Special cancellation for 50 years of landing, issued by Krasny Kut. Krasny Kut (ukr – Beautiful Corner) is a small town near Saratov in Southern Russia, was the place of Titov landing and now holding memorial and museum. Museum rubber cancellation is in blue. G&G (GeoGraf) publishing house issued a cover to commemorate 50 years of Titov flight, as part of Space Fleet Ships series, featuring Morzhoverz tracking ship. The controversy is that Morzhovets had nothing to do with Vostok-2 flight, as it was commissioned at 1967 - part of the 3rd batch of command-control-complex vessels (rus – KIK). Last but not the least is the ISS covers with Titov stamp for 25-26 expeditions. I don't know any dedicated Titov cancellation from ISS, but the fact the stamp is present on the cover is quite unusual, as mostly you can find Gagarin and Baykonur stamps on the board covers in 2011.
