[000:00:00;00] which was before even under sergei pavlovich korolev, this tradition consists of the following crews that go to baikonur before launching into space from moscow , in my opinion, no, first before departure, but we understand that they will very soon go to international space station. yes, and the tradition is that before they left moscow they had to come to the territory of the memorial house, the sergei pavlovich korolev museum, visit the house of sergei pavlovich korolev, sit on a bench, which is in the garden next to this house. and most importantly, above this bench on the tree hangs that same legendary horseshoe for good luck, which back in the day, and sergei pavlovich korolev found it in the yard and attached it there himself, and therefore i remember very well when you and your crew came to us and more than once.

and by the way, well, maybe, of course, i’ll take on such a mission, but on- from our uh , in my opinion, the very third flight, it was we who resumed this tradition of drinking tea in the house, because really uh sergei pavlovich korolev, just on the eve of gagarin’s start, came to the house where he was next door to the neighboring house, and came to visit. they drank tea with gagarin titov, it really went down in history and i’m very glad that the museum will support this tradition. we are happy to come. here are the crew skins. we were it was another such immersion in astronautics in history. that is , they saw real things that sergei pavlovich korolev lived, visited his house , heard a lot of interesting things from your colleagues and i know exactly. all this time they remember how such a good, kind, hospitable place where you always want to return. well, besides the traditions that are associated with the house of sergei pavlovich korolev, i also want to talk about

those that it seems to me that i will remember everything for the rest of my life once i was a-and for the return of the crew from the international space station along with the search and rescue team. i went to the kazakh steppe. it was a long road. and we spent the night in the steppe, and i remember, this is the morning. it was summer, and it was dawn and they gave us summary when it happens. uh, return of the crew. by the way, i can even say what kind of crew it was, and the commander of the ship was oleg kononenko, he flew with uh, the sanjak and with anne mcclain. and we met this crew. ahh, amazing, just something incredible. that is, it seems to me that the moment the rocket takes off is something that changes, uh, human perception. and here you are no longer just seeing off the cosmonauts. here you are meeting them , are you meeting them? it seems to me that this is always more pleasant, and i remember, it seems to me literally

there, minute by minute, this is the morning, when we understand that when everything will happen, everyone has already had breakfast, everyone is literally ready. here, there are only a few minutes left at home, a moment when it is absolutely transparent. uh, in the blue blue sky there should appear this black dot of a lander that is returning from space. that's when i tell, that is, a story. i always tell everyone that i allowed myself to, when i saw this point, i allowed myself not to forgive for a person who works in this industry. i see it was the sky nothing was transparent. and at this moment i see this point and say. listen, space really does exist, they are coming back. and it’s amazing this point is getting bigger more more at this moment there is absolutely such a very professional bustle on earth because everyone is going, going, going, all services are working. everything is very coordinated. there are blue birds , these cars, and they are lined up on the horizon

, all this is incredible. it is beautifully clear that the people who are working at this moment. they don't pay attention to it that way. i'm still there i traveled as representatives, or let’s say, the press of a brigade of a brigade of journalists, and i had the opportunity to also reflect on this topic. there is a special landing. people are approaching the descent module. there is a radiation check, one second, that is, everything is very clear. i'm surprised how many services work. this is instantaneous, i say, well-coordinated. this is probably the most correct word that describes the process, and when opening the apparatus, the astronauts appear. and at this moment it seems that something is happening miracle. well, then i tell you this as if you had never had anything to do with it or met anyone. bye. at least, i think that it’s there from the inside, of course, and everything is perceived in an even more amazing way. well

, from the outside it looks like this, but after 10 years of working in the museum. there were such meetings that i remember most of all. i cannot single out one person at once, because it would be incorrect in front of everyone else, and their cosmonauts and employees of the rocket and space industry with whom i had the opportunity communicate, because every meeting something new was born in me, something was brought in, but i have to answer this question. and i’ll probably tell you about, uh, several of my meetings with alexei arkhipovich lyonov, who came to the cosmonautics museum many times, who perceived this place as a kind of house, there was absolutely a feeling that he felt there, probably in the best sense, like at home and me. well, alexey arkhipovich leonov for the first time, when we had a shoot, i remember that there were some foreign journalists and alexey arkhipovich, and already somewhere at the fifth or sixth hour of filming. he continued , he was so energetic; naturally, he was already old, but he was very energetic; he was there giving some instructions

to the film crew. we continued this shooting and about 5-6 hours later our colleagues. uh, foreign journalists, they come up and say alexey arkhipovich. let's take a break and take a breather. we need lunch, we need to exhale a little. it’s difficult for us and here alexey arkhipovich gathers and says, so i worked for 20 years without lunch, and you won’t continue filming and we approximately now yes, about three companies are always 3 hours before uh, evening. they were still filming, indeed. there, it seems to me, they didn’t even bother to get some water, because that’s how it is for them. so, of course, i also remember the story of elixir arkhipovich. leonov e he loved to tell in detail about his spacewalk. uh, for those who don't know, you just don't spend it temporarily now. i would probably recommend watching the film time of the first, which tells the story in great detail. well, just let me remind you, that alexey arkhipovich leonov

had to return to the airlock chamber, as we remember , with his feet, and inside to the airlock chamber itself, in order to close the hatch behind him, because it would close automatically. yes, then no one had done it automatically, and he had to close it on his own, because no one could do it for him, we remember that due to the large number of emergency situations, many of which alexey arkhipovich managed, but he couldn’t managed with my feet. and he had to swim to get down head into the airlock chamber. and when you swim headfirst into the airlock chamber due to the fact that the spacesuit is very large . the spacesuit, by the way, its technological duplicate is in the museum of cosmonautics. you can see him in general, how he looked and because he is very large and this backpack at the back was impossible to just take and turn around and elixir arkhipovich. he releases the pressure in the suit, exposing his life, of course, to enormous risk, but at the same time he understands how much pressure can be reached in

