Pro-Conspiracy Arguments

The Judica-Cordiglia brothers were Italian amateur radio operators that recorded space communication from both the U.S.S.R and the U.S. They recorded what sounded like a female cosmonaut complaining about the increasing temperature of her surroundings and that she might crash just before cutting out with a final scream.

Robert Heinlein wrote in an article called "Pravda" (means "Truth") that on May 15, 1960, while traveling in Vilnius he was told by Red Army cadets that the Soviet Union had launched a man into space that day.

1962,Colonel Pyotr Dolgov. Dolgov parachuted from a balloon at almost 94,000 feet but didn’t survive; he hit the visor of his helmet while jumping from the balloon gondola and his suit depressurized, killing him. He was apart of an unknown launch.
Anti-Conspiracy Arguments

There is no physical evidence of pods, ships, or any kind of space equipment from the unreported launches.

James Oberg, a space historian, wrote a book based on his investigations into all of these stories of lost cosmonauts. His conclusions were that there was insufficient evidence available to prove any of the lost cosmonauts having ever taken space flights.

During the times of the Morse code and the lost cosmonautst's alleged breathing and heartbeat sounds, the Soviets were still launching dogs and mannequins. A few days after the Morse code recording, Sputnik 6 carrying two dogs was deliberately self-destructed upon a failed re-entry.
Yuri Gagarin
On 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space when he launched into orbit on the Vostok 3KA-3 spacecraft (Vostok 1).
He is the only Cosmonaut to be on the official USSR Space record.
