How the First Spacewalk Nearly Ended in Disaster - Alexei Leonov Voskhod 2

- When Alexei Leonov made the world’s first spacewalk in 1965 in Voskhod 2, it was hailed as yet another great success for the USSR in the space race against America. It was only after the fall of the Soviet Union that the west found out that while it may well have been made to look like a success by the Soviet Press, it was, in fact, it was teetering on the edge of disaster from the moment Leonov stepped out of the airlock till the crew were rescued from the vast frozen forests of northern Russia.

What it must have felt like to be launched into space, perform the first ever space walk, and then end up freezing in the woods, hoping you get rescued.
InnocuousRemark he flew in the Soyuz apollo mission if I remember correctly.
That's the glory, and the vulnerability of space exploration!
At least these guys were lucky enough to survive and Leonov did flew in Soyuz-Apollo mission. Komarov in Soyuz-1 wasn't so lucky - spaceship was rushed to production and there were multiple failures. Worst one was fhe parachute system, that didn't worked and killed Komarov at his descent to Earth
Gravity is an absolute nonsense, it is an insult to science and to those who have trained to become astronauts/cosmonauts. I was especially embarrassed by the portrayal of the hysteric female astronaut that had no idea what was going on and what to do and needed all-the-necessary man to calm her down and save the day (kind of). I am not a woman nor a SJW, but it was seriously degrading towards both females specifically and the profession in general that makes anything like what was portrayed in terms of behaviours impossible.
there a movie about this/ www.imdb.com/title/tt6673840/
It is rumored that the Voskhod 2 spacecraft had to be equipped with larger rocket engines for it to be able to lift the huge balls of its crew.
I mean, if he didn't he would've been executed
@@Wickedonezz That's exactly what i thaught. He had no choice. If he didn't do it then he was send to JAIL or EXCUTED.
@@Wickedonezz interesting, did you know Russian rockets were so much more reliable than american ones that mostly even nasa used them? :) but gj on the properganda xD
@@hefr1553 what does this have to do with Soviet propaganda? He still would've been executed even if they're better
@@hefr1553 also, still would've been executed
Great work thanks, I met Alexey Leonov at the Museum of Victoria Cosmos Soviet Space Exhibition, in 1984, when I was 16 which I wagged school to visit. He was so surprised that a school kid in Australia knew so much about the then secret soviet space program and that I recognised him, I guess a few people in Australia would, particularly a kid! Alexey confirmed to me that the soviets attempted to go to the moon and were also developing two types of space shuttle, he even showed me some of the hardware involved that weren’t clearly marked as to what other uses the hardware performed. I told him that I had vividly remembered him in the joint Apollo Soyuz test watching him on TV, I was 7 at the time, and that it was a true honour to meet him, so think that he was somewhat surprised that a 16 year old kid not only recognised him but knew of his accomplishments, I guess I made him proud and yet I noticed at the time that he kept looking over his shoulder looking at security men that were watching us, but out of ear shot. When he asked how I knew so much I told him that, I’ve been following the space program since I was 5 years old, recalling the American moon landings, cut and paste every article about space flight which I still have in a scrap book, I also read Red Star in Orbit: Inside Story of the Soviet Space Program, Oberg, James E.; Foreword By Tom Wolfe, a great book that demonstrated that the West knew virtually everything the soviets were up to, prior to and confirmed after the dissolution of the soviet area. I also told him that I was a space artist, like him and drew drawings of what the Soviet space shuttle could look like, based on the Australian RAAF reconnaissance photos of a “Soviet Satellite” June 3, 1982, "Cosmos-1374 recovering a lifting body "BOR-4". He laughed when I told him that the Australian media, showed images on the front page of a newspaper and that not any media source reported it as a mini shuttle, just a “satellite” recovered close to Australian waters. This “satellite” looked so much like the current American dream chaser, was to be launched on a proton rocket, I was also surprised when he confirmed that they were also developing a far larger “shuttle” like the American shuttle but would be far superior, which they did in 1988. Of course, a lot of this would not be confirmed or revealed till after the dissolution of the soviet state, just really appreciated his honesty, I guess he thought who would believe stories from a school kid. I was so surprised by his gentleness, his time giving me an experience I would also remember, his truthfulness and his great sense of humour, for me at the time this was the high light of my life somewhat akin to say meeting Neil Armstrong! Alexey Leonov truly a great man of science, cosmonaut, and artist. RIP.
PS my Grandmother and mother also were proud to see Yuri Gagarin the first man in space and Valentina Tereshkova the first women in space in a parade in Poland must have been around 1963-1964.
Hello! I'm from Russia. I read with great interest your memories of meeting Alexey Leonov and that you are interested in space flights. I also saw Alexei Leonov when he came to the military unit in the North of the USSR where my father served and our family lived at that time. My brother took some photos. At that time, American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts were the most famous and respected people. It's a pity that no one had a chance to talk to him then. I am sincerely glad for you that you had the good fortune to talk with Alexey Leonov. But twenty years later, I sent him one of the photos that my brother took. In the letter, I told him that I was very interested in the history of the development of the space programs of the USSR and the USA and asked him to leave me an autograph on the photo as a souvenir, which to my joy he did. Eternal memory to him. By the way, in my collection there are Soviet newspapers and articles about all manned space flights of the USSR and the USA in 1961 - 1973. Good luck! Saint-Petersburg.🤝❤
Those old school Soviet cosmonauts were badasses...

