It's crazy to me how Volodya wouldve most likely became both a Engineer-General AND the head of the Cosmonaut Training center if his second flight was successful.
The guy who said “I don’t have the personality... I don’t know how to give orders. And here, if you count them, there are a thousand new responsibilities. They were training me to be a pilot, but I had to start with housekeeping, disciplinary matters, and being in the barracks, and conducting classes... When you think about all this under your command, your head spins" after becoming A LIEUTENANT. BECOMING A GENERAL AND THE HEAD OF THE COSMONAUT TRAINING CENTER
