Weightless: the story and dreams of cosmonaut Elena Kondakova

The protagonist of the film is astronaut Yelena Vladimirovna Kondakova, a hero of Russia. She was the third female cosmonaut in the history of the USSR and Russia and the first in the world to undertake a long-duration spaceflight! At that time, Yelena Kondakova left Earth for six whole months and moved to the "Mir" space station. This happened in 1994-95. Yelena flew again in 1997 on the American "Atlantis" and once more to "Mir".

Yelena Kondakova is a very bright person in communication. She is cheerful, ironic. Talking to her is a pleasure. Light, truly "weightless," yet with a clear, systematic approach to the world and to herself.