the grass. yes, he turns around and closes this one hatch and beyond. that's when he told the whole story. he then made such a theatrical pause and spoke. and you know, what ’s most important, i understood. at that moment, it was as if everyone who was listening to him at that moment froze , trying to understand what i was telling you. i realized that you want to live smarter, spin smarter, brilliant daria, what projects are you proud of, which were, uh, the museum of cosmonautics. during your work, one of the projects was called searching for unsent postcards. i'll tell his backstory. ahh, then my colleague and i the two of us worked in the press service and at some point he came to visit us. just on the wings of inspiration, an employee from the acquisition service and the acquisition backlog brings 16 postcards with a photograph of cosmonaut vladimir mikhailovich komarov and we see that on the back of these postcards the autograph of the cosmonauts is genuine and in his

own hand. eh, it says who the postcard is intended for. and where it should have been sent, but for some reason these postcards were not sent. what was interesting was that they were all signed by the residents of ufa and my colleague. our perception still works a little differently, we look at these postcards, and the same idea is born in our heads at the same time. why don’t we try, half a century later, to find the recipients of these unsent postcards and convey such a greeting from the cosmic past, and we start this big machine with these people, how many emotions we experienced simply cannot be conveyed, but also looking ahead, i will say that a we did not find only four people, that is, 12 out of 16 recipients of these postcards. we found moreover, and as part of this action, we held a very large exhibition at the moscow museum of cosmonautics, which was dedicated to vladimir mikhailovich komarov. we invited

everyone we found, either the recipients or their relatives, if the recipients themselves were no longer alive, we invited them to the museum. we solemnly presented them with these postcards, and the government of bashkortostan went directly to the city of ufa when they found out about this. they supported the search as much as possible for these people, and tv journalists and journalists also joined in this work. results, and we installed a memorial plaque in the building of the aviation institute in the city of ufa where this meeting with vladimir mikhailovich komarov took place. in and. all. so out of these sixteen postcards there was another project that i also really like. it is too. by the way, i will talk about half a century. it was a chess game, and which was played between earth and space 50 years later, and the first game was played in the seventieth year, when the astronauts in the

mission control center and the astronauts in orbit played chess. and we are the people who work to popularize this industry. we decided to repeat this game 50 years later, exactly half a century later, and this time the museum, cosmonautics and international space station were playing, and there was such a wave of interest in chess that we seemed to be even further on this wave. let's go, they also got attracted to this topic, space topics, they became interested in space, they became interested in the museum , they became interested in the united states, it was great, it was all live in two languages. reaches a huge number of views, and of course many more people, then i wanted to come to the cosmonautics museum. i know that uh, you’ve already written a book about space animals. can you briefly tell us about it, how the idea came about, and what the reader who has read it very much can read there. yes, this book is called animal astronauts. the first space explorers. i don't talk about

all animals there. i talk there, first of all, about the dogs that flew into space. and the idea of ​​this book. born from two moments. first. i started to notice that... people who come to the museum regardless of their age. they only know three dogs that have flown into space. this is laika, the first dog that went into space, and belka and strelka , the first living beings who not only flew into space, but also returned safely to earth, but there were much more of these dogs. and i learned this, by the way, all thanks to the institute of medical and biological problems, because i had the opportunity to work with archival documents. with memories of people who directly prepared these dogs for flight into space and at some point during this communication. i started writing down stories. just for myself and at some point one of the publishing houses with which we interacted came to our museum and spoke. you know, we want to make some kind of good book with the museum, filled with equipment. eh, the opportunity

for the museum to be in all the bookstores in russia. i say there is such a topic, they say it’s amazing about it. no one has ever written this book before, i wrote it, and it has already gone through four editions, such popularization. yes, there i talk about everyone animals, uh, starting with the very first ones, which back in the fifty-first year, dogs flew into space. that is, as if 10 years before the first human flight into space and already ending with those experiments that took place after human flights, because there are such a huge number of them, about 50 dogs, flew into space. moreover , some flew twice, several dogs flew three times, and one dog flew four times, yes, and i always tell people if it seems to people that they just took the dogs and sent them into space. this they are not, essentially. there was a real dog squad there. they also went through preparation. ahh, medical selection is mandatory. we remember that a certain height, weight and age.

it’s definitely girls if we’re talking about orbital flights, because both boy dogs and girl dogs have flown on geophysical flights, and only girls have flown on orbital flights, and they must be mongrels. and the preparation was very strict. that is, the same centrifuge. eh, then the dogs had to be trained, because it was not clear how they would behave in flight conditions and were taught to eat in conditions, and shaking in conditions of loud sounds. here is the real preparation, the real absolutely real story. tell us about your new job after 7 1/2 years at the space museum. i was offered to study not only history. and with modernity, and let’s put it this way, quite frankly, with what’s happening now and with what will be interesting in the future, i moved from the cosmonautics museum to a private russian space company. this is very

important, because and now , astronautics as a whole is absolutely convinced of this, and is experiencing a certain renaissance and a certain renaissance a. private space exploration in russia is now gaining momentum. and it seems to me that she’s about to rush towards everything in the avangard. this is the news on channel one in the studio dmitry sumskoy hello vladimir putin arrived in veliky novgorod, he began his visit with a visit to the center for supporting special operation participants and their families, the president talked to the staff and veterans of those who are undergoing
