Valery Korzun is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Valery Korzun as Russian cosmonaut.
Valery Korzun was born at Krasny Sulin in 1953. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Kacha Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
Valery Korzun is described as aircraft pilot, astronaut and test cosmonaut.
The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
Formal recognition came in the shape of the Knight of the Legion of Honour.
Working from Russia shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Valery Korzun is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
