FLY – Igor Kirillov, a well-known journalist and host of Soviet TV known worldwide as the face and voice of the USSR, died at the age of 89. It was he who recounted, in a calm and firm voice, Sputnik’s first journey into space. And, remember the Bbc, all major events, from parades on Red Square to Communist Party congresses to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
