In 1955 he became a cadet of the Chuguevsky Supreme Military Aviation School of pilots, but in 1956 he was fired to the reserve. In 1963 he graduated from the All-Union Correspondence Polytechnic Institute under the program "Engineering technology, metal-cutting machines and tools".

He worked as a third category designer from January 30, 1957 in the 5th Department of the Experienced Design Bureau-1, OKB-1. In August 1957, he was translated into the 18th department, where he first worked as a constructor 3 categories, then 2 categories and 1 categories, engineer-designer, senior designer engineer. From October 16, 1964 he worked as a senior engineer in the 90 division, from August 2, 1966 he led the 732-year group. In August 1967, he became the head of the 731-year department of the OKB-1 department.

From 1968 he was a leading engineer, two years later he headed the laboratory of flight tests of the 731th Department of the OKB-1. He led the flight testing laboratory created on the Tu-104 aircraft intended for creating artificial weightlessness. She was evaluating, designing and experimental testing of cosmic ships compartments. Worked out actions of astronauts in open space, including the transition from the ship to the ship, under artificial weightlessness and lunar gravity. The aircraft made 250 flights, 1250 times was in conditions of artificial weightlessness of about 10 hours and 150 times in the conditions of lunar gravity.

Got a medical examination at the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems only from the second time. After that, the annual medical commission was held, since the conclusion about the shelf life was given for only one year. The next conclusion of the Main Medical Commission on the shelf life for special training was received on February 24, 1972. At the meeting of the State Interdepartmental Commission on March 27, 1973, it was recommended to enroll in the cosmonaut detachment.

From January 1974 to January 1976, he was prepared for the flight on a transport ship 7k-s. At the same time he headed a group of civil engineers who were preparing for this program. From January to June 1976, he was trained by the first crew of the first crew program for the test program of the MCF-6 multi-zone camera, together with V.F. Bykovsky.

Vladimir Aksenov - 36th Soviet cosmonaut and the Hero of the USSR: biography with photos, space, personal life, significant dates, first flight, time in open space.

36 Cosmonaut of the USSR and 79 Worlds.

Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenov was born on February 1, 1935 in a small village of Giblitz in the Ryazyan region (then the USSR). In the consequence, a man will take the place of the 36th cosmonaut of the Soviet Union and the 79th in the world. He will see a big cosmos twice and will stay there without a small 12 day. But this is later ....

After graduating from the 7th grades in the native village in 1949, the boy intended to continue to study in the industrial technical school, which was located in the district center. But fate ordered otherwise: his mother died, and the guy moved to the suburbs.

After graduating from Mytishchi Machine-Building Technical School, in 1953, the young man continues his studies in the Kremenchutsk 10th Military Aviation School of Initial Training of pilots.

Successfully graduating her in 1955, he became a cadet of the Supreme Military Aviation School in the city of Chuguev, from which he went to the reserve in a year.

1963 in the life of the cosmonaut was marked by the end of the Polytechnic Institute, he received a member engineer diploma.

In 1981 he received the degree of candidate of technical sciences at the Institute of Space Research.

Space

Vladimir Aksenov only received a medical admission to flights from the second time. After him, a man had once again had to do a similar procedure. March 27, 1973 after the next successfully passed medical commission, the man was recommended before enrolling in the ranks of the astronauts.

The next two years a man shoulder to the shoulder with L. Kizimoma was in an aircraft 7k-s. The purpose of the creation of this ship was military-technical research and experiments in the autonomous field. Later, the ship began to deliver the crews into orbital stations. Also, a man was also agreed with V. Bykovsky.

As part of the Intercosmos program, Vladimir Aksenov held 7 days spent in open space in September 1976. The man served the position of the Soyuz-22 Soyuz-22 spacecraft of the Soyuz-22 spacecraft.

After 4 years, such an experience was repeated in the life of Vladimir Viktorovich. As the same flight engineer, but already at the T-2 Union, the astronaut successfully docked from the orbital complex in which the crew of the main expedition was located. This time, the callsign "Jupiter-2" spent almost 4 days in space.

Having completed the stage of cosmic flights, a man continued to work in this area, preparing new astronauts.

In 1988, Vladimir Aksenov left their ranks.

