  Georgi Beregovoi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georgi Timofeyevich Beregovoi (Russian: Георгий Тимофеевич Береговой; April 15, 1921, Fedorovka, Donetsk Oblast of Ukrainian SSR – June 30, 1995) was a Soviet cosmonaut of Ukrainian descent.
Beregovoi's flight in Soyuz 3 was less than successful, and he was never selected to fly another mission.
Georgi Beregovoi was awarded two Orders of Lenin, two Orders of the Red Banner, Order of Alexander Nevsky, Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky (3rd Class), Order of the Patriotic War (1st Class), two Orders of the Red Star, and numerous medals.
