I'm not a speaker of Russian so I don't know myself, but in one of his articles James Oberg says that although 'Vostok' was translated in the West as 'East', a better meaning is 'the direction of Sunrise', more closely equivalent to the word 'Orient'. 'Vostok' and 'Voskhod' obviously derive from the same root, the suffix '-hod' just is an indication of movement, therefore 'Sunrise'. CFLeon ( talk) 19:56, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
