The atmosphere was electric as attendees, including over 70 Zambian youths, filled the halls of the Lusaka National Museum with applause during key moments of the film. The event also featured the engaging Russian initiative "Space Dictation," where participants listened to a text crafted by Russian intellectual Anatoly Wasserman and selected correct answers from multiple options. Excitement filled the air as attendees had the chance to explore the photo exhibition "Our Gagarin: The First Cosmonaut of the Earth," curated at the Lusaka National Museum. Guided by members of the Russian House team, participants delved into the remarkable achievements of Soviet and Russian science in the field of cosmonautics.