Free time the former cosmonaut loves to spend varied. Literature and music, mountain tourism and light athlics were included in the list of his hobbies. Also, a man does not miss the opportunity to play tennis or football.

Vladimir Viktorovich is an honorary citizen of cities: Ryazan, Kasimova, Kaluga, Zei, Mytishchi district of the Moscow region, p. Gibilities of the Ryazan region, County Jefferson (Kentucky, USA).

V. Aksenov led a large public job:

since 1977 - Deputy Chairman of the Soviet Foundation of the World,

since 1979 - Deputy Chairman of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Monuments of History and Culture,

since 1992 - Deputy Chairman of the International Association of World Funds,

since 1996 - Chairman of the Presidium of the Public Organization "Spiritual Movement of Russia",

since 2001 - President of Scientific Fund "Institute for Safety and Sustainable Development".

Aksenov is a multiple participant in the International Scientific and Public Forums on the UN, UNESCO, UNEP on conversion issues, ideologies, cultures held in the USA, Brazil, Switzerland, Denmark, France, Japan, Austria.

For the first time I saw the astronus Aksenov in 1976 after the first flight, when he, having arrived in Ryazan, met with the team of the research institute of gas-discharge instruments. An open look, fascinating a smile, a calm story about flight into space, about unforgettable foreign meetings made an indelible impression on us. Since then, more than 37 years have passed, but to remember how the institute's employees did not leave the hero, enjoying the minutes of the meeting, after the solemn meeting of V. Aksyonov visited the laboratories, where he was familiar with the development of the institute. Photographs are clearly seen as the doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences V. Stepanov demonstrates V. Aksenov's work of the helium neon laser.

The second time I met with Vladimir Viktorovich in February 2010 at the Museum of Cosmonautics of the All-Russia VVC in Moscow at the presentation of his book "Test roads. Notes of the constructor and astronaut - from the first satellites to the present days. "

I was interested in a closer look at the famous countryman, talking to him - a man of one with me a generation (the difference at the age of only two months). We have a lot in common. Cold and hungry rustic childhood. Both started an independent life from the Military School. Then - "Citizen" study after work and participation in the development of new techniques. I was pleased to communicate with a person who is his work, having passed complex trial roads, achieved height in profession and life.

The presentation took place in the conference hall of the Museum of Cosmonautics. Cosmonauts, scientists, colleagues at work, publishers, friends, relatives, representatives of the Government of the Russian Federation, state and public organizations are collected in it.

As soon as Vladimir Aksyonov goes to the stand - the hall is exploded by applause. He is the same as many years ago, smiling, beautiful, static, tightened (hardening of young years old - during the pre-diploma practice in a technical school at the Stalin plant (ZIL) he graduated from school ballroom dance at the enterprise culture palace). Only Sedina decorates years.

Book V. Aksyunova, presented on the presentation, as no other document characterizes the identity of the author. It is based on specific situations in which he was either a direct member or a witness to them. In the book of V. Aksenov reveals the pages of his biography against the background of the development of cosmonautics in the USSR of the period of great accomplishments.

"Leading in the World, - emphasized Aksenov, - We walked out the faded paths of science.

Feature: Cosmonautics Times of Korolev in its main stages of knowledge solved everything for the first time: what is space? What is a person in space? What can he do that he could not? What stages should it go before space? The search was in a stunning pace, which was asked by Korolev. None of the flight repeated, the technique and tasks became more complicated. Each flight could be retracted by the requirements of yesterday's instructions. Each time Sergey Pavlovich determined the degree of possible risk. But the risk was not blind, and hundreds of times an derived step of thought-out more complex training of astronaut to flight. He took responsibility for himself. It was believed in it, and it was satisfied with all: both astronauts, and all those involved in this great, little-known case, including the country's leadership. Great personality! No Chairman of the State Commission before the launch of the ship in space did not go to the meeting, having previously not recognized the opinion of the chief designer. "

Selection S.P. Korolev was not random. He possessed a unique ability to combine different people To solve the grand tasks. "It is impossible to make mistakes and not to ask anyone -speaking Korolev, - Any mistake initiated the search for new enemies. Everything was completely new: both science, technique, and the complexity of human relations. "

"Yes, really, was completely the right Werner von Brown, -notes Aksenov, "When, answering the question about the reasons for the USSR championship in front of the United States in the first stages of the formation of astronautics, said that there was no such figure as Korolev in America." In the book "100 Great Scientists of the 20th Century", prepared in the American Information Center, Sergey Pavlovich Korolev took the fifth place in the world and the first among Russian and Soviet scientists.

