I have to confess, though, the recording of the 'dying female cosmonaut' was the creepiest few seconds of audio I've ever heard.

The Soviets were in a win or lose situation against internal discord within the ranks of political/military leaders and the USA's growing power and influence. Add to this the Soviets amazing ability of whitewashing anything that made them look bad and I couldn't think of anything that could truly shame them in the World arena then to be humiliated then by losing one of their prized cosmonauts. Who knows maybe someday someone will find a Soviet era tin can with the body of a poor man/woman mummified with a Hammer and Sickle patch on their suit.
