Question

Supposed recordings of these people dying were produced by the Judica-Cordiglia brothers. A song about “Apple Blossoms” in a certain location was inspired by these people, who were the subject of the song “Glory to Those Who Look Forward.” A propaganda poster depicts (15[1])one of these people above the message “There’s no God.” One photograph depicts the incinerated body of one of these people (-5[1])who died (-5[1])as part of a program called “Union.” One of these people was called the “Last Citizen” due to working on (*) Mir while his country was dissolved. Shortly after the completion of a facility at Baikonur, Valentina Tereshkova became the first female one of these people. Soyuz 1 was controlled (10[1])by these people and succeeded Vostok 1, which Yuri Gagarin piloted. For 10 points, name these Soviet astronauts. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: cosmonauts [accept Soviet astronauts until read; accept Russian astronauts until “Soviet” is read; prompt on astronauts] (The song in the second line is “And on Mars, there will be Apple Blossoms.” The incinerated body is of Vladimir Komarov, who was the first person to die in a space flight.)
