Sergei Zalyotin

Russian cosmonaut

Sergei Zalyotin made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.

The record lists Sergei Zalyotin as Russian cosmonaut.

Sergei Zalyotin was born at Shchekino in 1962. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Borisoglebsk Higher Aviators School.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

The record gives his occupations as aircraft pilot, astronaut and military personnel.

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

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

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

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