Other Soviet Firsts;
First photo of the moon’s far side 1959
First Space Walk 1965
First Soft Landing on other celestial body (moon) 1966
First one-two-and three man capsule
Longest time in space 748 days
First woman in space 1962
First dog in space Laika (not the first monkey though that was Albert II US- Able the first to actually survive)
The first living organisms to go into space were fruit flies 1948, launched on a recovered German V2 Rocket (US)
They are credited by some for the first successful landing on another planet, Mars (Mars 3 - 1971) Though it likely achieved a soft landing, the lander stopped transmitting after 14.5 seconds and returned a partial image of no scientific value.
Just an FYI
