On the website of Roscosmos, the section with the songs of the ex-head of the state company Dmitry Rogozin has ceased to open. This happened after he was fired.
The song section appeared on the Roscosmos website in 2020. In addition to Rogozin's compositions, one could listen to songs by his wife Tatyana and other authors. As Rogozin himself said in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, he composes songs mainly on business trips:
“It’s just that I’m used to not resting, but switching activities. And since my work involves frequent business trips, I spend many hours on airplanes. These are long trips - either to the Vostochny Cosmodrome, then to Baikonur, then to Irkutsk, to an aircraft factory ... Therefore, while some passengers on the liner or on the train are sleeping, I try to distract myself with creativity from the things that I have to think about all the time ... ".
The main theme of Rogozin's work is space. However, in addition to this, his discography contains songs about the "return" of Sevastopol and Transnistria. In 2019, a song about the Buran spacecraft based on Rogozin's lyrics was performed in the Kremlin on Cosmonautics Day.
Vladimir Putin fired Rogozin from the post of head of Roskosmos on July 15. Yuri Borisov was appointed General Director of the corporation. Previously, he served as Deputy Prime Minister.
