Excerpt characterizing Tarelkin, Evgeniy Igorevich
I have always loved nature very much. I was “tightly” merged with any of its manifestations, regardless of place, time or someone’s desires. From the very first days of my conscious existence, our huge old garden was a favorite place for my daily games. To this day, I literally remember, down to the smallest detail, the feeling of that unique childish delight that I felt when running out into the yard on a sunny summer morning! I plunged headlong into that surprisingly familiar and at the same time so mysterious and changing world of smells, sounds and completely unique sensations.A world that, to our common regret, is growing and changing according to how we grow and change. And later there is no time or energy left to just stop and listen to your soul.
We are constantly rushing in some kind of wild whirlpool of days and events, each chasing our own dreams and trying, at all costs, to “achieve something in this life”... And gradually we begin to forget (if we ever remembered at all. ..) how amazingly beautiful a blossoming flower is, how wonderful the forest smells after the rain, how incredibly deep the silence is sometimes... and how sometimes simple peace is missing for our soul, exhausted by the daily race.
I usually woke up very early. Morning was my favorite time of day (which, unfortunately, completely changed when I became an adult). I loved hearing how the still sleepy earth wakes up from the morning coolness; to see how the first drops of dew sparkle, still hanging on the delicate flower petals and falling down like diamond stars from the slightest breeze. How LIFE wakes up to a new day... It was truly MY world. I loved him and was absolutely sure that he would always be with me...
At that time we lived in an old two-story house, completely surrounded by a huge old garden. My mother went to work every day, and my father mostly stayed at home or went on business trips, since at that time he worked as a journalist in a local newspaper, the name of which, unfortunately, I no longer remember. Therefore, I spent almost all my daytime with my grandparents, who were my father’s parents (as I found out later, his adoptive parents).
My second favorite hobby was reading, which remained my great love forever. I learned to read at the age of three, which, as it turned out later, was a very early age for this activity. When I was four, I was already “avidly” reading my favorite fairy tales (for which I paid with my own eyes today). I loved living with my heroes: I empathized and cried when something went wrong, I was indignant and offended when evil won. And when fairy tales had a happy ending, everything shone brightly “pink” and my day became a real holiday.
It’s funny and sad to remember those amazingly pure childhood days, when everything seemed possible and everything was absolutely real. How real – I couldn’t even imagine then. This happened when I was reading one of my favorite fairy tales with another rapture. The feeling was so vivid that I remember as if it happened just yesterday: the familiar world around me suddenly disappeared somewhere, and I found myself in my favorite fairy tale. I mean it really turned out to be. Everything around was really alive, moving, changing... and absolutely amazing.
I didn't know exactly how long I was in it amazing world, but when it suddenly disappeared, there was some kind of painfully deep ringing emptiness left inside... It seemed that our “normal” world suddenly lost all its colors, my strange vision was so bright and colorful. I didn’t want to part with him, I didn’t want it to end... And suddenly I felt so “deprived” that I burst into tears and rushed to complain to everyone I found at that moment about my “irretrievable loss”... My mother, who fortunately That moment she was at home, patiently listened to my confused babble, and made me promise not to share my “extraordinary” news with friends.
When I asked in surprise: “Why?”
Mom said in confusion that this would be our secret for now. I, of course, agreed, but it seemed a little strange, since I was used to openly sharing all my news among my friends, and now for some reason it was suddenly forbidden. Gradually, my strange “adventure” was forgotten, since in childhood every day usually brings something new and unusual. But one day it happened again, and it was repeated almost every time I started reading something.
I was completely immersed in my amazing fairy-tale world, and it seemed to me much more real than all the other, familiar “realities”... And I could not understand with my childish mind why my mother was becoming less and less delighted with my inspired stories...
