The committee to investigate the death of cosmonaut, test pilot, Soviet Union Hero Yuri Gagarin was established on March 28, 1968 – the next day after the tragedy. However, all documents related to the investigation were subsequently classified. The committee stopped its existence too.
The only official document about the death of Yuri Gagarin is the obituary: “As a result of catastrophe during a training flight.” The obit was signed by the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. However, the document does not contain a word on the cause of death of Gagarin and his co-pilot, Seregin.
Yuri Gagarin was flying a MiG-15 jet on March 27, 1968. The five-ton aircraft smashed into pieces as it crashed down.
Several units of Soviet troops were called to search 12 kilometers of the area around the crash site.
Specialists collected over 90 percent of what had been left of the fighter jet. That is very surprising because they can usually recover only 40 of 60 percent.
The crash site was not found immediately after the tragedy. Rescuers were searching for Gagarin’s and Seregin’s white parachutes. Authorities originally believed that the two pilots had catapulted themselves. However, there were no parachutes found.
The crater was found in the woods. The crash site was encircled six hours later. Specialists, who examined the site on March 28, 1968 were shocked. They found out that the crew of the crashed jet fighter had no parachutes at all. They found only cords that someone had cut off with a knife.
Version 1. A terrorist act.
Someone cut the cords off not to let pilots catapult themselves. Gagarin and Seregin had no chance to survive in the crash. It was rumored that then-Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev, was extremely envious of Gagarin’s fame, and he ordered to get rid of the cosmonaut.
However, only a few people knew that KGB officers found the missing parachutes three days after the crash. The parachutes were found in one of the villages nearby. Locals found the crash site and cut the cords off an stole the parachutes thinking that their fabric could come in handy some day.
Version 1. A bird .
