Vasily Mishin (1917-2001) was a prominent Russian engineer and scientist: one of the founders of the reality of spaceflight. In 2014 the Mishin Diaries have now been published and can serve an extensive source for the first-hand historical information.
The original Diaries manuscripts are now owned by the Perot Foundation and was generously provided by them to the Moscow Aviation institute for this transcription project. The actual publication was made possible by Mishin's students, coworkers, family members as well as spaceflight historians and enthusiasts, including Oleg Alifanov, Elena Danilova, Maria Danilova, Vasily Danilov, Maria Matveeva, Kira Mishina, Nina Mishina, Vera Knubaeva, Ivan Moiseyev, Dmitry Payson, Vladimir Rachuk, Charles P. Vick and David Woods.
The digital version of the Diaries is available from this page.