True on space

When discussing the book, colleagues of astronauts were made, scientists, publishers, friends. They noted the truthfulness in the description of the events, the complexity of flights, especially the enormous responsibility of test cosmonauts for the fate of new manned ships and space stations. The author's courage was noted in solving not only technical issues in the creation of new equipment, but also in solving truly state challenges in the field further development Cosmonautics, as well as the use of space research results in the national economy of the country.

It seems to be interesting to bring partly some performances.

Daughter S.P. Koroleva - Natalia Sergeevna, - Congratulations on the release of the long-awaited book and the 75th anniversary of the birth, noting the youth of the soul of the jubilee, energy, inexhaustible energy, goodwill, simplicity, availability, latitude of knowledge, erudition, friendliness of the beautiful artist of Russian folk songs and romances, wished him good health.

Cosmonaut V. Polyakovwho has worked in space with a total of 688 days, noted that Aksenov, later appointed by the Director of Meteorology, monitoring the earth, embodied the dream of S.P. Korolev - "Cosmos must be creative." V.V. Aksenov as a designer and cosmonaut-test participated and made a significant contribution to the creation of a new generation "Soyuz-T2" ship, in which all subsequent generations of astronauts successfully fly and fulfill the tasks for 30 years.

B.A. Astafyev: "Three times the Hero of the Soviet Union A. Tashkin wrote the book" The Sky War ", V. Aksyonov -" Test Roads ". These books of outstanding patriots, the finest psychologists, are written by people with wonderful qualities: they are inherent in justice, durability and hard work. The book Aksenov is written as it can write a professional, the deepest, most courageous, the most honest, the most erudite person. "

An interesting fact from his space biography, described in his book: At the first start, another medical test for general professional and psychological sustainability was held in space Aksenov. Aksenov is the only cosmonaut, who had a permanent and unchanged pulse - about 64 shots per minute, and he did not change to the start and at the start of the rocket. This is a world record in the level of calm before the start and at the start of the ship.

In the book Aksenov, it considers in detail the question of the role of personality S.P. Queen in the development of space. But the Korolev worked the story is not alone. Together with him, selflessly served as the identity of another level, but also personality. Among them, our countryman Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenov.

The path to the stars

Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenov was born on February 1, 1935 in the village of Giblitz Kasimovsky district of the Ryazan region. Lifestyle on the village demanded daily permanent labor, it was especially related to spring-summer and autumn periods. In all home and fieldworks Children always participated. Volodya's parents lost early. His grandfather and grandmother were brought up, and he participated in all the works on a par with adults. A variety and constancy of rural defendant created a favorable atmosphere for a healthy lifestyle.

After school - study in the machine-building technical school, a military school of pilots, in polytechnic Institute. But Aksenov believes that a person receives his main education during the lifetime itself, and the studies lasts all his life. It depends on the kind of activity, and from the people who surround you. Aksenov was lucky in this regard.

From January 1957, after dismissal from the ARMS series (due to the reduction), Aksenov began working at one of the most advanced enterprises in the Moscow region, who led Sergey Pavlovich Korolev - a person later recognized as the founder of practical cosmonautics in the USSR and in the world. But some working conditions are not completely insufficient enough to become a personality. For this, it is necessary not only to have a rare specialty, but also to constantly learn.

The fact from the biography of Aksenova: working as a designer in the most complex industry, he immediately, without separation from production, comes in absentia to the Polytechnic Institute.

Two lines of biography contain a saturated segment of the life of a young specialist. Work requires complete dedication. All new.

Learn in such an environment - a difficult task, given that in 1958, Aksenov will acquire a family. Marina's wife worked in the same OKB, where Vladimir. Now they have two sons: Valery and Sergey, grandson Alexander and granddaughter Ivanna. But there is a goal, there is a desire, perseverance, patience - hardening the children's years of rural guy. As is typical of our generation. How an experienced and responsible specialist Aksenova soon after the end of the institute is transferred to the enterprise-test service and are appointed by the technical supervisor of new tests.

