On April 12, 1961, the Soviet Union begins its countdown. From the steppes of Kazakhstan, the first human - Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin - launches into space.

In that moment, another countdown begins. How could it be that a single generation - just three decades - would separate the USSR's crowning achievement from the collapse of the Soviet empire?

More than a history lesson, The Dark Side of the Earth is a testament to the enduring fight for truth and freedom. In pursuit of the real story, renowned Kremlin opponent Mikhail Zygar ('one of Russia's smartest and best-sourced young journalists' - New York Times) gathered witness statements of jaw-dropping candour from hundreds of key players: the last first secretaries and first presidents of the post-Soviet republics, the leaders of independence movements, Western politicians and diplomats, and Mikhail Gorbachev himself, not to mention dozens of scientists, authors, film directors, aspiring rockstars and ordinary men and women who for a time became the accidental protagonists of history.

The end of the USSR set the stage for today's vengeful return. But as Gagarin looked down from the stars at his home world, was Russia's fate already written?

Not a bad option
Size: Large (Pack of 1)
I have a 60lb shepherd that i got this for that likes to have an "emotional support" ball everywhere she goes. After losing her old one, I went on Amazon to buy her a new rope ball. My dog likes to chew on her toys and play tug, so I knew I needed something that could handle both. After buying this, I noticed that the orange rubber would break off and the rope would come undone when she picked at it. After a few months the rubber near the rope stated tearing and the rope popped out. It's not a bad toy for dogs, but it's not very well made either. I'll opt for something sturdier next time

My dog simply loves this toy!
Size: Large (Pack of 1)
A simple concept expertly manufactured. Sturdy and durable, this toy will give your aggressive chewer hours of pleasure be it playing tug with her owner or fetching repeatedly. Made to last which is important! This toy gets two paws up from this dog owner. Hours of distraction and fun for all. A classic novelty!

Nice quality! BF approved.
Size: 9, Color: Olive
I got these for my boyfriend and he loves them. The color green is really nice and the quality is really good. I would recommend doing a waterproof/weather treatment to them if you plan to wear them outside. His got water marks on them already and I didn't treat them. Important note: If you have narrow feet these will work great, but if you have wide feet it might be an issue. They are true to size.
