Fashion and cosmonauts!?! This is from the December 1999 issue of Vogue Russia with model Natalia Semanova. Featuring the 1997 Air Force selection of cosmonauts: Dmitri Kondratyev, Yuri Lonchakov, Roman Romanenko, Aleksandr Skvortsov, Maksim Surayev, Konstantin Valkov and Sergei Volkov.

Here’s something cute to ease the sting of the last shuttle. It’s from May when Yuri Lonchakov and Maksim Surayev went to China. It’s in Russian but if you let it load you can watch some cuteness @2:16 when they get mobbed by children and @4:52 when Lonchakov kisses a girl. There’s also Surayev in an Ernie(of Sesame Street fame) shirt.
Michael “Mike” Fincke and Yuri Lonchakov, February 2009.

Yuri Lonchakov, as he prepares to put on his training spacesuit. He is wearing a Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment which is worn underneath the spacesuit. It has a network of ventilation ducts, which draw moist air away, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
(and unmanned programs too!)
