A great shame, but not totally unexpected. He was rarely seen in public these last few years. The longest solo flight of almost 5 days. Met him a couple of times. He was greatly respected by the other cosmonauts. He produced a large format pictorial autobiography a couple of years ago.Of course one of the original cosmonauts. Thus leaving only Leonov and Volynov. Boris Valentinovich still looks very good. |
