- I can. The abovementioned event never happened. We lost four
- cosmonauts: Dobrovolskiy, Volkov and Patsayev (decompression
- during landing sequence) and Komarov (parachute system failuyre).
- Also some guys got themselves killed during the training process,
- as usual. BTW, Soviet newsparers now are even _less_ reliable than
- the foulest British or American tabloids.