@Everstruggling Are you now...I've been doing this a long time. You can tell you hit a nerve when the paid shills come out in force. And you can tell they work for NASA when it's NASA themselves who steal your quotes.

@@NavidIsANoob The trouble with not understanding how stuff works is you're left with having to take the word of others...Even when those others you rely on, are profiting from your ignorance. Look how much control Government and NASA have over you because you're so easily lied to and manipulated. But I'm the one you believe has problems...You're precious.
@@asleepinthealley Hey man, we all have problems. I know I do. A good first step to bettering yourself is realizing, admitting and accepting that you have a problem. That's why I'm recommending you to pay someone to look inside your head. Yes, it actually helps.
RIP Alexei Leonov. He died on 11'th October 2019. A true hero to step out in the vast unknown of space.

it always goes like that when you try something for the first time
I've always had a great respect for Alexei Leonov and I am honoured to have known him in person and feel privileged to hear this and many other exciting stories directly from the man. Mind you, he was also a captain of the Soyuz in a 1975 historic Soyuz-Apollo flight. RIP
Great video. Love your soviet space series mr droid. I was lucky enough to see Alexi Leonov talk in London a few years ago it was an amazing night
The Soyuz is like AK47. Old but still most reliable even today. Good old Russian ingenuity and simplicity.

@@Puleczech they tried but it exploded on take off, a few weeks later the usa did
@David Rodriguez people will always prefer lies in as much it's the USA. I'm sure moon is laughing at us humans. We never went to the moon. Think about it: they would need similar launching setup to leave the surface of the moon but with less energy but they would still need that energy to get off moon surface. Use your brains people.
1 in space is A Germany Uses V2
In Soviet Russia you don't cancel space program, space program cancel you.
How many Russian and American astronauts perished all the time?
3 in space
Yes.
Soviets did not have the market cornered. Americans did because of their "free" media. You will never hear about the failures.
“If he dies, he dies.”
It's regrettable that the Americans and the Soviets were adversaries. If they were able to share information between themselves on failure and issues, I feel that a lot of unfortunate and repeated events that costed lives, could have been avoided. But I suppose the urgency of the race that led to much innovation would have been absent.
Actually JFK proposed an alliance but after his assassination, things fell apart really quickly.
Yuri Gagarin and the other early cosmonauts should be as much of a household name as Aldrin and Armstrong in the US, all are international treasures.
The competition between US and USSR drove a lot of the advancements in space technology which got a big part of the start from the dismantled German rocket programs and scientists.
Without the competition there probably would have been no space programme at all. Kennedy did indeed put out feelers to see if the US and the USSR could co-operate in manned spaceflight but it was Kruschev who turned the request down. At the time it was perceived that the Soviets were winning the race - so he didn't see any propaganda value in giving away that lead.
The Cold War has given us the Internet and much more, even things you do not even think about. For example, the first 3D acceleration chips were invented by Texas Instruments for a military airplanes simulator. Japanese company Sega has licensed the single chip for $2 million to remake it and add it to its genius $15 000 Model 1 motherboard for the arcade game system they made for Daytona USA racing game back in 1993. The new Cold War of today is absolutely fake and purely partisan (Russia is about as capitalist oligarchy as the USA now, not point to be afraid of the "scary communism"), so it will not bring much, but competition in general was helpful in the past, not only harmful. This is just the law of dialectics.
Rest in peace Alexei Leonov😔❤️ May you walk peacefully among the stars.
LOVE it how you never try to push or even hint a political agenda unlike most if not all other utub channels out there. The facts as they are...

