Description maxuta_id="011019" LETTER TO MIR COSMONAUT VOLKOV FROM MEDICAL SUPERVISOR!    Cosmonaut Alexander Volkov "space mail" collection The letter to A. Volkov, S. Krikalev (Soyuz TM-13/Mir) from their doctor (medical supervisor) V. Krivolapov This letter was sent to cosmonauts Alexander Volkov and Sergey Krikalev onboard Mir space station from their doctor V. Krivolapov from Star City. The cover and letter has Mir stamps. Mr. Krivolapov was the medical supervisor for the cosmonauts Volkov and Krikalev, to be more exact, the man who prepared them "medically" for the flight and inspected their health before and during the flight. Cosmonaut Volkov told very warm words about him, it seems their became friends because medical control is very strong for Russian cosmonauts, and the crew who passed the medical tests successfuly could feel themselves lucky because this is a chance to be in space (what gives some privileges in the future life). Mr. Krivolapov wrote about some changes on Earth after perestroika (that was Gorbachev time) and he told that the changes are not good changes (the cosmonauts on Earth even made the document named "regulations about cosmonauts" where they asked Russian government about something - Mr. Krivolapov wrote about that). He also wrote that in Star City all was as usual (even such "usual" situation as committing thefts of small things from cars on the streets). Mr. Krivilapov also told that cosmonauts reports from space were very good, they made specialists to think well about their helth. He also delivered some things to cosmonauts with the mail (besides them are 5 video cassetes, some magazines, video-camera accumulators etc.) Close to the text translation: Hello, my dear "Donbasses"! You receive more or less big news from the MIssion Control Center. It's even difficult for me to add something. There is anxious time here on Earth. Everyone has been waiting for changes. It's difficult to believe that there will be the good changes. Yesterday, Jan 13, 1992, the cosmonauts trooped together to discuss the future document called "regulations about cosmonauts". There are too many opinions and this causes a lot of disputes. I'm sending the outgoing letter of the above document. We suppose to give rise to something concrete on the base of this letter thesises, and this should be legalized in the future. But this is just the information for you. Despite the guys are in rush to clarify themselves with the document now, I think, you should also rack your brains over the document when return. Finally that is your further work and life. The life here is all right. Journalists and doctors are being prepared for the OKP final exams. Others are also as planned. The crews have been passing KFO without changes. I pray that they pass the medical tests, though, as always, they have some pretexts, and the specialists of GMK with tenacious memory remember the previous "sins" of Viktorenko and Kaleri. I hope on the best. When the solution is reached I will let you know from Mission Control Center. There are no visible changes in the city. Someone has been still committing thefts of small things from cars on the streets, they take everything that is possible to take away. I, with my "swallow", should maybe will fall sick to a brain illness because of the emotional experiences. All men from the troop always pass the greetings to you despite they do not have special interest to your flight. Their problems are closer. As for the medical guaranteeing of your flight, in my opinion, you do not give cause for being worried to the doctors. Anyhow they are undisturbed about you and trust you. Please try to look like eagles on Earth when landing. Judge by Artsebarsky you can do it with yourselves. Any croud of doctors will not help you better then yourselves. Please do not lose heart, hold your tails like the guns. Please do not swear us on Earth. The way you talk to Mission Control is convenient to everyone and distinguish your crew from others. Please do not waste time on trifles, muster patience until the landing. I'm passing through Yura Vekua the 5 video tapes (4 with records, and 1 clean - I did not record the hard porn which was brought by Tozhtar). Klau also passed you 2 accumulators for "video-8", they are not charged, he also passed the gum and postcard from himself. Also I'm passing you a bird (the souvenir from the foreign friend) with congratulations on postcard and a map. The sun-glasses will be brought by Polyakov to the landing place (he told that it will be more safe this way). I wasted the half heap of the papers and magazines from psychologists and pass you another half. But I'm not sure if I will be able load that to the spacecraft, I do not know if there a place for my parcels will be available. Here are all the news. Hello, and I wish you the good flight. See your soon. V.Krivolapov Comments to the text: Donbasses - the plural for Donbass - the place where Alexander Volkov was born and the call-sign of Soyuz TM-13 crew. "...to look like eagles on Earth when landing..." - means to be brave, look well, "...hold your tails like the guns..." - means "do not be cast down", COA: Personally addressed certificate of authenticity from Mr. Volkov will be given to buyer according to wishes upon request.
