Hard to take it seriously when some of the articles linked on that page have headlines like "Dog gives birth to ugly mutant creature" and "Aliens caught on tape for the first time." Weekly World News called, they want their articles back.
See http://www.lostcosmonauts.com/ http://www.lostcosmonauts.com/ for less tabloidy information.
- danohuiginn 19y agoTrue or not, this is a persistent rumour, going all the way back to the 60s. Wikipedia, naturally, has the full rundown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_space_program_conspiracy_accusations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_space_program_conspiracy...). But in brief: this is just one of a range cosmonaut conspiracy theories which put the 'moon landings were faked' crowd to shame. They're also much more widely believed than their US counterparts (not without reason). This one maybe not so much - but a decent percentage of Russians believe Yuri Gagarin was bumped off by the authorities. Also, if you hadn't noticed, the article's from way back in 2001.
