I'm not very knowledgeable on the theory but I do remember reading that Trotsky was the proponent of the continuing revolution. I think he may have envisaged a socialist world, not sure of that though. I find myself blaming Stalin and the Stalnists, but that, I have to admit, may be far too easy.

Oh and just in case anyone cares. Gagarin is still remembered in popular music.

The UK band Prefab Sprout celebrate Gagarin in their song "Weightless" which was on their "Andromeda Heights" CD.
