Is that sour cream in the soup on the top right... or mashed potatoe?

I always like to point out that the first woman in space was chosen in part because she had experience parachuting (as the space capsule at that time required you to bail out and parachute down on your own). Where did she get experience parachuting? In an "Aero Club" in Yaroslavl, which she joined while employed as a textile worker.
In the USSR women were forced to parachute out of planes even if what they really wanted to do was work another shift in the textile plant.
