Left to right are Yuri Gidzenko, Bill Shepherd and Sergei Krikalev. This photo hung on the wall of The Outpost for many years.

I wonder what Krikalev and Gidzenko are doing now, and what they think of the state of affairs in this post-Crimea, post-Shuttle world we live in now?
Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 42988 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 04-28-2014 08:43 AM As of April 12, Krikalev is serving as the representative in Moscow and St. Petersburg for Aleksei Chaly, the acting governor of Sevastopol, Crimea. Up until 2011, Gidzenko was deputy chief of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center (GCTC) at Star City. Most recently, his name was floated in Russian news reports as a possible replacement for Krikalev as chief of the GCTC, though Yuri Lonchakov was ultimately appointed to the position.