Responding to the entire course of work, he takes a personal part in them, especially in the development of techniques and test modes in conditions of weightlessness, performing 250 flights on the laboratory plane. The growing complexity of space flights requires comprehensive testing of manned ships, flight management methods for both the creation of fundamentally new ships and to solve the most complicated tasks to apply the achievements of science in the national economy and the defense complex of the country. And among the first candidates for astronaut testes - Vladimir Aksyonov.

In the first one space Flight On the ship "Soyuz-22" (1976), he, together with the commander, Valery Bykovsky, conducts tests of the new ICF-6 optical system, created by scientists of the USSR Academy and GDR, the Karl-Tseys enterprise.

"Multi-zone photographing with orbit - the experiment" Raduga ", performed in September 1976 by the cosmonauts of V. Aksenov and V. Bykovsky on board the Soyuz-22 ship. The ICF-6 equipment operating in six spectrum ranges has been developed by the USSR and GDR specialists.

In the picture, the artist A. Sokolov conventionally portrayed this important space experiment.

The successful implementation of this task was allowed Vladimir Aksenov further on a competitive basis to become the director of state research institute for the study of the natural resources of the Earth. The Institute is engaged in the design and manufacture of automatic spacecraft to study the surface of the earth by remote sensing methods. Later, V. Aksenova is appointed by the Director General of the new NGO "Planet" enterprise, in which his institution of state priority became the main scientific link.

In the second space flight (1980) it was necessary to test the new Soyuz-T spacecraft, the design of the design of which was offered by V. Aksyunov based on the test results in the first flight. Such flight can be attributed to the tests of higher complexity. The first flight of the new aircraft in aviation gives rise to a new aircraft, in the cosmonautics the first flight gives new ship. The crew as part of the commander of Yuri Malyshev and the flight engineer Vladimir Aksenov managed to overcome all the refusals and "surprises" of the first tests and prove the right of the new ship to their further life.

Call sign: "Jupiter-1".

The duration of the flight was 3 days 22 hours 19 minutes 30 seconds.

In 2010, in June, this ship was 30 years old. All these years, the unique apparatus provides space programs and is the main ship of our and world cosmonautics.

A look into the future

Looks to the future V. Aksenov sets out in their work "Russia in the Twentieth Century. National Way of Development "(M., Publishing House" Patriot ", 1999). The preface from the publisher notes that Aksenov is a very versatile person who is both scientists and a practitioner with deep knowledge and practical experience concrete activities In various fields - in science and production, in economics and finance, in legal and political regions, deeply dismantling in matters of culture and religion, sociology and philosophy.

Thirty-two years of work at the enterprise S.P. Korolev in the design, design and test units, at all stages of the origin and development of manned cosmonautics, and then four years of work in the field of automatic systems for the study of land - in all positions from the designer to the general director of the Scientific and Production Association - Dali Aksenov the opportunity to acquire an invaluable experience The understanding of the organization of the work of large production systems and the country's economy as a whole.

That is why his judgments, as a creatively gifted person, have a practical focus and show its ability to highlight the main paths in solving problems.

Confirmation of the characteristics of Vladimir Akseynova, as a person, is his work on the national path of Russia's development in the twentieth century. His judgments on the state of Russian cosmonautics, the country's defense capability, the country's independent national policy, the assessment of the modern situation in the world, environmental problems, the problems of the formation of a human personality with high moral and moral qualities, on the issues of the State Device of Russia, about state guarantees, as one thing required conditions Society. In matters of national economy, Akseynov shows how to solve property issues, combining property and responsibility, the use of natural resources.

Summing up the discussion of the National Development Road of Aksenov writes: "Western analysts have long sought to understand the mysterious (according to their concepts) a Russian soul, but they are probably not able to realize what it is in it, in the mysterious Russian soul, and there is that genetic spirituality and indestructible desire to approve justice that is absent from Pragmatic, effective in material affairs aimed at extracting from the entire material benefit and more primitive as a whole of Western person. "

"The future of mankind - writes in conclusion V. Aksenov - it is inextricably linked with the spiritual revival of man and society, with the creation of conditions that ensure each person the possibility of its comprehensive life with decent material support Life of every person and his family. The historical task of Russia is to win the battle with the global financial and economic elite establishing its laws and its orders in the world, and stand up on their national path, a new way of development. "

