Looks more like Ч = ch, so it is saying Churi's night... Ilyak 13:25, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I agree that Cosmonautics Day should be merged into Yuri's Night. The Russian festival is obviously a sub-set of the internationally celebrated event. 82.16.6.88 (talk) 21:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * A quote :The first Yuri's Night was held on 12 April 2001, but its counterpart, known as Cosmonautics Day (Russian: День Космонавтики), was established in the Soviet Union in 1962. Clearly it is not a subset of this event. (Igny (talk) 13:22, 13 September 2009 (UTC))


 * Yuri's Night should not be merged with Cosmonautics Day. The latter is a much older and very different type of event as stated in the articles.  Having mention of the alternate event within the other's page seems appropriate, in both cases.  Yuri's Night is also a celebration of the 1981 launch of the first Space Shuttle/STS, which is unrelated to Cosmonautics Day.  There is a large difference between the age and scope of the events.

 * Agree with merger. It is clearly a direct, international expansion of Cosmonautics Day and only differing by added the Shuttle flight. The fact that it is on the same date and is about the same person and event is more relevant than the date Yuri's Night actually began. Besides, Yuri's Night is a small annual event on the lines of a private party but with an umbrella promotion of other same-themed private parties. Plutonium27 (talk) 18:41, 12 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Yuri's Night has nothing to do with Cosmonautics Day, articles has to be interlinked (like “other events of this day”), but not merged. Cosmonautics Day is official celebrating day in Russia and formerly in USSR.

Gagarin's popularity in Ukraine is unknown; this article should not say otherwise based on SYNTH-journalism
I just removed from the article a large chunk about supposedly Gagarin's current popularity in Ukraine all based on one source.This source is misleading: one 2011 Ukraine stamp and 2 social media post by Ukrainian universities + plus an unknown number of fans of a minor football club calling their stadium "Gagarin" does not say anything about Gagarin's current popularity in Ukraine. The fact that Gagarin liked Kyiv (or was just being polite about it) says even less about Gagarin's current popularity in Ukraine. Even more troublesome: the source looks SYNTH and to me looks written by an author who wants Gagarin to be liked in Ukraine for a reason I don't know... Anyway, a real recent opinion poll about Yuri Gagarin's popularity will reveal his popularity in Ukraine. Until there is one, his current popularity in Ukraine is unknown. —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  21:42, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Something that might (emphases on "might") say something about Gagarin's current popularity in Ukraine is that in Eastern Ukraine's Kharkiv region's Krasnohrad they have renamed their Gagarin Street and in Kyiv they have renamed their Gagarin Street too. There is currently a campaign of demolition of monuments to Alexander Pushkin in Ukraine going on. It will not surprise me if Gagarin is next to be removed from Ukrainian city scapes. —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  21:55, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
