Seems like the article suggests this cosmonaut has been passed over for his Gold Star because he keeps a blog and may not be the government's biggest friend. It wouldn't surprise me they would pas him over for that..

I am also ambivalent about all cosmonauts getting the distinction. Space flight has definitely gotten safer etc. But then, they gave the Gold Star to Ramzan Kadyrov..so could be worse lol.
