What has been happening to the Russian space agency is a travesty. From 2018 to 2022 the Director General of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, was an actual Sieg Heiling neo-Nazi. He was also a co-founder of the ultra-nationalist party Rodina that wants to ban Jewish organizations and buildings in Russia:

Imagine letting a Sieg Heiling neo-Nazi run the legacy of the Soviet space program.



It's easy to imagine because the US did just that with NASA, except with an OG-Nazi instead of a neo-Nazi

von Braun didn't run US space program. He was in charge of rocket development. And why mention von Braun without mentioning the similar effort by the Soviets?
