The photo shows Nikita Khrushchev at the ceremonial reception of Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961, at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, a symbolic moment in Soviet history.
Scene: Nikita Khrushchev, the General Secretary of the CPSU, stands on the stage of the Bolshoi Theatre, possibly with outstretched arms or applauding, as he welcomes Gagarin.
Significance: Khrushchev uses the triumph politically to emphasize the superiority of the Soviet system and the progress of socialism.
