RUSSIAN MILITARY SPACE
-
In
Memoriam Maxim Tarasenko
|
q This Web site is constructed
based on the numerous publications and archive materials by
Maxim Tarasenko. Maxim was one of the leading analysts of
Russia space activities, those who set the basis for the open
independent analysis of then-Soviet space program.
.
q In the early 1990s the
small blue paperback book became a real breakthrough. In the
time being, almost everything is allowed; in that time, even
the title of the book - The Military .Aspects of Soviet Cosmonautics
- seemed almost unbelievable. However, Maxim was able not
only to write the book, but also to publish it in our home
country. The next monograph he participated in was The Russia's
Strategic Nuclear Armaments that became the bestseller as
well.
q Maxim passed out when
he was finishing the new book. Taking into account his researches
during the last decade, this latter would become a real sensation
not only in Russia, but in the international research community
as well.
q Maxim's book is practically
complete. Also, a lot of Maxim's articles, conference reports,
the large space programs data base still exist. I believe
that to open Maxim's files and archives for the experts and
Russian space program enthusiasts would be a best thing we
can do in memoriam.
