Aleksey Ovchinin

Russian cosmonaut

The record lists Aleksey Ovchinin as Russian cosmonaut.

Aleksey Ovchinin was born at Rybinsk in 1971. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Yeysk Higher Military Aviation Institute.

Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.

His work was formally recognised with the Medal "For Military Valour", 2nd class, medal for distinguished military service and Hero of the Russian Federation.

That the work was done from Russia matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
