In the history of technology, Yuri Shargin is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Yuri Shargin as Russian cosmonaut.
Yuri Shargin was born at Engels in 1960. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Mozhaysky Air Force Academy and Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces.
Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.
He worked as engineer, astronaut and military 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, Medal "For Merit in Space Exploration" and Pilot-Cosmonaut of the Russian Federation.
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.
Yuri Shargin is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
