Mahdi,
I don't remember the site from which I got the letter, and I don't know where the original is. However, I think this letter demonstrates outstanding courage of those cosmonauts. It is almost unthinkable act in the USSR - to point up on defects in the industry, and military and political leadership. Absolutely amazing.
2 diplomas commemorate prominent Soviet figures
Korolev Diploma
Awarded by the FAI Astronautic Records Commission, the Korolev Diploma was established in 1988 and one may be given each year to technicians or engineers having worked in orbit or on a celestial body in building structures and/or their equipment, or in a non-planned restoration or repair of a broken device to make possible the continuation of a mission, and, on this occasion, having demonstrated human work in space.

Under the banner of Marxism-Leninism, under the leadership of the Communist Party--forward to new victories in the construction of communism!
