[PW] Re: ?Yuri Gagarin's brother

[Sten Thaning]

If I search on "Jurij Gagarin", I get this page.

My German is almost non-existant, but I think this means he had a brother 
named Boris and a sister named Zoya.

"Jurij Gagarin wurde 1934 auf einem Bauernhof geboren. Dort erlebte er mit 
Bruder Boris, Schwester Zoya, Vater Alexej und Mutter Anna den Zweiten 
Weltkrieg und die Besatzung seiner Heimat durch die Deutschen."
