With a photo exhibition and validation of a post stamp with the image of the first Bulgarian cosmonaut Georgi Ivanov, the 40th anniversary of his flight in space has been marked. The celebration included cosmonauts from 5 European countries: Pavel Vinogradov - Russia; Vladimir Remek - Czech Republic; Mirosław Hermaszewski - Poland; Bertalan Farkas - Hungary and Ivan Bella - Slovakia.
