Do you know who “K. Sergeyev” was? How about “Chief Designer”? The soviet people did not know either, nor were they allowed to know. These are the aliases of Serhii Koroliov, the USSR chief spacecraft designer whose identity was kept hidden by Stalin and the NKVD (the masterminds of purges in the USSR). They limited his freedom, tortured him, and forced him to remain incognito, but they never broke him.
Read our article to learn the truth about the Ukrainian genius behind the biggest technological achievements of the USSR.
Just imagine, aged 17, Koroliov independently designed a working glider (an aircraft without an engine). Later, the Aviation Society of Ukraine had the design, created by a teenager, taken into actual development.
Serhii Koroliov was a Ukrainian genius who was obscured by the Soviet government. He was the mind behind numerous outstandingly progressive and revolutionary inventions of humankind; he created the first artificial Earth satellite and organized the first spaceflight and the first spacewalk.
