Georgy Beregovoy

Soviet cosmonaut (1921-1995)

Georgy Beregovoy is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Georgy Beregovoy as Soviet cosmonaut (1921-1995).

Georgy Beregovoy was born at Fedorivka in 1921. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union. He was educated at Gagarin Air Force Academy.

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 politician.

Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.

His recorded fields of work are aerial warfare and astronautics.

His work was formally recognised with the Hero of the Soviet Union, Order of Lenin and Order of the Red Banner.

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

Georgy Beregovoy died in 1995 at the age of 74. The work outlived the arguments around it.
