Oleg Kotov belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Oleg Kotov as Russian cosmonaut.
Oleg Kotov was born at Simferopol in 1965. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at S. M. Kirov Military Medical Academy and Kacha Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots.
Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.
He worked as astronaut, physician and flight engineer.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
His work was formally recognised with the Hero of the Russian Federation, Order "For Merit to the Fatherland", 4th class and Order "For Merit to the Fatherland", 3rd class.
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.
Oleg Kotov is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
