Слава Впередсмотрящему! - Glory to the Ones Who Look Forward! (Lyrics)

An inspiring tune from the early 1960's Soviet Union composed by Alexandra Pakhmutova, a Soviet composer responsible for multiple similar pieces within this time period. This particular version was sung by Josef Kobzon, a Ukrainian singer hailing from Donetsk Oblast.

The last three art pieces within this video was by Andrey Sokolov, a Soviet stamp maker and painter, while the first one was by Alexei Leonov, a former Soviet cosmonaut.

尤里加加林不仅是苏联的英雄更是全人类的英雄。
Юрий гагарин был не только героем советского союза, но и героем всего человечества.

[KoszmarSrzs]

О чем пели тогда, и о чем сейчас... В какую яму человечество себя окунуло...
"Мы грёзым друг друга, стремясь стать зверьми"...

[cyperx]

Never give up on the dream of a better future world. OUR world!

Where's Africa? - that's Africa 🌍
Where's America? - that's America 🌎
Where's USSR? In space, comrade.

-Ключ на дренаж!
-Есть дренаж!
-Кетр я Заря 1, зажигание!
-Понял вас, даётся зажигание.

-Желаю вам доброго полёта!
-Я Заря 1, мы все желаем вам доброго полёта, всё нормально?
-ПОЕХАЛИ!

I could be wrong, but the first painting (and the thumbnail) is a paiting by Alexei Leonov, one of the first people to go to space. He's also drawn the first sketch ever drawn outside earth (a sketch from his view of the earth).

[Galaxy-oynj]

Happy 62nd anniversary of the first manned spaceflight! Glory to Gagarin! Glory to the USSR!

[Galaxy-oynj]

This music perfectly fits its lyrics. Pushing the limits, working hard for a better future of the entire mankind!

[AkiKii]

first time I hear this song. it's beautiful.
why is it SSSR to give such respect to pioneers? more should be like this.

[Greyhuskey]

I've always wondered just how soviet/Russian/socialist, communistic music seems to have the best chorus, orchestral vocals in the world...anyone know the answer?

[Omegathyst]

Per aspera ad astra, and glory to the ones who look forward! Long live the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics! Slava Sovetskiy Soyuz!

Dissolution of the USSR was the most dangerous geopolitical event of 20th century. World Wars are nothing compared to what this can bring. If the American influence leads the world into a unipolar state, we are head to head with absolutistic intergovernmental dictatorship which is going to haunt us for many, many centuries. And for those who take this as a hyperbole should consider that we are talking about the top priority of American external policy - a unipolar world. The rise of terrorism, resistance to the dictatorship and general social unrest may culminate in a wide specter of situations of which the worst include human extinction. And from east global dictatorship also can come. Either the conflict of influences between China, Russia and the United States is going to stop or World War lll is an element of immiment future.

All day, I've been regretting, but this songs message inspires me to look forward.

[lars]

With the illegal dissolution of the Soviet Union, we lost our most pioneering cosmic explorers and all the potential there was in international cooperation in the final frontier that would objectively benefit mankind. My hope is that future socialist countries in the third world will one day be prosperous enough to one day start their own space programs.

[mineirobr]

A new year and i need to keep looking foward!

[OFN-]

Strange that nobody yet said about Zhdanov from TNO with his Ultravisionary thoughts

[kickright]

Будет путь наш легендарен
В марше завтрашних годов
Каждый станет как Гагарин,
Каждый станет как Титов!

[Vaskovich.]

I'm escaping to the ONE place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism! SPACE!
