- Yuri Valentinovich, how will the lessons at the school in Star City be?
The only school in Star City was opened by Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin himself, and, after the tragic death of his friend, pilot-cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov, Twice Hero Soviet Union, petitioned for the school to be named after him. At the Zvezdny school, lessons will be held as in all schools of the Russian Federation, with only a slight difference - the guests of the students will be the cosmonauts of the USSR and the Russian Federation, Heroes of the Soviet Union and Russia. But for all schoolchildren in our country, the Gagarin lessons on April 12 will not be less interesting. Alexey Ovchinin and Heroes of Russia, pilot-cosmonauts of the Russian Federation Yuri Malenchenko and Oleg Skripochka will address the country's schoolchildren from the International Space Station with a congratulatory video message on the 55th anniversary of the flight of Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, the International Day of Cosmonautics and the first Gagarin lesson. The Cosmonaut Training Center will prepare video messages for schoolchildren, Twice Heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes of Russia, pilot-cosmonauts of the USSR and the Russian Federation, significant representatives of our industry. In general, I am sure that every teacher will make the Gagarin lesson for his class, his group unforgettable.
The first cosmonaut of the planet Yuri Gagarin
There is no other way about space. Of course, now, given the appearance in the history of our Cosmonaut Training Center and in the history of the rocket and space industry as a whole, such an official innovation, on the eve of it, more frequent visits to schools, preschool educational institutions countrywide. Although, I know, already now, Hero of Russia, pilot-cosmonaut of the Russian Federation Sergei Zaletin, he was born in Tula, as part of the preparation of the lesson, on April 11 he will hold meetings with schoolchildren at his native school in Shchekino, which bears his name today, the name of the Hero of Russia. Hero of the Soviet Union, USSR pilot-cosmonaut, 1st class test cosmonaut Viktor Mikhailovich Afanasyev regularly meets with schoolchildren and students in Bryansk. Just a few days ago passed public lesson memory at the school named after V. Komarov in Star City.
Yuri Gagarin has always been an example for children
School teachers demonstrated a film about Yuri Gagarin, collected from rare archival frames and photographs. The guests of honor of the show were Irina Bayanovna Solovyova, cosmonaut of the female cosmonaut corps, understudy of Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova and Hero of the Russian Federation, pilot-cosmonaut Valery Grigorievich Korzun.
The purpose of the new lesson is the memory, the memory of the victories of our compatriots, the memory of the history of the development of the rocket and space industry, the memory of the history of manned astronautics. And don't think too loud. The history of our country's victories should be passed on from generation to generation and, the main link in this transfer should be the school, educational institutions... In the official appearance of the lesson, employees of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation actively worked with us.
I want to thank everyone who took part in the process. We did a great job together. Astronauts are ready to meet with children, write video messages for them, participate in filming documentaries about the achievements of the industry, conduct experiments, lessons in physics, astronomy, ecology, provide for lessons unique archive photos, videos, audio materials stored with each of us.

Widow and son of Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Petrovich Artyukhin, widow of Heroes of the Soviet Union Belyaev, Vasyutin, Berezovoy, Twice Hero of the Soviet Union Malyshev.
Heroes of the Russian Federation, pilot-cosmonauts of the Russian Federation Vasily Tsibliev, Yuri Gidzenko, Yuri Onufrienko, Valery Korzun, Genaddy Padalka, Sergei Zaletin, Valery Tokarev, Salizhan Sharipov, Oleg Kotov, Sergei Volkov and others. All have great-grandchildren, grandchildren, children. Everyone is studying at our school. For the children of Star City, the profession of an astronaut is, first of all, a serious, responsible work of fathers, grandfathers, relatives and friends, neighbors. With the diligence of the teaching staff, our school has raised two Heroes of the Russian Federation, cosmonauts from the space dynasties Romanenko and Volkov. Today their children, the children of the Skvortsov dynasty of pilot-cosmonauts, study at our school. The archives of the school store the compositions of the first students on the topic: "My parents knew Gagarin." Today's students, traditionally, will write: "My grandparents knew Gagarin"
- How often do astronauts go to schools?
Often. And in schools, and in summer health camps, and in orphanages and boarding schools. Roman Romanenko and Sergei Volkov meet regularly with the students of their native school, bring memorable souvenirs for the school museum from long business trips to the ISS. This year, as part of the Gagarin lesson, we will visit and Kindergarten in Zvezdny. After all, the lessons will be held throughout the general education system.
- Does the Cosmonaut Training Center help schools from the regions with materials?
Methodological materials for preparing lessons have already been posted on the official website of the Cosmonaut Training Center in the Cosmocenter and Multimedia sections. The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation also proposed to use the materials and capabilities of local museums, cultural and educational centers, libraries. The lesson, in our opinion, should consist of two parts. The first part - Yuri Gagarin, the history of space exploration. The second is modern cosmonautics, its development, the achievements of the rocket and space industry. Annually, on April 1, we will update the news part of the lesson about the achievements of the rocket and space industry, about manned space exploration, add to the historical archival documents. Films of the Roskosmos TV studio are recommended for preparation for lessons.

Video material for children with special development, but with dreams and emotions worthy of space heights will be posted on the official website of the Cosmonaut Training Center in the "Space Center" section. It was prepared by the pupils of grade 2B of the V. Komarov school, and conducted by the teacher Svetlana Isaeva and Lenochka, a student of 2B, studying under the inclusive education program. In general, language teachers are also involved in the process (our school with in-depth study of English language) and physical culture... No one is indifferent.
- Everyone is interested in what universities the children and grandchildren of our cosmonauts go to?
The children and grandchildren of our cosmonauts, as far as I know, choose the most different universities, but worthy and exclusively Russian.
Will space dynasties develop? Today everyone knows the cosmonauts Skvortsovs, Volkovs, Romanenko ...
Of course, I would very much like the space dynasties to continue. But, astronauts are born not only in space families. My parents are geologists, and since childhood I dreamed of space. Talented boys and girls with good health and a thirst for knowledge have every opportunity to join us in the cosmonaut corps of Roscosmos. You just need to strive very much for it and want it very much. And, most importantly, to know - everything will work out.
