I would like to know if there is a place where I can find the cosmonaut attached to the Cyrillic letters written on gloves.For example: ABA is Leonov (only the 'B' in Cyrillic) But who is: CP or KBK (seems to be Sergei Krikalev), for example? Could be interesting to create a database for this, no? |

I recall seeing a Krikalev glove that was initialled KCK in Cyrillic, which would be KSK in the Latin alphabet. I believe the general protocol for Russian gloves is Last name, first name, middle name/patronymic. KSK would therefore stand for Krikalev Sergei Konstantinovich. If that is always the case, then KBK (or KVK as it would be in Latin) would be for someone whose surname began with K and whose first name began with V...like Vladimir Kovalyonok, Valeri Korzun etc...except neither of those have patronymics that begin with K and off the top of my head I can't think of a cosmonaut who does. Someone else may be able to think who that is or come up with an alternative suggestion. As for CP, it is likely the initials of a non-Russian cosmonaut, hence the absence of a patronymic or middle initial. In Latin CP would be SR. Based on the assumption that all gloves follow the same formula, it would be quite easy to create a database by using any list of cosmonauts and a Cyrillic alphabet guide. Hope that helps a bit. |

Thanks for your reply and your knowledge.Any idea of who is the "CP" cosmonaut, I have seen a photo of a Sokol KV2 suit (without the cosmonaut  ) with this but don't arrived to find at who is it? For the other I will look at your idea. Thanks again for your great help. |

Steve Robinson trained as a back up ISS FE on ISS 4 I think. Could be his. I think two letters are Western Astronauts and three Russian. |

Interesting information. Effectively might be him in this case.Is there anyone that can confirm that Russian cosmonaut are design by 3 letters and other by 2? I'm previously think it is 3 letters just because they have more first name. |

I was curious about this discussion, so I took at look at the three Sokol gloves I have. I have a glove with CP on it. Sounds like it translates to SR (Steve Robinson)? The second has three letters, BNM. Sounds like Nikolai Mikhailovich Budarin, and the third reads DB (Daniel Bursch)? Does this sound correct? |

Sounds correct to me. All Russians have their fathers' name in the middle. I have the training gloves of Kononenko and Kondratyev. These are likely to be the training sets. |

Are you sure for CP? Seams really strange. That is strange is that I really see many glove with CP too? For the other I don't know, except perhaps for Leonov where I have already see it. No experts here that can help us.  |

SR might also mean Stankevicius, Rimantas |

A private reply said it might be Dan Tani - not sure if I've spelled that correctly. Anyone know his middle name? Thanks. |
