Fascinating time in Soviet space program history. They were sent on virtual suicide missions in a desperate attempt to keep pace with the USA.

It is a big question who was trying to keep pace.

AFAIK, Vladimir Komorov was the only Cosmonaut who perished.

Of course there may have been others, but the Soviets tended not to report bad news.
