Space foundation removed Yuri Gagarin's name from regular event and called it A Celebration of Space instead. The move has been condemned as a 'war against history'. Yuri’s Night in the Space Symposium was renamed to Celebrate Human Achievements, erasing Yuri Gagarin from the event to feed the Russophobia planted by the West. Sanctions were imposed on Russia after it initiated a special operation in Ukraine, and they were not limited to banking and commercial restrictions. Along with living and long-dead artists, numerous competitions have enforced vengeful bans to ensure that nothing Russian escapes punishment, including cats and trees.  The Space Foundation, an American non-profit organization created in 1983, has renamed its Yuri's Night fundraiser "in light of current world events."  The original title was a tribute to the first man to journey into space, famous Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.   “The focus of this fundraising event remains the same — to celebrate human achievements in space while inspiring the next generation to reach for the stars,” the Foundation reportedly explained in a statement.   The message was later deleted, but the official name of the event was changed to “A Celebration of Space: Discover What’s Next.”
