Who to report?

With the first flight of Gagarin was a tradition, according to which the Secretary-General welcomed the astronauts on the red square for the gala of the latest report on the progress of the operation.

After landing ‘Sunrise” on Board with Vladimir Komarov N. Khrushchev had been removed from power, who read the report is unknown.

But Vladimir, being of the opposite squad, persuaded the management at the time of treatment Grechko allow him to read lectures at the cosmonaut training centre and after complete recovery to return to training for space flight.
