From Roscosmos:
State Corporation "Roskosmos" regretfully reports that on the 86th year of life, cosmonaut No. 11, the first man in the world to go into outer space, Twice Hero of the Soviet Union Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov, died.

One of the first cosmonauts of the world space era, forever devoted to his country and his work, he inscribed himself in golden letters in the world history of astronautics. With Alexei Arkhipovich a whole era has gone. The best memory of him will be the new achievements of the Russian cosmonautics, to which he devoted his bright heroic life.

The management and staff of the State Corporation express deep condolences to the relatives and friends of Alexei Arkhipovich. A telegram was sent to them with condolences on behalf of the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin.

Farewell to A.A. Leonov will take place on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 11.00 at the Mytishchi military memorial cemetery.

Everlasting memory!

This is very sad news indeed.

I was fortunate to meet and speak with Alexei Arkhipovich on several occasions at the Autographica shows here in the UK. On his latter appearances, I always received a huge strong bear hug when we greeted each other. Something I will never forget.

He kindly contributed a foreword to the 2005 Russia's Cosmonauts book (on TsPK) by Rex Hall, Bert Vis and myself.

Alexei had a huge, warm personality, was always very helpful and forthright in his conversations, and was a real gentleman. He was a true pioneer and ambassador of human spaceflight, greatly admired around the world and he will be much missed. RIP Alexei.

I met him once at a signing event where he signed my copy of "Both Sides of the Moon." I said good morning to him in Russian and I got a smile and good morning in return. He was a very friendly and approachable man. The story of him bleeding off pressure in his space suit during his EVA is a testament to his bravery and courage. Rest in Peace.