, A lie so great that it spans the Globe, Uniting warring Countries tied together only by their shared lies of Space travel and their debt to Rothschild's Central Bank. Politics are a ruse to cloak the even bigger lies. Where else but in tales of Space do we hear of a propulsion not hindered by Sir Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion? Only in the minds of NASA, Shills, and Sheep do these possibilities take shape.
@@asleepinthealley
Man I hate to pop your bubble but why would SpaceX (a private company so don’t pull that “for more tax money” bs) invest billions of dollars into a Lie? Why would NASA create the most powerful machine humans have ever made for a “lie”. My mother saw it launch back in 1969. Although it is hard you can see the ISS with a telescope. If we can see the astronauts get in the capsule, and somehow, the capsule ends up it a different location, BURNT BY RE-ENTRY, how is it a lie? You have no evidence. You can’t be bothered to do your own research before commenting.

@@user-gh5jc9tx5r You mention "research" but have done none yourself. Perhaps you should?
@@asleepinthealley
You implied that gravity in space is equivalent to the gravity on the surface of the earth. This is false. If that was true, the moon would fall to the ground. Now that doesn’t make any sense does it? How do you think satellite internet works? My research is the laws of physics, dumba$$

Soviet rockets are so cool looking Soyuz is a true workhorse.
IKR American rockets are really good but Soviet rockets definitely win when it comes to style.
Space Chowder and self detonating, they were good at that too.
SpaceX rockets are "cool", soviet rockets just work ;-)
It's unpatriotic of you to admire communist art. Every American knows art was supressed by the totalitarian state. Soviet bus stops: goo.gl/T2XtYr
Nehmo Sergheyev I'm an artist myself I do not worship a country I admire humanity our skill, expression through art ,design architecture aviation spacecraft especially railways, our ingenuity good the ugly. so boxes do not occupy nor narrow my mind 🙄
Leonov has balls of steel doing that. And unlike many "daredevils" jumping from cliffs or walking on the edge of towers his feat has massive importance in space tech.
more importantly, he made that decision in moments, without knowing if he'd make it out alive. and there was no room for error (except for, well, all the other things that went wrong)
RIP Cosmonaut Leonov. Another space pioneer has passed away. We salute you.
Michael Henry My condolences from the US
The amount of people in USSR dying on a mysterious way is actually frightening.
yeah if you've noticed anyone responsible for the first steps for USSR into space - died mysterious deaths - starting with Gagarin and the dude who sent him there - Koroliov. Clearly something was messed up.
People died young all the time in the old days. Inferior medicine, lack of safety culture, diseases, unhealthy lifestyles...
Just like the people on the Clinton hitlist. No mystery there.
@@dijoxx especially the famous gulag lifestyle
@@wrmusic8736 Gagarin died on mig-17 crash,
Koroliev died of kidney failure because of his time in a gulag
Tell me about a bad day... Was there anything that didn't fail? Still they made it. So amazing!
Well it didn't burn up I guess
WOW!!! That is amazing, I'd never heard the story before. Thank God the crew was able to survive to tell their grandchildren. Thanks so much Paul !!! Your videos are always so awesome and it's nice to be able to learn more about the Soviet spacecraft & missions as well.
That probably is the coolest tail ever, to tell to grandchildren.
'' I remember that one time I flew in to space and did the first space walk, and then landed in taiga and fought wolves, whilst waiting to be picked up. You kids have it easy now with your mobile phones and pokemon'' :D
YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT until Sept 20, 2017!? I'm speechless.
LOL! And finding yourself in the wilderness after shortly before being in outer space. Not many, if any, will ever experience that.
Yep, what can I say...
Why would you thank a god for that? What did they got do do with any of it? The way I see it, it was heroes surviving against the odds of shitty equipment.
we learn from failure - there was no previous spacewalk experience, surviving alone was a challenge and that Leonov managed to confront the unexpected obstacles was heroism
"Whilst it may have been made to look like a success by the soviet media"......WHAT??????? The reason it looked like a success was because IT WAS A SUCCESS!
Whilst it may have come close to disaster, IT DIDN'T. There are many other space missions on both sides that had very similar circumstances. Still the FACT is; he did the world's first space walk and returned home. SUCCESS.
+1
It didnt end in disaster, IT DIDUUNT!!!!
You triggered, bruh? I think all he was saying is that it wasn't all sunshine and roses like portrayed by the media. Chill you knickers.
The Soviets portrayed it as a perfect mission even though they constantly were on the brink of failure.
What an incredibly epic story. Nearly disastrous Space Walk, manual reentry, crash landing, survival in the woods and a rescue. I hope somebody makes a film of this!
The movie is called "The Spacewalker" 👽
Ahh, learning... such an underrated sport.
BRO THIS MOTIVATED ME
There is a very good russian movie about this, with Leonov himself as the main consultant. The movie name is "Время первых" - "The Age of Pioneers". Very advisable to watch.

