on November 3, 1957,
The Soviets have astonished the world by sending a satellite into orbit around the Earth for the second time in a month.
Sputnik 2.
(Sputnik had done so earlier, on October 4)
………………………………………..
The West is in shock.
The Russians are ahead of the Americans in technology.
………………………………………..
The first satellite, Sputnik, was unmanned
The second one, however, had a little dog as a passenger
Laika.
………………………………………..
Laika becomes the most famous dog on the planet,
although he died inside the cabin 6 hours after launch….
(Officially, the USSR blamed it on poison in her food)
Westerners said it was due to heat and dehydration
(perhaps due to a lack of oxygen…)
………………………………………..
Be that as it may, Laika became the first living organism to enter Earth’s orbit, and she went down in history.
………………………………………..
The Russians honored her by erecting a monument and issuing a postage stamp in her honor
………………………………………..
American propaganda, in an attempt to offset the shock and the blow to its prestige, relies on the pro-animal sentiments of Western public opinion.
They accuse the Russians of torturing the little dog and causing its death.
...............................................................
Mass demonstrations are being held in London.
From that time on, the British were the Americans' best friends in Europe.
...............................................................
animal welfare organizations,
schools,
universities,
associations,
and ladies of English high society,
They take to the streets in a rage against the heartless and murderous Russians.
...............................................................
Of course, six months before the protests in London,
The British colonialists had publicly hanged people in the squares of Nicosia to set an example,
dozens of Cypriot independence fighters, convicted by British military courts.
...............................................................
Cyprus was under British occupation at that time.
public prosecutor
-that is, the prosecutor- of the British Crown
He was a Turkish Cypriot lawyer….
His name?;
Rauf Denktash.
(Rauf Denktash was the first president of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus)
For years, we heard him on the news as the leader of the pseudo-state…
«Denktash's pseudo-state»
