Does anybody know the signature in the upper left corner? |

It's definitely not one of the early Vostok/Voskhod/Soyuz cosmonauts, and not one that I recognise. |

All look to be early/vintage signatures of those known cosmonauts included. But there appears to be a date written underneath the unknown autograph "2-11-?," but I can't make out the last number of it or so. Maybe a cosmonaut trainee or space program official of some kind, but highly unlikely to be a rookie cosmonaut not flown yet. |

Colin and Ken, thank you for your opinions.The date next to two signatures reads 02.11.1968. Georgi Beregovoy landed with Soyuz 3 on 30.10.1968. Thus it might be return to Star City or debriefing after this mission. Could the unknown signature be Vasili Mishin who succeeded Sergey Korolev as head of the construction bureau? |

I can only add that the first letter of the name resembles an English capital B, which is V in Russian - and presumably his first name, so you may possibly be correct. |

You could be correct on it being Mishin. I just went through some of Mishin's diaries (transcriptions), that he evidently consigned to Sotheby's Auctions in 1993. If you go here (Volume 3 of his diaries), and then to page 192 of the diary, you'll notice some writing, including what appears to be a match at the bottom.Here's another website that talks a bit about them, and it has a link to the diary transcriptions. |

Oh yes you are right, it's autograph Mishin. Here, the evidence also my collection! |
