the majority of the authorities of the syrian arab republic and the baaz party, allegedly this played a decisive role to emphasize the unity of the nation. on july 22 , 1987, on the soyuz tm-3 spacecraft, he went to the mir station, together with the soviet cosmonauts viktorenko and aleksandrov, and almost immediately began to complain about... his well-being, space nutrition in tubes could not replace the traditional arab shawarma and falafel for him . his general physical condition was simply somewhat difficult in the sense that he was somewhat for several days, one might say, i felt discomfort within myself. the space program for the first syrian cosmonaut was not particularly difficult; it was necessary to photograph the territory of syria. and

the historical ruins of palmyra on the gde camera mkf6. the camera operates in six spectral zones and has high resolution. satellite images increase the efficiency of searching for minerals and help study the condition of the land. otherwise, it was political pr and a demonstration of the syrian flag in space. i i took with me damascus steel, syrian soil, i took photographs of my family, my children, more children’s toys, a figurine of a little man, a cow and a small plush heart. paris, in addition to his children’s toys, also took, of course, a portrait of his president, hafez al-assad, and we had it on board next to the portrait of gorbachev, our leader at that time.

in recent years, the hero of the soviet union and the first syrian cosmonaut mohammed faris has harshly criticized the russian authorities for supporting president bashar al-assad with a portrait of whose father hafez assad faris flew into space. i would like to thank all my compatriots, first of all our leader, president hafez al-assad, for the care he shows towards us. fled the country. it was a necessary measure, and i left syria; the closest country where i could go was turkey. i feel like a stone that was pulled out of its native place and taken to a foreign land. in turkey, faris joined the government in exile, became.

when my son learned on the news that the mir space station had been sunk, he was very i was very upset about this. previously, syria also had its own cosmonautics day; the syrian loon was honored on all tv channels.

in his opinion, he went to his istanbul, well, he’s a hero of the soviet union, but there’s no escape, he’s a hero of the syrian republic, but i don’t know how the syrian government treats him, i’m saying how we’ll communicate at all further with faris, they say, and also communicate, that is , we have no contraindications, in principle it is impossible to say, he is an enemy, not an enemy, a friend, or who he is, they can’t say anything at all. here's the story. there are many

refugees from syria in istanbul and faris remained very popular until his death. people often stopped him on the street to take pictures with him. he hoped that in exile his experience would be useful in preparing the first turkish cosmonaut to fly on elon musk’s rocket, but in turkey they did without his help. i still remember every moment of my flight, how we docked at the space station, and there are moments when i dream that i am still in orbit and flying in zero gravity.

the best of the best were sent into soviet space from the socialist countries, usually these were active military pilots with excellent and high intelligence. b52. the first pilot to shoot down a b-52 over hanoi, shooting down a b-52 is a very difficult task for the vietnamese air defense forces, but this is our vietnamese military art, which is a combination of old fighting traditions with modern military science. the b-52 crash showed that we can fight and are determined to win. during the so -called christmas bombings seventy-second year. a vietnamese pilot was able to approach a group of american aircraft from a distance of 2 km and fire two

heat-seeking missiles. after explosions on board the strategic bomber , the fighter turned sharply to the left and returned to the airfield. at the same moment famtouan. feeling, i looked at myself in the mirror, it seemed to me that i saw another person. vietnamese pilots trained for a year and a half, learned to survive during an emergency landing, and spent hours in icy water. training of vietnamese astronaut pham thuan

was somewhat shorter than the others, but with the help of viktor gorvatko, who already had space flight experience, they successfully prepared and completed their space flight. we flew into space immediately after the war with america. the soviet union provided us with enormous assistance in the war, thanks to which the vietnamese people won. but now we are flying into space together, clearly demonstrating the great friendship and solidarity of our two peoples in a new era, although this flight has little scientific significance, but its political significance is real. it is symbolic that yesterday’s fighter for the freedom of his homeland, who distinguished himself in battles with the american aggressors, who shot down the flying fortress b-52, is today engaged in peaceful

research work in space. in addition to surveying the territory of vietnam, for accurate cartography, pham thuan on the salyut 6 space station. the experiment was precisely to investigate how it behaves in space, whether it will also reproduce, and whether it is possible to grow in space are these algae used for food? fate was favorable to the first vietnamese cosmonaut; in his homeland he is still loved and celebrated as an eider. according to tradition, like all soviet cosmonauts, phan tuan, upon returning from orbit, became a hero of the soviet union. in the vietnamese army, he always held senior command positions, rose to the rank of lieutenant general, was the head of the defense industry in vietnam, and with the change in the country's economic course, the chairman

of a military commercial bank. now the astronaut is retired, nurses his grandchildren and writes memoirs. the first afghan cosmonaut ahad momad, who managed to fly on the soyuz tm-6 to the mir station, was popular with the pro-soviet government of najibul.

