Vitaly Zholobov belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Vitaly Zholobov as Soviet cosmonaut and Ukrainian politician.
Vitaly Zholobov was born at Stara Zburivka in 1937. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union. He was educated at Azerbaijan State Oil and Industrial University and V. I. Lenin Military-Political Academy.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as astronaut, politician and military personnel.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
His work was formally recognised with the Order of Lenin, Hero of the Soviet Union and Medal "For Distinction in Guarding the State Border of the USSR".
That the work was done from the Soviet Union matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
