There's definitely something wrong with the picture, where a small part of reward is taken as a proof of something. For a single flight Gagarin got more than $100k in today's money, plus a house, a car and some clothing including underwear which was more like a supply than a reward.

There is definitely something wrong with a picture where several pairs of underwear are listed together with a car, house, etc., as a reward (yes, reward) for extraordinary achievement. The other problem being, of course, that whether you were given $100K, or a million, you couldn't really go buy a car or a house anyway. And, apparently, underwear or a decent coat either.