I collect brains, sorry
Gemini 4 - June 1965 - Ed White - Space walk - had the same problem - overinflated space suit.
Re-entry into his seat required that he get his legs under his instrument panel and rotate down into his seat - his over-pressurized rigid suit legs prevented him from re-entering.
Like Leonov, he had to depressurize his suit fit into the ship and close the hatch. NASA had no prior knowledge of the Russian's suit problem.
the USSR did this in 1965 ?? godd damn... much respect!
They also did it in 1961
Apparently, when he appears to wave, he panicking. It's crazy how this was almost a death sentence for him
Leonov often appeared at NASA news conferences during the time when the Space Shuttle was frequently visiting the MIR space station. He used his skill in English, perfected when he was commander of the Russian half of the Apollo-Soyuz program, to charm the media. I was lucky enough to see him several times on NASA TV and the former Chief Cosmonaut's good humored attitude always stole the show.
Another really interesting video, Paul. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Leonov, a true hero and pioneer and a wonderful human being. Always so generous and humble in his interviews and respectful of all other astronauts both Russian and American. Absolutely no doubt he would have walked on the moon if their program had been successful
Remarkable footage. You do an excellent job on all your videos and I especially enjoy the aerospace ones.
6:54 with warm clothes, food and of course vodka
Dang it... film cameras.
Leonov and his crew soared to the peak of human advancement in technology and he stepped out into the void of space where no earthly creature had been before. Shortly after that he landed back in his homeland only to be faced with the most human of survival situations, surviving in a frozen wasteland until help arrived.
Life is fragile and that dude found himself in the face of the two most polar opposite life or death situations. I'm glad Leonov lived a long life. Rest in peace comrade, you were a trailblazer for all of humanity.
Just watched the movie Spacewalker, Leonov served as a consultant on the movie. It was really good, I recommend it.
Vostok means east, Voshod means sunrise

Wow.. I remember watching the Voskhod 2 movie.. Russian made too! So the quality and special effect looked great!
Just a fantastic broadcast; still congratulatory where deserved but honest about difficulties. Thanks for this.
It is really a miracle that they survived. At least 6 times during that launch and reentry they were at serious risk of dying. Those men had gigantic balls.
Despite all the difficulties, the mission was an incredible success!

A Manual re-entry had indeed been done before by Gordon Cooper on May 16, 1963 as his electronics failed due to a leak in his urine system that was shorting out all the electronics. Not only was it completely manual, but he landed closer to the carrier than any other Mercury astronaut had. In fact there was a picture of his craft on parachute directly above the carrier Kearsarge. Only due to winds was he able to avoid landing directly on the carrier deck.
7:15 Hmmm.... died "unexpectedly"....
What? You think they killed him to bury secrets?
"His jaw was broken by NKVD commissar during Koroliov interrogation in GULAG" - phahaha, that's some Hollywood levels of dumb right there. Did you come up with this yourself?
The operation was actually connected to stomach problems. The broken jaw dated back twenty plus years but it may have been a factor in inhibiting attempts to revive Korolyev on the operating table.
Whereas Werner Von Braun LIVED unexpectedly when he should have been hanged in 1945 .
The GULAG interrogation story is a propaganda myth, but otherwise the description is close enough to what has happened.
Great delivery of information mate. I really liked the video. Will watch more.
Flat earthers will say it’s fake
John Mercado *do say it's fake. All CGI! lol

