Russian cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky told how he became a "monkey" in space

According to him, he dreamed of another profession and found himself in the space sphere by accident.

“I did it by accident, I dreamed of being a biologist.

But then life turned around so much that I started to launch monkeys into space, worked on biosatellites, then I myself became such a monkey who was told “go, you’ll be a scientist, but in space”.

And I didn’t regret it a bit, ”he said.

According to him, now he has "an insanely interesting job."

Earlier, the hero of Russia Andrei Borisenko, in an interview with the "Petersburg Diary", told how he spends his last hours before flying into space.