In the preface to his book, V. Aksenov writes: "The name of the book" Roads of Test "corresponded to my idea of \u200b\u200bhuman life. Every person has his earthly life - it is his tests that arise in front of him not only in professional activityBut in all life situations and problems, and which every person must overcome, choosing ways out of any situation due to their life ideas, mental and physical forces, in accordance with their character and will. "

And on this road, originating in the village of Giblitz Ryazan region, he goes without stopping with time, passing through the burned test, successfully overcoming obstacles with the perseverance of the rural guy, without a "hairy hand" and pushers. Step by step, the step behind the step rose to the upper bar of knowledge and professional skills and, overcoming the earthly burden (in the literal and figurative sense), went into space at the near-earth orbit, won recognition in his country and the world. And the latitude of knowledge, the indestructible desire for optimization not only technical (improving the designs of spacecraft and the use of cosmonautics achievements in the national economy), but also the life processes occurring in human society, allowed him to express his point of view on the national path of Russia's development in the XXI century .

June 11, 2011 in the city of Ryazan on Tsiolkovsky Street, the Bust Bust Cosmonaut of the USSR was installed, twice the hero of the Soviet Union Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenov. I was lucky to participate in the work on creating and installing the bust to our famous countryman.

30 years ago, June 5, 1980, with Baikonur launched modified manned spaceship Soyuz-T. The main task of this flight was to conduct the first tests in the manned mode of the new, improved transport ship of the Soyuz T Type, designed to replace the Soyuz Spacecraft.

From the memories of Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenova, the pilot-cosmonaut of the USSR, twice the hero of the Soviet Union: "There are few such flights. Their number corresponds to the number of new types of aircraft or spacecraft ... ".

The developer and manufacturer of ships of the Soyuz family since 1960s and to the present is the Energy Rocket and Space Corporation.

The flight "Union T-2" preceded several years of painstaking work of designers, engineers and scientists. Creating a new ship headed Chief designer Konstantin Davydovich Bushyev.

Literally a year before the first pilot flight of his ship, it was unexpected for everyone ... Chief Designer Konstantin Davydovich Bushyev ... His death was a huge loss ... for all world cosmonautics. "

"Union" has always been to this day remains a "workhorse" of Soviet cosmonautics. The ship was modified almost constantly. "Soyuz-T" (T-Transport), which made the first flight into space in 1980, was distinguished by significantly improved systems (digital computers, new system Control, combined motor installation). Due to the modification of the descent apparatus, the "Soyuz-T" crew could include up to three people in the skaters.

"It was the world's first spacecraft, in which the basic control processes were carried out through the on-board computer. In the American cosmonautics, a ship in which all processes were also carried out through the on-board computer was the Schettle spacecraft, which flew a year after our ship. "

Testing the "Union" of the new series was entrusted to the commander of the ship Yuri Malyshev and the flight engineer Vladimir Aksenov. The crew has worked out various control modes and new on-board transport ship systems in the manned version.

From the memories of Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenova: "Our call sign -" Jupiter "...

Over the porthole of the ship, the earth appeared in his fantasticly beautiful form. Yura saw all this divine beauty for the first time and did not hide his delight. "

During the flight, "Union-T was docked with Salute-6 Space Station. At this time, the stations were astronauts Leonid Popov and Valery Ryumin. In order to form a working orbit, the crew of the ship performed a two-pulse maneuvr. At the first stage, the rapprochement of the KK Soyuz T-2 with the Salute-6 orbital complex was carried out in automatic control mode. Further rapprochement and mooring was carried out by manually crew. KK "Union T-2" docked with station on June 6.

From the memories of Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenova: "It was the first docking of space objects in the world, made in a fully manual mode, without any instrument support for measurements of the parameters of the convergence and docking ...

After our manual modes with Yura docking ... began to be performed in other flights. "

The Soyuz T-2 was minted from the Salyut-6 complex on June 9 and on the same day at 12:38:30, 200 km southeast of Jazcazgan landed. From the memories of Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenova: "The surfaces of the Earth are triggered by a soft landing engine ... But everything went wrong with us ...

(Descended apparatus) gave jumps on the steppe five times ...