My poor, kind mother!.. I can only imagine now, after so many years of living, what she must have gone through! I was her third and only child (after my brother and sister who died at birth), who suddenly plunged into something unknown and was not going to come out!.. I am still grateful to her for her boundless patience and effort to understand everything that was happening with me then and all the subsequent “crazy” years of my life. I think that my grandfather helped her a lot then. Just like he helped me. He was always with me, and this is probably why his death became for me the most bitter and irreparable loss of my childhood years.

CURRENT STATUS:
retired from the Roscosmos cosmonaut corps in June 2015.
On May 28, Hero of Russia, cosmonaut Evgeny Tarelkin met with representatives of children's and youth associations in Transbaikalia, where he spoke about his profession, space, and life.
According to the cosmonaut, as a child he earned his first money as a machine milking operator on a collective farm, and his future profession connected only with the sky and the army, since his father served in the army and was a test paratrooper.
“I made my first jump at the age of 12. I remember that my weight then was 48 kilograms, and a paratrooper should weigh at least 50. They specially stuffed sandbags into my overalls to weigh them down,” recalls Evgeniy Tarelkin.
The Hero of Russia said that cosmonauts do not retire, they benefit the Motherland.
“Now I work at the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems as the chief specialist of the Sirius 1819 project, which is the preparatory stage of flights to the Moon. I was lucky and flew into space. There are not very many astronauts, I am the 115th. 3 or 4 people flew after me. The duty of astronauts is to teach the younger generation about space. We had a failure patriotic education, and now this work must be resumed. I get great pleasure from such meetings,” the cosmonaut emphasized.
Evgeny Tarelkin admitted that he is not an impressionable person by nature, but the trip to his small homeland touched his soul.
“A visit to Transbaikalia is associated with pleasant feelings and it even seemed to me that my health had increased. In addition, I had the task of my parents to film everything,” he said.
For two hours, Evgeny Tarelkin talked about space, life in conditions of weightlessness, everyday life in orbit, and his feelings. The cosmonaut also showed the children his film, shot during the flight, where he gave a detailed tour of the ISS. Questions from the audience came not only from the younger generation, but also from adults. According to the meeting participants, the conversation with the cosmonaut turned out to be interesting, informal, and two hours “flew by” unnoticed.
On the same day, Evgeny Tarelkin visited the state educational institution additional education children "Center for Children and Youth technical creativity Trans-Baikal Territory", where he met with director Sergei Ilyasov.
The cosmonaut handed the head of the institution the weightlessness indicator that was with him during the flight.
“There is a tradition among astronauts to take a toy with them. Maybe they saw something dangling in front of them when the rocket launched. This toy was dangling in front of us. From it we understood that we were already in weightlessness,” he said.
Evgeny Igorevich Tarelkin was born on December 29, 1974 in the village of Pervomaisky, Trans-Baikal Territory. In June 2010, he was assigned to the prime crew of ISS-33/34. In May 2012, he was a flight engineer for the backup crew of the Soyuz TMA-04M spacecraft. The same crew, consisting of Oleg Novitsky, Evgeny Tarelkin and Kevin Ford, launched to the International Space Station on October 23, 2012 as members of the main expedition ISS-33 on the Soyuz TMA-06M spacecraft. As part of the youth festival “Trajectory of Growth”, Evgeny Tarelkin sent his video message to the participants of the “Meeting with Heroes” site and promised to come to the meeting with the guys in person in May.
“I may disappoint someone, but as a child I did not have a global dream of becoming an astronaut. Yes, I wanted to become a pilot, but probably like most of my peers. I loved reading science fiction novels, imagining that I flew somewhere and discovered something there. But at the same time, I was a smart, serious child, I even wore glasses. And I understood that the astronauts have their own children, where I can get involved.
My father is a parachutist (father - Igor Tarelkin, pilot, test parachutist Hero of the Russian Federation - editor's note), I need to jump. Just tie the glasses tightly so they don’t fall off, and off you go.
