To celebrate Yuri's (Gagarin) Night (April 12, 1961) here is an interesting space-related issue of a Russian popular youth science magazine. It tried to compare the Russian visions of space flight in the 50s and 60s with that of 1973.
The title of the magazine is roughly: ТЕХНИКА МОЛОДЕЖИ = YOUTH TECHNOLOGY Issue 4, 1973
Suspiciously similar to American designs for the space shuttle, almost identical in shape! A bit like the Buran shuttle was too!