walked through those places that are still dear to his heart, when gagarin flew into space, i was a little boy living in a village, he flew to afghanistan in his speech he said that the day would come, soon, when an afghan would go into space, if someone had told me then that i would become the first afghan in space, i would not have believed it, because at that time it was impossible, at in the star city, where ahad trained for several months, he met with his crew commander, cosmonaut vladimir

lyakhov, where my ohanik, dear, come on, dear, i haven’t seen you for a thousand years, when the training of the afghan cosmonaut was in full swing, gorbachev made the decision to withdraw troops from afghanistan, it was necessary to send ahad into space before the last soviet soldier crossed the bridge of friendship across... zamudarya on august 29, 88, ahad momant went into space, and 5 months later his country flew into the abyss. in the midst civil war, ahad momant, who received a gold star from gorbachev, tried to fly to moscow, but...

germany, where he often recalled how space did not want to let him go to earth. due to problems with the engines, the crew risked remaining in orbit forever. it was turned on manually. turned off and tried again, turned off again, worked for a short time. the crew spent more than a day in limbo, without food or toilet, but vladimir lyakhov still managed to start the engines and return the descent module with the afghan astronaut to earth. indeed, we waited there for days, but it’s confusing. mohmand's hut into orbit, in his hometown.

of such satellites in the entire history of intercosmos , in the ninety-first year, after the collapse of the union

, 24 were launched, one of them was an unsuccessful launch vehicle from kapustin yar, the last intercosmos was 25, which flew in december of the ninety-first year, and this, in principle , was the end of the intercosmos program. in 1976, members of the intercosmos satellite program were invited to take part in manned flights of astronauts and the first to start from baikanur was the czech vladimir. 16 years and 11 months after yuri gagarin’s flight, the first international crew under the intercosmos program launched. remember how moscow welcomed yuri gagarin, its first cosmonaut, vladimir remek is welcomed by czechoslovakia. he made the flight together with alexey guborev. the union

began to attract capitalist countries to manned flights, demonstrating friendship and openness in the name of peaceful exploration of space, so an austrian, an englishman, a japanese and a representative of friendly india were in orbit. when we went to the store, this was 1982, before perestroika, there were huge lines for everything.

together with his backup, rake sharma, they were already at the baykanur and watched the start of the next alliance with vladimir titov and gennady strikalov on board. the next ship was supposed to fly a crew with a representative of india, but the unexpected happens. instead of the roar of engines there is silence, instead of a trail of fire there is a flame of fire. instead of a rocket, a two-hundred-ton fire. the launch vehicle explodes. see that the emergency ejection system was working, we

professional test pilots, such things should not take us out of... they dumped in the states, a black space conqueror was not allowed into orbit for 5 years. cuban arnalda tamai mendez and yuri romanenko launched into orbit on september 18 , 1980. in space, cosmonaut from the gdr zygmunt jn worked with a unique

german-developed camera that could photograph the earth in six different spectra. we... photographed the earth's surface using the mkf-6 camera. iff-6 was placed on salute 6, on which a german cosmonaut arrived and i worked with this assembly chamber of our station, that is, this is one of the experiments that turned out to be very expensive, because we still have no analogues - this mkf6 device. a multi-spectral photosystem mkf-6 and a joint raft are installed in a special photo compartment.

union and the warsaw bloc, all colors of the political spectrum went into disarray, and the gdr camera only impartially recorded how the berlin wall was collapsing. the new authorities tried to erase their cosmonauts from history, as if there was no space, joint flights into orbit - this is harmful communist propaganda. the only polish cosmonaut, general miroslaw hermaszewski, who at that time was the deputy commander of the rocket forces, was dismissed from the army by mail and was about to be deprived. awards, but germoszewski did not break down in spite of his opponents, he looked proudly into the sky, at night you look deep into space, this is no longer

an aesthetic enemy, phenomena of experience, but already philosophical questions appear, and where did you get to, and where are we people, and what about who created until his death in... germashevsky was faithful a friend of russia and an irreconcilable fighter against ukrainian nationalism. in the village of lipniki, where the future polish cosmonaut was born, bandera’s followers brutally killed almost 200 people during the volyn massacre. here in the photo is our neighbor without a head, it was cut off by the upa punitive forces, and my parents managed to escape from the village. i was one and a half years old at the time, my mother later told me that bandera’s men shot at her, she fell and dropped me somewhere in a field. but my father later found and warmed me up, i barely survived, the cosmonaut’s father, then bandera’s men still found and finished off, and burned the village to the ground, in that almost 20 of

miroslav’s relatives died in the massacre, germashevsky even took the soil from his native ashes with him into orbit, this is my relic, the mongolian cosmonaut gurakchash.

he is loved and respected in the country, and monuments are erected during his lifetime. general gurgacha was both a deputy of the great khural and the minister of defense of mongolia. all space relics , along with the descent capsule and spacesuit, have returned.

every time i visit the star city, i remember those times. star city is not only for me, but also for my family home. my son came to star city when he was 3 months old and returned when he was 3 years old. mongols and russians share warm memories and friendship. over the 13 years of existence of the intercosmos program. representatives of seventeen states visited orbit, for most of them this was the first and only opportunity to send their citizen into

space.

this is russia 24 and we continue to talk about the main thing for today first. may in europe was marked by tradition with riots, the most large-scale clashes in paris, demonstrators threw stones and fireworks at the police, and received tear gas in response. chronicles of may day by anastasia popova. traditional may day race of the french police. the task is to catch up with the ultra-left youth from the black bloc, who come to such demonstrations solely to destroy.
