Mass Media constantly invite Alexander Kubasov for interviews and conversations dedicated to the “Buran” project. One of the anniversary meetings, on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the event, is presented in a conversation with Alexander Kubasov in Television Ladies Club on NTV+ channel, which can be viewed on our YouTube (russian language).

Alexander wrote and at the end of 2024 published a book titled “Tulips from Baikonur”. The book was written on the basis of personal impressions of the Buran flight. The event was great, not repeated until now. Many of its participants left memories about it in their articles and books. As a rule, they emphasize the technical features (uniqueness) of the project.
The idea of the book is to pass the romantic mood of that time, to revive the creative spirit of the gone era, to honor the memory of specialists and managers who were able to implement fantastic engineering projects such as “Buran”. You can watch the video from the book presentation on our YouTube channels on links (russian language). You can read and purchase the book on the Ridero publisher’s page by clicking here (russian language).
