It was only due to his abilities and drive that their space program ever got off the ground. BTW, so important was he to the Soviet space program that after he died in 1966, that program pretty much fell apart.

Contrary to many who didn’t give “First Man” a chance because it didn’t focus on the planting of the American Flag on the moon, I didn’t see it as critical to the film...It highlights that the Space Race was an American project beginning to end...It’s just that the story was focused on Neil Armstrong as a biography.
I even appreciated that they minimized external shots of spacecraft to focus on the astronaut perspective during launches and landings. I also thought Ryan Gosling captured Armstrong’s almost casual stoicism well.
If Gagarin was made with the same effort at biographical detail and is similarly light on propaganda, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it.
