This is probably the first article that was published in polish newspapers informing about the plane crash. Note typical for that time certain way of writing political expressions that sound like gibberish. It’s hard to say when it was published exactly – probably a good number of days after 27th of March. Probably in April. It would also seem that they couldn’t decide how to write ‘Sieregin’.
Yuri Gagarin was born on 9 March 1934. April 12, 1961 was the year the spaceship “Vostok I” made the first spaceflight in the world reaching Earth’s orbit (apogee 327 km, perigee 175 km) and landing on the designated territory of the USSR (around the village Smielovka in Saratov Oblast). Flight lasted 108 minutes at a speed of 28 thousand kilometers per hour. During his first journey to Space, Gagarin flew 40 thousand kilometers.
MOSCOW (PAP). – The Central Committee of the CPSU and the USSR Council of Ministers formed a government commission to clarify the circumstances of the tragic death of the world’s first cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin and colonel Sieregin who both lost their lives in the crash during flight training.

I’m not sure if this part was below the article or is from a completely different source. It might have been included below main text which sounds like it was translated from official soviet document to make it up to date.
