"You never thought I'd be in this position huh..."

I don't want to be that guy but the Soviets didn't just shoot Gagarin into space because they wanted to research it. They knew they couldn't compete with Americas bomber fleet and did not have suitable atomic bombers to keep up a nuclear deterrence. So they developed intercontinental rockets. The proposal to launch a Satellite was made my Korolev who sold it to the military as an inevitable stage of ICBM development. The USSR announced their intention to launch an artifical sattelite publictly in 1955, four days after the US had made the same announcement. So just like in the US, the Soviet satellite program was closely linked to the nuclear arms race and just like in the USSR, the US had announced intentions for peaceful space exploration.
