The Soyuz is the world's longest-serving manned space capsule. An
early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into
space in 1961.

What rubbish. The only way it's related to Vostok is through the
evolution
of the launch vehicle; the spacecraft are completely different.

Actually Soyuz is 3rd generation after Vostok. There was Voshod in between.
