Kononenko promised Khabensky to lay a new tradition of cosmonauts

The tradition of astronauts to watch the "White Sun of the Desert" before the flight seems to be known to everyone. The cult film with Turkmen landscapes has even become a practical guide for camerawork, which is also taught to cosmonauts. However, not for filming films on the ISS (although this happens), but for recording videos on various projects. Another preflight tradition will soon be laid by a native of Turkmenabat – Hero of Turkmenistan and Russia, head of the cosmonaut squad Oleg Kononenko. This time, he and his colleagues from the upcoming new operation will watch not only movies, but also go to the theater.
