On July 13, 2022, representatives of the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly and the “Glazunovka.remember” patriotic movement visited the legendary builder of the Energia-Buran reusable space transport system, Lieutenant General Vladimir Grigorkin.
Vladimir Sergeevich spoke about how the Buran was built and transported to the launch site, how many people took part in this, and about ensuring their working conditions. "Buran", - created by the Soviet people, - could lift 105 tons into space. Returning to Earth after a test run, it was again ready to launch. The Buran system was the only one in the world that had such unique capabilities, and no one was able to repeat the brilliant Soviet technology.
Vladimir Sergeevich is the initiator of a dynasty of builders, his son and grandson today work for the benefit of Russia, grandson Evgeny Grigorkin built the main temple of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or, as it is also called, the Temple of Victory.
Vladimir Sergeevich was very interested in the joint activities with the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly and the Glazunovka.remember movement in preserving historical memory, and expressed a desire to provide possible assistance. The legend of Soviet cosmonautics noted the importance of transferring knowledge about all the heroic pages of the history of the Soviet Union, including in the sphere of the national economy, what would help the economy and import substitution today.
