("If you mean the first one launched, It was named "Sputnik 1".) Here we go again... NO It Wasn't! The first Spacecraft with a human to go into space was the Russian Satellite called 'Vostok', or 'Vostok 3KA'. 'Sputink', is the Russian word for 'Satellite', it was NOT the Name of the spacecraft. imagine if every Russian called 'Apollo 18' ... 'Satilite' with a heavy russian accent... DRrr Not. Now to address the question, name of a russian spaceship? there are many...
The word sputnik originates from is russia.
Before Sputnik, America was in a "battle" with Russia on space flight. America wanted to be the first in space, on the moon, and have the first satellite orbit the Earth. - When Sputnik (Russian Satellite) went into space, tension was created by which we had lost part of the Space Race. It put Russia ahead of America in the Space Race.
Russia went the deapest into Germany then any other country in WW 1. But in 1917 when the Russian Revolution started Russia had to leave the war.
