Comrades, the persistent rumor that Laika the Space Dog escaped from Sputnik 2—and the Soviet Union—back in 1957, and that she's been living secretly in Argentina, has finally been quashed.
Among thousands of documents recently declassified and dumped on the public by the Central Interference Agency (CIA), researchers found one proving that the KGB and GRU fabricated the Laika rumor to mislead the CIA into wasting valuable resources on a multi-year wild goose chase to apprehend Laika on charges of illegal atmospheric entry, evading justice and acting as an agent of the Soviet Union.
The document details Laika’s movements in South America as reported by unreliable planted sources who were part of the Soviet deception operation and who indicated that Laika had allied herself with Nazi fugitives and finally settled down somewhere in Argentina.
In 1963, the CIA concluded that the information was bogus, the dog in the photo was a random mutt living on the farm of an elderly, indigent, native-Argentinian crop farmer, and the investigation was halted.
Not satisfied with the antique CIA report or the low-res photostat of the alleged Laika, The People’s Cube sent a private investigator to South America.He found the original photo tucked away in the bottom drawer of a bedroom on a farm near Nohayfugitivosalemanesaquí, Argentina.
The elderly farmer told him he’d heard the rumor but insisted that his dog, Ladrare, was just some mongrel wandering in the dental floss bushes near his sauerkraut grove in 1957. "I fed her some leftover blütwürst and she never left," he said.
After viewing his photo, we see nothing that would make us doubt Señor Itlerodriguez's story.
The cruel rumor is false and we're pleased to know that Laika is still high above the sky, orbiting our globe eternally and sending us psychic messages that The Glorious World of Next Tuesday is only one more Tuesday away.
