
mention of the flight, almost as if there was never any flight at all.
Komarov’s wife, Valentina, immediately knew that her husband was dead. A group of
Generals pulled up to her driveway later that day, and gave her both good news and bad
news — the good news as told by the Generals was that her husband had heroically
survived both the flight and landing, and the mission itself was a big success, but the
bad news was that he died in a hospital as a result of burns he sustained in a bus
crash in the city of Sholkovo. The Generals left Valentina with her husband’s ‘official’
death certificate as dictated by the Kremlin. Valentina immediately called up Yuri, who
just returned from the crash site. She was in hysterics.
So, figuratively speaking, Gagarin and Brezhnev went eyeball-to-eyeball over what to do
with Komarov’s death. After all, the Marxist-Leninist communist philosophy was that of
never admitting any failures or accidents, and never before in the 50-year history of the
Soviet Union, had any major accident or failure ever been reported and made public.
However, this one time, it was Brezhnev who figuratively blinked first. Brezhnev
apparently backed down when confronted by Gagarin. Komarov was ultimately given a
tremendous hero’s funeral. One thing was for sure, that Brezhnev would not soon forget
being stung by Gagarin on this day, and being embarrassed into admitting a major
failure in Soviet technology.