Such a "soft" landing for all the previous ones, and then it turned out that it was not for all subsequent flights. "

Pilot-cosmonaut Double Hero of the Soviet Union Yuri Vasilyevich Malyshev did not live to the anniversary of this historic space flight. He left his life on November 8, 1999.

From the memories of Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenova: "Yuri Vasilyevich Malyshev was truly real, solid, Russian man with a wide soul and open heart ..."

American shuttles, and "grandchildren" of that "Union-T" will soon be stopped, the only piloted transport ships in the International Space Station program.

From the memories of Vladimir Viktorovich Aksenova: "... tasks solved in space Flights - These are nationwide and universal tasks. They need to be addressed not because it is beneficial to someone, but because it is necessary for general advancing forward, for the further development of science, accumulation of universal knowledge and experience. "

Cosmonaut: Aksenov Vladimir Viktorovich (02/01/1935)

• 36th cosmonaut of Russia (79th in the World)
• Flight duration (1976): 7 days 21 hours 52 minutes, "Hawk-2"
• Flight duration (1980): 3 days 22 hours 19 minutes, "Jupiter-2"

Vladimir Viktorovich was born on February 1, 1935 in the village called Giblitz, located within the Ryazan region. He graduated from seven classes of the local school, after which in 1949 he was enrolled in the machine-building technical school of Mytishchi. Complete special education 1953, he entered the school of pilots (Vashfol) in Kremenchug, Ukrainian SSR. From 1955 to 1956 he served in the Aviation School of the city of Chuguev, where the cosmonaut Georgy Dobrovolsky was previously served. However, Vladimir Aksenov could not complete the School in connection with the reduction air forces and his premature demobilization.

At the beginning of the 1957 year, the future cosmonaut got a designer on the rocket and construction company OKB-1, today - RKK "Energia". In 1963, he completed an education in the field of mechanical engineering technologies in the All-Union Correspondence Polytech in the capital of the USSR, in the same year he became an engineer designer.

Space career

In February 1972, the second time Vladimir Viktorovich managed to pass the medical commission to have admission to special training. Two years later, Vladimir Aksenov had already been prepared for space missions.

The first flight

On September 15, 1976, the Soyuz-22 spacecraft started from the ground, on board which the crew commander Valery Bykovsky and the onboard engineer Vladimir Aksenov were located.

The ship was equipped with a six-lending Camera ICF-6, which was a joint project of the GDR and the USSR. During the week, astronauts photographed the surface of our planet with the help of the ICF-6. The camera covered not only the visible, but infrared portion of electromagnetic radiation. After this experiment, the modified version of such a camera was installed on board the Earth orbital station "Salyut-6". Today, multispectral cameras such as the ICF-6 are used for satellite shooting.

For weekly stay in the orbit of land and holding scientific research Cosmonaut Aksenov was awarded the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union, as well as the pilot-cosmonaut of the USSR

Second flight

On June 5, 1980, Vladimir Viktorovich, as a flight center started on the ship "Union T-2". The crew commander was Yuri Malyshev, who first left the land limits. The task of cosmonauts was to test the modified ship, as well as docking with the Stana "Salute-6". The ship was equipped with an updated automatic docking system, which during the docking, worked with failures. As a result, manual docking was successfully completed. Noting all the shortcomings of the design and mechanism of the ship, on June 9, the crew "Union T-2" returned to Earth.

For the manifestation of courage and masculinity during the cosmic mission, Vladimir Aksenov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for the second time.

Future life

In 1981, a year after the end of his space flight, astronaut Aksenov defended the dissertation of a candidate of technical sciences at the Institute of Space Research. Until 1988, Vladimir Viktorovich continued to serve in the cosmonaut detachment, at the same time continued the activities of the designer in the NGO "Energy". In 1988, he left the squad of astronauts and settled on the position of Director of the Research Institute for the Study of Natural Resources, where spacecraft were designed for remote sensing of our planet. Since 1983, he had a leadership position in the Soviet Foundation of the World (since 1992, the name "International Association of Foundations in the World"), from 1990 to 1992 he was the general director of the Planet NPO. From 1996 - Chairman of the "Spiritual Movement of Russia". And since 2001, Vladimir Aksenov has been the President of the Foundation called the Institute for Safety and Sustainable Development Problems.
