- Description:
- In this series of WSB-TV news clips, probably from between August and December, 1960, Russian space dogs Belka and Strelka are displayed at a press event, probably in the Soviet Union.
The first clip shows a large building with a fountain outside.
In the next clip, a number of reporters, all or most of whom appear to be white, are gathered in a large room, probably inside the building.
The next clip shows an unidentified white woman carrying Belka and Strelka, two dogs who went into space on Sputnik 5 and returned safely, through the crowd and sitting down with them.
In the next clip, an unidentified white male photographer is apparently photographing the woman and the dogs.
The next clips show the woman and the dog joined by Soviet space program scientist O.G. Gazenko. The dogs are placed on a table or other elevated surface. Gazenko lifts Strelka into the air. The woman lifts and holds both dogs briefly, then returns them to the tabletop.
In the next clip, numerous reporters and photographers are seen.
The final clip shows Gazenko holding both dogs in the air.
