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 one of these people above the message “There’s no God.” One photograph depicts the incinerated body of one of these people who died as part of a program called “Union.” One of these people was called the “Last Citizen” (-5[1])due to working on (*) Mir (10[1])while his country was dissolved. Shortly after the completion of a facility at Baikonur, (10[1])Valentina Tereshkova became the first female one of these people. Soyuz 1 was controlled by these people and succeeded Vostok 1, which Yuri Gagarin piloted. For 10 points, name these Soviet astronauts. ■END■ (10[1])

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.)
