Marshal Yegorova!

[vasilinaorlova]

Russian poet and artist Andrey Yegorov who this community among many must remember and hold in high regard tragically died in Moscow. I have not collected my wits or words about it yet and might never do.

My Generation

The day is hectic. I am trying to put things together before departure. Recently a news came that my close friend Andrey Yegorov is apprehended in Moscow with drugs. I should start collecting money for his advocate. Yesterday I learned that another writer, Arkady Babchenko, was shot in Kiev; today he's alive and says he had to do it to escape the Russian secret services' plot to murder him. While he's alive and I'm glad, it is a destruction of his reputation as a credible source of any information, and he undermined the struggle of others or so it feels like. I'm going to read Coates on a plane and write you long letters, as I promised. But Yegorov, Yegorov upsets me immensely. Our friendship broke up because of the fight over feminism, as usual, but now I passed a message of support to him, of course, and he returns such a joyous missive (through someone who has access to him). It is all so sad, and I feel like best people are getting screwed.

Tbh, even if they aren’t as well-known as the Three Greats (Gagarin, Tereshkova and Leonov), the other Soviet cosmonauts were pretty cute too. Like, Yegorov, Bykovsky, Belyayev, heck, even Titov were all just so huggable-looking! And that’s just from the first original group.

aaaah so true!! 💕

they’re all such cutie pies! 💞

Oh fuck you know who was a handsome guy? Konstantin Feoktistov. The guy was a bomb-ass silver fox, he’d probably be considered hot even by modern Western standards.

Did I ever tell you about all the dreams I’ve had about about this man? When I talk about him with my friends, I refer to him as “The Sex God” and we all know who I’m talking about. ;) 

Feoktistov defies the “nerdy engineer” stereotype 100%, that’s for sure.
