Vladimir Lyakhov belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Vladimir Lyakhov as Soviet cosmonaut (1941–2018).
Vladimir Lyakhov was born at Antratsyt in 1941. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union. He was educated at Gagarin Air Force Academy.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
Vladimir Lyakhov is described as aircraft pilot and astronaut.
The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His work was formally recognised with the Order of Lenin, Order of the October Revolution and Pilot-Cosmonaut 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.
Death came in 2018, at 77. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
