One of the reasons that the Soviet Union won the space race was because it had dedicated visionaries like the great Boris Chertok. Since he was involved in highly secretive programmes, Chertok wasn't a household name until Gorbachev's reforms.
Chertok died this week at the age of 99. Here is a brief bio published by the Russia & India Report.
