At the funeral of Yuri Gagarin —- we see Leonid Brezhnev and Andriyan Nikolayev carrying his casket. I can’t help but tear up looking at images such as this, heroes live forever and Gagarin lives forever in my heart.

 ”…The vertushka telephone. You’ll notice its lack of a rotary dial–-not a bug, but a feature. If you owned a vertushka, it meant that you didn’t need to call anyone–- people called you. It’s a great illustration how the lack of a feature becomes a cultural signifier. Apple has used this enforced, almost gratuitous minimalism to great effect. And doesn’t that vertrushka look a bit like an iPod classic?”
—Eugene Parnell, on this Soviet-era phone.