And globe earthers will say that flat earthers say it’s fake, it’s a vicious circle!
There are plenty of people who actually do think this video is fake; same type who believe that we’ve never actually made it into space because all the Russian space missions were fabricated to stick it to America, and vise versa, which also means the moon landing was fake as well; therefore, we have no proof the Earth isn’t flat. It’s a conspiracy within a conspiracy.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I love your shirt. A mix of jungle camo and floral pattern is a lot cooler than I thought it would be.
Great video!. And btw thanks for wearing batik shirt. I'm proud of you. From Indonesia
U rock, curious droid. Each video is better than the last! Congrats!
Rest In Peace Alexei Leonev! 🙏🌹
There is a book. Two sides of the moon. It's written by and contains the auto biographies of Alexei Leonov and (Gemini/Apollo astronaut) Dave Scott. Nicely running in parallel. If you want a clear picture of an interesting career and life, you can have it from the man himself. Including opinions of the respectively opposite space programs. And their experiences when they met each other. What they said, what they didn't say, what they thought. Quite a smart idea to connect that.
Also it was written after the end of the Soviet Union, so Leonov could write freely and honestly and not be resticted by possible PR reasons and mostly secrecy conderns. Very recommend.
What a fantastic story, Thank you.
Russia produced a movie about this episode of a space race - it's called "Время первых" (Vremya pervykh) on Russian, litereal translate is "Time of the first ones", but for English-speakers it goes under more appropriate title "Age of Pioneers". It's good, moderately accurate and visuals are almost on par with Gravity.
Hey curious droid, you likely won't see this comment but this was a very good video (as usual) what background music is this I love it!
I think he makes it himself. See the video description: "Music By Paul Shillito"
Curious Droid Thank you Mr Droid! Have a good day. 👍🏻
I think he can see the replies but not all are published on his channel, for good reasons. Well done!
This was without a doubt the greatest manned space mission ever prior to apollo moonshots. This was an is an amazing achievement and Leonov is probably the greatest cosmonaut who ever lived!

@ the host, you always have such amazing shirts! Cheers, appreciation, and gratitude to the Russian cosmonauts and their efforts to further human knowledge on spaceflight. Your sacrifices are appreciated and now known. Thank you.
After all these videos, I can finally say that I have subscribed and I'm waiting for more awesome content.
I just watched the interview with Alexei Leonov and he never said anything about having a suicide pill in his suit
Because that's just a myth. First of all, the cosmonaut was not equipped with a pill that he could take to commit a suicide in the case he wasn't able to get back into the spacecraft just because ballooning of his spacesuit was unexpected. The second point is that one have a plenty of possibilities to commit a suicide, when in space. There's just no need for a pill )
Pilgrim Dust inte i just find it intriguing that if he couldnt make it back into the space craft he was willing to commit suicide
I don't think that the very word 'suicide' was ever spoken by these men ) psychological selection of first cosmonauts was so strict, that suicide just was never considered by them )))
+Pilgrim Dust
Plus, how is he going to take the pill with his suit on?
+John Be Bad
Oh, that's simple:
Step 1. Take off the helmet.
Step 2. Profit!

Very detailed, objective and interesting. Also thanks for subtitles!

Okey. I saw a lot of conspiracy guys pointing out how fake it looks because of quality.. The cameras back then looked like shit. Low fps plus low pixel density etc. It ain't fake just because the quality is bad

what an amazing story, as I was listening I couldn't help but think what an amazing movie it would make. better than gravity.
"Время первых" or "Spacewalk" came out in spring of 2017.
It will be hard to find versions with eng subs(there is no dub sadly) tho, but this way u will be able to save original voice acting and it's totally worth it.
Edit: found good version with eng subs on sovietmoviesonline
Great performance of the Russian cosmonauts dealing with reality in the border between the possible and the impossible. Nothing to make a girly scandal of. Unexpectancies always occur in edge science and technology and we learn from them.