About the fate of the astronaut
But when I finally became an astronaut, I realized that the curve one way or another led me to astronautics, since first I studied at the Gagarin school, then I studied at the Yuri Alekseevich Air Force Academy. Since 1998, he served as a senior on-board test engineer at the Russian State Research Testing Center for Cosmonaut Training, again named after Gagarin. I remember walking along the corridor one day, and the head of the center came towards me and asked why I didn’t write a report. The first thought in my head right away is: am I being fired? And he gave me a report for enrollment in the cosmonaut corps. I wrote, but I flew into space only 9.5 years after that. This suggests that the astronauts’ training is very serious.
About the launch of a space rocket
One of the most vivid impressions of the flight is the start. At this time, the astronaut experiences an overload of 4 units on the chest and back. This is essentially four of your weights, that is, four people like you were put on you. It's not really that difficult, but it's hard to breathe. But when the vibration starts, that’s when you start to feel the buzz. It’s as if someone’s gentle hands are taking you and throwing you up a little. What I didn’t know in advance is that when the rocket takes off, it starts to crunch and crack, it’s so scary that you think something’s going to burst! My partner Oleg Novitsky and I were both flying for the first time, and when the rocket started making such sounds, we looked at each other with round eyes. The third stage department is also something! During preparation, we were told a lot about this; we went through it a hundred times in the simulators. But in reality, the separation of the third foot can be described as follows: they hit you on the butt with all their might with a huge sledgehammer. We had a stuffed hippopotamus in a vest on board, and when we saw that it was hanging in the air, we realized that, thank God, we were in weightlessness. And immediately the Earth began to congratulate us on a successful start.
About weightlessness
When I was in space, what I missed most was gravity. After a week of flight, I was already so tired of weightlessness! I wanted to sit on the simplest chair. Here is a simple situation that happened at first: we were carrying out repair work at the station, we unscrewed one nut, the second, the tenth, and assembled them. And then you forget, you open this package, and they are like cockroaches in different directions. At first, such a cry was made from profanity on our part, and from the American side, by the way, too. In general, there is never a dull moment on board. All these six months we lived under a strict schedule. Every evening a radiogram arrived telling you what you would do tomorrow. For the first month and a half, when I still didn’t know where everything was at the station, I slept for two hours, as at night I prepared for the upcoming working day. 50 percent on board is repair work on the station, because it is already 12 years old and something needs to be changed, and the remaining 50 percent is experiments and observations.
About radiation
I spent 143 days in zero gravity and during this time I grew 4.5 cm there. This is all because there is no compression of the vertebrae and you stretch out. True, when you return to Earth, you return to your previous state. If we talk about radiation, there is a lot of it on board. I'll tell you a common case. When you fall asleep, you close your eyes, in the darkness you see flashes. This is precisely radiation. At such moments I especially want to say thank you magnetic field Earth, which protects us from radiation. When I returned from the flight, the doctors told me that I couldn’t have children for two years. But two years have already passed, maybe we’ll think about a third child, but to be honest, I’m here speaking not for quantity, but for quality. We have two daughters and we need to raise them, bring them to a high level.
About love for the Earth
While in space, I began to truly appreciate our Mother Earth. Before the flight, I was not at all a Greenpeace supporter, but, of course, I tried not to litter too much, but it was in space that I clearly understood that the Earth is our common home and we will not survive outside of this home. And now I take environmental issues very seriously. If I see someone littering, spitting on the street, or doing something else bad, I immediately start cursing.
About space food
There is almost no food left in tubes on board; only jam, mustard and condensed milk are delivered in them. Otherwise, we ate everything we wanted there: fried potatoes, mushrooms, and various fish. Of course, initially all the food is sublimated, that is, dehydrated, but you don’t really notice it. Add some water and eat with gusto. My favorite space food was creamy pea soup. With such a diet, some astronauts even gained weight, but I personally did a lot of sports, so I even lost weight. Why sport on board? In zero gravity, blood circulation works differently - almost no blood flows to the legs. Muscle degradation is underway. Then it’s very difficult to recover on Earth if you don’t train in space—you don’t run on a track, you don’t ride a bike.
