Re: The phantom cosmonauts
Fascinating story. I had lost the link to Mark Wade's excellent site, so I'm pleased to recover it via this exposé of the bogus "dead kosmonavt" theories.
The defunct Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik (USSR) has a ton of skeletons in its commie closet, but no dead spacemen beyond Komarov, Volkov, Dobrovolskij and Pyatsaev.
