It says (to the best of my abilities):
Soviet scientific glory!
Glory (of the) Soviet Man, (the) first Cosmonaut!

You requested a translation of that propaganda poster:
"Glory to the Soviet science!
Glory to a Soviet man - the first cosmonaut!"
Another similar poster, with Lenin quote "you are on the right path, comrades!" was once affixed to the roof of sexual deviants' ward in a mental hospital, and was visible from the street outside, to the general merriment.
