The first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin had two daughters. Elena is the eldest daughter of Gagarin.
Elena Gagarina was born on April 17, 1959 in the city of Zapolyarnoye. She has a younger sister Galina. From childhood, Elena was fond of various sports, she loved outdoor activities. The girl graduated from school with a gold medal. Her main passion in life was art, with which she connected her activities.
Career path
After graduation, Elena entered the Moscow State University at the Faculty of History. She enjoyed studying art history with great pleasure. Perhaps this addiction was passed on to her from her father.
She remembered with what interest he knew, and then told her daughters the history of the cities he visited. Elena, like Yuri Gagarin, loved to get new knowledge. The father always dreamed that his daughters received a worthy education.
After completing her studies at the university, Elena went to work at the Pushkin Museum. 20 years the woman gave to this place. But then I realized that in the museum she had exhausted her resources. The woman did everything for her that she could, but she wanted more. Elena needed a career growth.
In 2001, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the famous Gagarin family. Just on this day, it was exactly 40 years since the first astronaut crossed the borders of our Earth. On April 12, by decree of Vladimir Putin, Elena became the general director of the Moscow Kremlin Museum.
Elena received a degree in art history. A woman is completely dissolved in this matter. Art fills her whole life.