About holidays in space
I was lucky enough to celebrate two holidays at once in space - New Year and birthday. For the New Year, they sent us festive food by transport ship, even black caviar. And for my birthday I managed to make a cake. He took a tortilla, spread it with honey, and put another tortilla on top. They even found candles on board, though not 39, but only three, but nothing. That’s how we celebrated – with tea and cake. We exclude alcohol.
About the nickname
At the station we didn’t wash like we did on earth. We just wiped ourselves with wet wipes. It’s doubly difficult for those who have thick facial hair, like me. After all, in zero gravity, hair and nails grow much faster than on Earth. Once I didn’t shave or get a haircut for a week, during which time I grew so big that they even gave me a nickname - Yeti. I really looked like Bigfoot. I looked in the mirror, and there were such thickets, only the nose and ears were sticking out, and the eyes and mouth could be seen opening.
About adaptation after the flight
After weightlessness on Earth, you are completely useless. After we hit the ground, I had to turn off the power to everything and hand over a piece of paper in regular A4 format, receiving the transmission from the descent module. So, when I started passing the piece of paper from hand to hand, I felt how incredibly heavy it was for me. After six months in zero gravity, everything feels different at home. Three hours after landing at the training center, everyone wanted to clink glasses with us for a successful return. And I constantly wanted to let go of my glass because in zero gravity it was like it was - you hold the mug, then you let go of it, it hung, and you went about your business, turned it around, and the mug was still hanging. The tools were handed over - they were thrown, and they themselves slowly swam. There was also a funny incident. I met the wife of a friend who had flown before me. I ask how is he, did he get away? And she said that everything was fine, only her husband almost stabbed her. It turns out that she asked him to give her the knife, and out of cosmic habit, he threw the knife in her direction...
About aliens
I really wanted to meet someone from an extraterrestrial race in space, I waited, but no green women came to me. I can’t speak for others, but I will note that six months in a confined space still takes its toll. And if you are an impressionable and faint-hearted person, then you yourself can come up with an incomprehensible phenomenon. I once felt like the cartoon character Tiny Raccoon. I photographed the ground through the porthole, dozed off during this, and when I woke up, I saw that from the back of the porthole large green eyes were looking at me from the darkness. It became very scary at that moment, and then I realized that it was my own reflection. In general, I hope that there is life somewhere else besides Earth.”
Hero of Russia, cosmonaut, true Transbaikalian. And now he is also a candidate for deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Trans-Baikal Territory - the first on the regional list of the United Russia party. We have collected several interesting facts about our famous fellow countryman Evgeny Tarelkin.
About family
Evgeny Igorevich Tarelkin was born on December 29, 1974 in the village of Pervomaisky, Shilkinsky district, Chita region. His father is Hero of Russia, famous test parachutist Igor Evgenievich Tarelkin. He served in helicopter aviation units of the Trans-Baikal Military District and fought in Afghanistan. Mom, Lyudmila Fedorovna, nurse.
Evgeniy says that his parents always helped him and supported him in all his endeavors - sometimes despite their own fears. Evgeniy himself has two daughters - Alisa and Anna. As the astronaut himself admits, he would not want girls to follow in his footsteps:
“It’s very difficult for parents.” I taught my friends this idea almost from childhood.
About space
Tarelkin became a candidate for the cosmonaut corps in 2003, and in 2005 he qualified as a test cosmonaut and took his rightful place in the corps. October 23, 2012 spaceship Soyuz TMA-06M, carrying flight engineer Evgeny Tarelkin, took off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Along with Evgeniy, the crew included commander Oleg Novitsky and second flight engineer Kevin Ford (USA). On board international space station The cosmonauts stayed until March 15, 2013.
