Fyodor Yurchikhin

Russian cosmonaut

Fyodor Yurchikhin is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Fyodor Yurchikhin as Russian cosmonaut.

Fyodor Yurchikhin was born at Batumi in 1959. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Moscow Aviation Institute.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

Fyodor Yurchikhin is described as engineer, astronaut and economist.

The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.

His work was formally recognised with the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland", 4th class, Order of Friendship and Hero of the Russian Federation.

Working from Russia shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Fyodor Yurchikhin is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
