The Interkosmos program was the Soviet Union’s bold initiative to bring spaceflight beyond the superpowers, allowing astronauts from socialist and allied nations—like Czechoslovakia, Cuba, and Mongolia—to visit space decades before other major countries. From launching international satellites to sending the first Afghan and Vietnamese cosmonauts into orbit, Interkosmos was a unique experiment in space diplomacy, science, and Cold War politics. But was this truly about scientific collaboration, or was it more of a propaganda tool in the USSR’s ideological rivalry with the West? In this episode, we explore the history of Interkosmos, its impact on global spaceflight, and the fascinating (and sometimes bizarre) stories of the people who took part in this one-of-a-kind program.

Hey there. Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I'm Sergei and I'm from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life.
