Gagarin was born on March 9th 1934, in a small village called Klushino , near Gzhatsk . Today this town is called Gagarin after the first Russian cosmonaut. His family was neither rich nor famous. Gagarin’s father was a humble worker and his mum was a milkmaid. Apart from Yuri, there were three other children in the family.