What a fascinating but of space history and another great episode! Keep up the great work!
If Soviet Union and the States would’ve worked together from the beginning they might already have humans on mars by now
Luna if there is a competition ,the progress will be fast.
if USSR and USA worked together, they would have landed maned missions onto the sun already. although it's very hot there, so they have to do it at night, obviously.
(for those who didn't get the joke - it's relating to donald j. trump)
They work together now, and progress is dead. Spinning round the Earth, spending lots of money getting nowhere. If they were still competing they'd have raced to Mars 20 years ago or more.
if they worked together, we would have humans on the Sun!
I love this video! I’m a huge fan of these histories, of the history of the space programs of both the USSR and of the USA specifically, but also of the history of the science being conducted in both countries from the late 1940s through the late 1970s more generally, so thanks a bunch for posting this! 🙂
One small qualm: I’m not 100% sure what you said about the risk of fire in the Soviet spacecraft being very high on account of the cabin’s oxygen content is strictly accurate? I’m not 100% sure you’re wrong either, though…
While the USA’s spacecraft cabins maintained a pure oxygen environment, and at a higher pressure than what we experience on Earth, Soviet spacecraft were usually climatized with a nitrogen/oxygen mix in roughly the same 78/22 proportions as we experience in Earth’s atmosphere, and their cabins were kept at a similar pressure to Earth’s.
At least, this was the case in 1975, when the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was conducted, necessitating a special airlock module in order to connect the USA’s with the USSR’s craft - not only because the Apollo and the Soyuz ships had different docking mechanisms from one another, but because the pressure, and the nitrogen/oxygen mix, with which the two craft had been climatized were too different from one another; simply opening a hatch between the two craft would’ve caused too rapid a change in both, and everyone inside each would’ve succumbed to the bends … so the special docking module was used, not only to fit the spacecraft to one another, but to gradually, over the course of many hours, equalize the cabin pressures and oxygen mixes.
Maybe much earlier Soviet spacecraft than that flew with pure oxygen? I don’t know … but it seems like they learned from their first accident, and pretty quickly ditched using pure oxygen in their cabins.
I’d be curious where you got your info from, just to have a gander at it myself. I know the Kremlin has been declassifying documents at a steady pace over the years, so I’m guessing that’s where your info comes from, but I’d love a link to your source(s). I’ve also never heard this before about the cosmonauts carrying suicide pills, so I guess my appetite is really whetted to dig through some old Soviet documents! 😉
Once again, great video, and thanks for posting! ❤️
nerves of steel
Wow. In all my years of following space exploration, I'd never heard this story (that I recall). Thank you!
And I thought MY weekend was mad
loving the content coming from you guys... shall be joining pattern as soon as i get paid from work to help support your work!
His shirt makes him look like Norman Schwarzkopf.
Thanks for this Paul. I'm currently reading 4 volumes of Rockets and People by Boris Chertok and its is all very interesting and ties in with your videos. I was lucky enough to visit Russia for work last year and had a day off to visit the Space museum in Moscow. Well worth a trip if you can do it.
RIP Alexei Leonov October 2019
Cracking video, takes me back to my youth following the space program at all hours. Still do to some extent, great stuff.
Great video. Worst shirt yet. Keep it up!
Your delivery is really good, thank you for interesting vid!
I guess this was all done CGI and on a film stage too? Im sure Stanley Kubrinski was in on it!

Nope. The moon landing was though. We can go into near Earth orbit, just can't go past the Van Allen belts. "We'd go back to the moon in a nanosecond, but we destroyed the technology and can't get it back." Actual NASA quote. Also, don't you think it is weird only one country went to the moon, and that country only did so under one presidential administration? Research and ignore the propaganda and tell me we went to the moon.
@@defeatignorance8681 oh you mean that belt we travelled through in a couple of hours, and not even in its worst part?
@Curious Droid Hi there Mr Droid! Love all of your vids, especially the soviet space program series. You may want to check out the Russian movie "Время Первых", or in literal translation "Time Of The Firsts". Don't know if there is a translated version of it, but being Russian myself there was no difficulty in watching it for me. Anyway - the film is historically accurate and it's about Leonov's and Belyaev's flight. Really awesome flick. This is by no means an advertisement, just my opinion.
Thanks for putting in the time to make these great videos.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Paul, A+ effort at 2:33 pronouncing cosmonaut Pavel Belyayev's name. Something tells me that took a few takes to get! Absolutely, positively loving your channel and savoring dozens of videos at a time, catching up on all your old content since recently discovering your channel!
Rest in peace legend
Wow, another made for Hollywood movie story that should be done. LOL as usual you are a great host! Clear concise and informative. How did I not know about all of this I ask myself. Thank you for bringing me up to speed!
