In the history of technology, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Volkov is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Volkov as Soviet cosmonaut.
Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Volkov was born at Horlivka in 1948. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as aircraft pilot, astronaut and test pilot.
Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Commander of the Legion of Honour.
That the work was done from the Soviet Union matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
