Leonid Kadenyuk refused to be considered "Ukrainian Gagarin"

The day before in our feed News material was published reporting on the initiative of the Ukrainian authorities to postpone the celebration of Cosmonautics Day from April 12 to another date. The day of flight of the "first Ukrainian astronaut" was chosen as an indicative date. We are talking about Leonid Kadenyuk, who flew in 1997 on the American shuttle Columbia.

The start of the flight of Leonid Kadenyuk is dated 19 November 1997 of the year. It was on November 19 in Kiev that they planned to postpone the “decommunized” Cosmonautics Day.

However, Leonid Kadenyuk himself reacted negatively to the initiative of the Ukrainian authorities. According to him, the Day of Cosmonautics is an international holiday, and the flight of Yuri Gagarin has a “universal significance”.

According to the pilot-cosmonaut Leonid Kadenyuk, who graduated from the Chernigov VVAUL and Cosmonaut Training Center, attempts to make him “Ukrainian Gagarin” look ridiculous.

The words of Major General Leonid Kadenyuk lead radio station "Moscow says":

Nobody can replace Gagarin at all.

The reaction of the Ukrainian authorities to Kadenyuk’s refusal to support the idea of ​​transferring Cosmonautics Day in Ukraine from April 12 to November 19 is not reported yet.

Man!
I didn’t try on the fashionable crown, I said bluntly what I was thinking.
Not Gagarin of course, but very worthy.

In my opinion, he no longer works in state structures. Already probably a senior citizen. He had an interesting biography - read here on Wikipedia.

Cosmonautics Day transfer in Ukraine from April 12 to November 19

But what about the cries that Gagarin was Ukrainian? !!!
Really forgot?

It is good that he is alive and can express his opinion on this matter. And so the relatives could take away the good memory of him.
Health to him and long life.

Agree-become a symbol of the Nazis?
I think no sane person will agree to put himself in the ranks of the current heroes ... of the formation of Ukraine.

[SRC P-15]

Kadenyuk correctly decided: it is better to be a hero-cosmonaut than a laughing stock hero!

[MPK105]

He is simply OUR MAN ... I would like to be like when I am asked at the Last Judgment ......

Lyokha, and not too early you thought about the Last Judgment?

Pasha, he just did not realize that at the Last Judgment one must repent, and not pretend to be a hero.

[bouncyhunter]

Sanya, friend - do not be so strict on Lyokha! He is his own, Orthodox and ministerial, like most of those present here. If you wish, boyar - I beat him with his forehead: do not kill! And if you are ruining, then ruin me along with him! (boom with a forehead on the floor) ...

Yes, not a young Cossack already, Old Faith Ista, similar thoughts arise ... I would like to...come to the Judgment of God ... Yes, not fate, I see SO BEAUTIFUL before His Eyes to appear ...

Throw it to me - prepare in advance. I'll fly it!

I agree with you completely, but I would like to add: Kadenyuk was not an adequate peasant and did not want to be a clown, and some kind of Svidomo wise man in power, probably once again wanted to curry favor, and then a bummer. In short complete HIT.

Not Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich in general can not be compared with anyone. But Kadenyuk is also a person with a capital letter, as you say-human. Only the doldrums rule in Ukraine. It will be hard for him.

[bouncyhunter]

And after all, they will not look at past merits - they are eating without salt ...

And why exactly didn’t Leonid Kadenyuk think?
After all, in fact, it is full of cosmonauts with Ukrainian roots, for example: Grechko Georgy Mikhailovich, Popovich Pavel Romanovich, Beregovoi Georgy Timofeevich, but they didn’t choose them. Most likely, by the way he ended up in space on an American spaceship, a lackey habit ...... .............

So far, yes, but I won’t be surprised if the Yankees launch a homosexual, moral or simple, into orbit for tolerance.
Movie Iron Skies watched? There is such an option.

The paradox is that among cosmonauts there are no moral freaks, and this applies not only to our astronauts. Not only do they do a great job for the whole planet, but they risk their lives from the moment they start preparing for the flight ... A completely different set of characters.

Yeah, moral and simple, and with them in the company of a young European from urkayna, so that the flight would be completely non-standard.

In zero gravity you will not jump. The experiment with pseudo-gravity was canceled, and only the Yankees flew on the Skylab.

Yes, well done. But problems can start with a good person.

Huge respect to the Hero of space !!!

[CAT BAIYUN]

Well done man. I express my sincere respect. In a country with Russophobic zababons such that to express one’s point of view, one must at least have the courage. Not to mention the other qualities of character.
Hello to you, comrade Kadenyuk!

[Sasha_Sar]

Offset and Respect!

[Monarchist]

By God I did not know about this astronaut and his flight.
But in fact it’s visible in the pictures that the man is already in age: he has seen a lot, which means that he should not be led into a dummy.
If in his place any Gritsko born in 1993, he might have agreed.
More than a year ago, I had or had a chance to communicate with a Latvian, a sane nationalist, and though he admits with reservations that the current mess (it seems to have come from the English Bedlam crazy house in 18 London), only young people are relatively digesting.

Since 2011, he has been an adviser to the Prime Minister of Ukraine on aviation and astronautics. Age is -66 years old

Quote: Monarchist

This is understandable. Despite the fact that he was twice in the cosmonaut detachment of the USSR, he flew on the American shuttle Columbia. And we do not really know American astronauts. Firstly, since they are Americans, secondly, due to the fact that they flew much more and 1 people flew. For example, I remember that he flew on the Shuttle, but to be honest when it was a memory I did not remember

[just Palych]

No fools were sent into space, and no one canceled decency!

[Catherine II]

The Ukrainian authorities are specifically a zealous decommunizer Kirilenko (Deputy Prime Minister). He already had a discussion and controversy about this day. With 1997 there is a presidential decree that this day is also the Day of the workers of the space rocket industry. He was politely reminded that this day was essentially a world day and Korolev himself had a hand in him (yes, there were many Ukrainians, the same Glushko).
In general, a zealous official simply does not know what to do with a thirst for action. Moreover, without a presidential decree (which would cancel the previous decree), this is all idle chatter.
Under the mantra about Voentorg and assistance to the Russian Federation, the Regions (in the media and on the lips of officials it sounds differently) do so much ... in general, there is no way to show such zeal in the economy as in decommunization. In addition to raising tariffs, ideas are dumb.

[Berkut24]

And Ukraine sent it into space for its money?

[tatjana.koliaseva]

Leonid, come back to Russia with your family!

[Govorun]

Nobody can replace Gagarin at all.
The words of a man, not a horse h.hla ...

[tatjana.koliaseva]

Good people and faces are so nice. And the ukrofashists are all kind of pork snout disgusting. Leonid Kadenyuk has a very good face, courageous and honest eyes

[Aleksandr12]

Now the star of the hero of Ukraine will be taken away

[annodomene]

These people must be respected. Well done, even if he is loyal to the current "type of power in Kiev," he has not slipped into their bestial ideology. A real man!
