Basically, he is low on fuel and in a defective rocket, plummeting to earth as the chute malfunctions. 1967
I can't even imagine.

I can't even imagine.
quote:
Komarov was ordered to re-orient the craft using the ion system on orbits 15 to 17. The ion engine system failed. Komarov did not have enough time to attempt a manual re-entry until orbit 19. Manual orientation relied on using the equipped Vzor device, but in order to do this, Komarov needed to be able to see the Sun. To reach the designated landing site at Orsk the retro-fire would need to take place on the night side of the Earth. Komarov oriented the spacecraft manually on the dayside then used the gyro-platform as a reference so that he could orient the craft for a night side retro-fire.[27] He successfully re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on his 19th orbit, but the module's drogue and main braking parachute failed to deploy correctly and the module crashed into the ground, killing Komarov. According to the 1998 book Starman, by Jamie Doran and Piers Bizony, as Komarov sped towards his death, U.S. listening posts in Turkey picked up transmissions of him crying in rage, "cursing the people who had put him inside a botched spaceship'.

Dude this was 50 years ago, at least indicate that somewhere in your title.
I thought this was an active situation from the present tense.

A good start would be to change the title to read "Soviet cosmonaut". That way the reader knows going in this is a historic event and not a current event.

We have no idea how many Russian cosmonauts died during the Soviet era.
This gives credence to the Judica-Cordiglia brothers conspiracy.

If I remember correctly Yuri Gagarin was on the other side of that radio call.
Also they found all sorts of structural deficiencies and the commies made him fly anyway.
I don't know if I could live with myself after that...

The problem was Gagarin. Already a Soviet hero, the first man ever in space, he and some senior technicians had inspected the Soyuz 1 and had found 203 structural problems — serious problems that would make this machine dangerous to navigate in space. The mission, Gagarin suggested, should be postponed.
He'll die instead of me. We've got to take care of him.
Komarov talking about Gagarin
The question was: Who would tell Brezhnev? Gagarin wrote a 10-page memo and gave it to his best friend in the KGB, Venyamin Russayev, but nobody dared send it up the chain of command. Everyone who saw that memo, including Russayev, was demoted, fired or sent to diplomatic Siberia. With less than a month to go before the launch, Komarov realized postponement was not an option. He met with Russayev, the now-demoted KGB agent, and said, "I'm not going to make it back from this flight."
Russayev asked, Why not refuse? According to the authors, Komarov answered: "If I don't make this flight, they'll send the backup pilot instead." That was Yuri Gagarin. Vladimir Komarov couldn't do that to his friend. "That's Yura," the book quotes him saying, "and he'll die instead of me. We've got to take care of him." Komarov then burst into tears.

i can't tell from the picture, but was he a black or white cosmonaut?
i only ask because your posts typically have an agenda.

Eight years after Komarov's death, a story began circulating that Komarov cursed the engineers and flight staff, and spoke to his wife as he descended,[10] and these transmissions were received by an NSA listening station near Istanbul. Historians regard this to be untrue,[11] although a purported recording of the incident exists
