Sergey Ryzhikov Biography

Ryzhikov Sergey. The Nizhnevartovsky cosmonaut is the Russian cosmonaut-test in the years, when the development of deposits of Western Siberia began, one Surgut journalist dedicated the whole lane of the newspaper to his forecasts about how his native land will become. He wrote that large cities will appear in Ugra, power plants, river ports, runways, and landing stripes would be built, but could not even assume that only one decade later, the Khanty-Mansi district will give birth to its astronaut.

Although Sergey Ryzhikov was not born in Ugra, he spent his school years in Nizhnevartovsk. Since childhood, he was in love with aviation, gave her 15 years, going into the reserve with the rank of Air Force lieutenant colonel. The cosmic career did not begin immediately: from enrolling in the detachment of astronauts to the flight to the ISS, ten years have passed.

In October, the commander of the Soyuz MS spacecraft Sergey Ryzhikov, along with the crew of two people, started with Baikonur, and since then his call sign “Favor” has known the whole world. The editors of “Birthday: Tyumen Territory” managed to personally talk with the Nizhnevartovsk cosmonaut and his father. Nikolai Ryzhikov: I came from Bugulma in the year, then was a year old.

A friend called me to work in technical transport management, and I easily agreed. For a long time he drove the shift workers to the Burovaya on the Urals. It was the time of mastering the North, with all the difficulties of that period. First, we lived in the village of Tamponzhny in a beam with stove heating, without a water supply, we wore water, and in winter we drove home on a sled.

Then we moved to a wooden house, and only five years before the school graduation Seryozha began to live already in a well -maintained apartment in a floor house. Sergey Ryzhikov: The city, of course, is dear - there are all friends, teachers. There I graduated from school, the Club of Samotlor Wings, the Krasnaya Zvezda military-sports club, was playing sports.

Of course, I remember Nizhnevartovsk different. The city was heavily experienced by the period of the queasy, then all the fever was in a fever, and we were no exception in the Armed Forces. Arriving home, he watched with pain how the city was breaking, and they quickly degrade not only the social sphere, but people, and first of all young people. Now the situation is changing noticeably for the better.

In recent years, Nizhnevartovsk is becoming more comfortable and better, and now it is a completely different city - amazingly beautiful. But, you know, I will add a spoonful of tar, despite the external gloss, priorities have changed a lot. Previously, they were infected with the spirit of enthusiasm, dedication, their goals were far from personal, it was more important to some kind of common cause.

Yes, my father went north, but the money was not a priority goal.

A friend called and go! Well, you will receive more, but another is interesting - a large construction. Nowadays, I met this only once, when last year I went with a delegation for the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome. There he saw burning eyes, enthusiastic people, veterans, who at one time built Baikonur. They are already the seventh dozen, they gave all their lives to the country, raise their grandchildren, but learned about Vostochny and came from St.

Petersburg, the Moscow Region. Because again an idea appeared that could unite everyone. Sergey Ryzhikov: We flew every year to the “large land” - to Bugulma, then there was no other transport. Of course, this left a big mark. And his grandfather served in the aviation regiment, fought, passed Koenigsberg. Films and books influenced, especially at that time, all the boys still dreamed of some kind of heroic, romantic professions.

And what is the most romantic profession? Pilot, of course! Nikolai Ryzhikov: Plus personal qualities - he always had prerequisites for this. From childhood, Seryozha was very purposeful, did not waste time in vain: he read a lot, did, always did something useful. From the fourth grade I slept on the floor so that the posture was straight. All these many years went to her dream consciously, and she was doing.

Nikolai Ryzhikov: It seems to me that he raised himself. Sergey Ryzhikov: You know, I probably will not be original here. After graduating from the school, for a long time I was not able to fly flights, to grow professionally. Therefore, there was a lot not that temptations, but rather proposals. Suppose to return to Nizhnevartovsk, work in an air detachment, do civil flight work. I do not want to say high -half words, but kept the love of their deed and perseverance.

Once he said to himself: “Until everything falls apart until they drive out, I will serve. Not even flying, but sweeping away. ” For a long time he carried the guard service and received for this once every six months money, which was ashamed to talk about in his hometown. We suffered and hoped for changes. Over the years, I was given gratitude from fate, from heaven.

And has your attitude to time have changed, because you spent on board the ISS of the day? Does time run there faster? Sergey Ryzhikov: Of course, there is such an opinion on Earth, prejudice that time is accelerating. But we accelerate it with our bustle: in our life, more and more becomes unnecessary, allocated.In space, all this ceases to be important, and the perception of time changes, including due to the abundance of work, due to the variety of this work during the work at the ISS, Sergei and the team conducted dozens of experiments, medical, biological and physical experiments, served Russian and foreign cargo ships, side systems of the station, and conducted photo and video shooting.

But most importantly, the worldview is strengthened. All our ideas about the world, the capital truths that we were told about at school are confirmed. That a person should be good, that we are all equal, regardless of our nationality, cultural differences, and the situation in society. When you are in a closed space, as part of a multinational crew, you feel especially acute.

An understanding comes that the land is fragile, and the time that is allotted to us must be used as productively, with benefit and for a good deed. Distant Lyubov Fomintseva.
