Sergey PROKOPYEV. Hero of Russia and Cosmonaut of the Russian Federation at the VI Tsiolkovsky International Space Film Festival in Kaluga

Each year at our film festival, cosmonauts hold creative meetings with residents of Kaluga and visitors to the city. Free tickets to these events are gone almost instantly, everyone wants to see the heroes and hear the most fascinating details about preparing for spaceflight and life aboard the ISS.

This year, we were honored to welcome Hero of Russia, cosmonaut of the Russian Federation, and festival jury member Sergey PROKOPYEV.

The audience didn’t want to let the cosmonaut go: they asked questions, collected autographs, and took photos together.
