It’s stupid. Gagarin, Tchaikovsky, et al. and their achievements have nothing to do with anything going on today. What is next, burning all books by Tolstoy and Dostoevsky?
That form of virtue signaling is already happening in a way, an Italian university just removed Tolstoy & Dostoevsky from their reading list.
Probably, especially when you consider Dostoevsky’s comment about intelligent people being forcibly censored so as not to offend the imbeciles.
