Grigori Nelyubov made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Grigori Nelyubov as Ukrainian soviet pilot & cosmonaut (1934–1966).
Grigori Nelyubov was born at Porfirivka in 1934. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union. He was educated at Yeysk Higher Military Aviation Institute.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as explorer and aircraft pilot.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
His work was formally recognised with the Order of the Red Star, Jubilee Medal "Twenty Years of Victory in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945" and Jubilee Medal "40 Years of the Armed Forces of the USSR".
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.
Grigori Nelyubov died in 1966, aged 32. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