– The first impression is the most vivid. The rocket takes off, the G-force is 4.5 units, it’s hard to breathe. And then it turns out that when taking off, the rocket makes terrible sounds - crunching, crackling. As if something is about to burst.
There was no time for boredom on the ISS: the schedule was tight, there was a lot of work. For the first month and a half, Evgeniy slept for two hours, otherwise there was a risk of not getting anything done. Most Observations and experiments took time. In six months, the crew carried out more than 50 of them. The rest of the time it was necessary to repair something; the safety of flights, both current and future, depends on this.
About fears
Pilot, cosmonaut, diver and parachutist Tarelkin says that he is afraid... of heights, depths and confined spaces. And black holes, of course. Like all normal people!
– Well, of course, I was afraid that they would replace it right before the flight. I exhaled when the hatch was closed - that’s it, they won’t get it anymore!
The crew of Tarelkin, Novitsky and Ford had a mascot - a toy hippopotamus in a vest. It was he who, being the first to take off into the air, made the astronauts understand: they were already in weightlessness. And Evgeniy’s personal talisman was his grandfather’s shoulder strap, after whom he was named. Evgeny Alekseevich Tarelkin went to the front at the age of 17, was a tank driver, and reached Berlin. Grandfather is long gone, and the shoulder straps are a family heirloom.
About space food
Space tubes have long gone out of fashion. Now astronauts are fed “earthly” food, only freeze-dried. The food is delivered to the station in special containers, and then you just need to add water. And here you have, for example, potatoes with fried fish. Although there were still difficulties with some dishes.
- I’m from Chita, we all love dumplings. But there were none on the ISS. When it was time to go down, my wife asked me what to cook? I dreamed of dumplings, Olivier salad and pickled mushrooms. I miss them very much.
About jumping
Evgeniy wanted to be like his father - a military pilot, parachutist. Evgeniy made his first jump at the age of 12. It wasn’t easy: the paratrooper’s weight must be at least 50 kilograms, and Zhenya weighed 48. But a couple of sandbags solved the problem. And only fear remained - not to disgrace the father’s name. Since then, Evgeny Tarelkin has already made more than 1,500 jumps, holds the title of parachute training instructor and can pilot several different types airplanes.
About Transbaikalia
The place of birth, Evgeniy Igorevich believes, is not just a point on the map. This is a space of power, a forever home - even when you are in space. Tarelkin is sure that every visit to Transbaikalia adds to his health.
– And I really want to do something for the people of Transbaikal. Something useful for the entire region. We do not have the advantages that the central regions of the country have, but I definitely believe that the Trans-Baikal Territory deserves a better share. And if I can do something for this, I will do it.
About pride
Evgeny Tarelkin became the first candidate for the “Pride of Transbaikalia” award. And rightfully so. He himself believes that this in itself is a reason for pride.
– This is a special reward! I probably won’t even take it off!
About "United Russia"
Evgeniy is a non-partisan. But he supports United Russia and considers himself an active supporter. Therefore, I accepted the offer to become a candidate made by the Shilka branch of the party. And he successfully won the preliminary vote.
– My father and many of my friends are members of United Russia. And becoming deputies is nothing new for astronauts: there are cosmonaut deputies in the State Duma. Moreover, most of them are from United Russia: Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova, Maxim Suraev, Roman Romanenko, Elena Serova.
About elections
Evgeny Tarelkin is confident that his fame will benefit the Trans-Baikal Territory.
– I see my role as a deputy in helping to solve Transbaikal issues at the federal level, looking for resources, working for people. That's why I'm going to the polls.
About dreams
As a child, Evgeniy dreamed of heaven and fulfilled his dream. And I am very glad that even today boys and girls dream of becoming pilots and astronauts. You just need to dream actively, he believes: develop, work on yourself, strive to make the world around you better. - And then everything will work out! Everyone has their own path to the stars, you just need to believe in yourself.
