| Summary/Abstract |
ANATOLY DOBRYNIN'S unprecedentedly long (24 years) mission as head of the Soviet Embassy to the United States and the fast scientific and technological developments in the sphere of space research can become the subjects of many articles. This article is limited by the period between the early 1960s when he was appointed Ambassador to the United States and the first Soviet-American "handshake in space" in 1975 that opened the road toward practical international cooperation in outer space. Here I will only partially touch on the immeasurably big contribution of scientists into tuning up the Soviet-American relations in this sphere.
