Aleksandr Lazutkin is a former Russian cosmonaut, born on 30 October 1957, who graduated in mechanical engineering from the Moscow Aviation Institute and was selected as a cosmonaut in 1992. His first and only spaceflight was Soyuz TM-25, as flight engineer, in 1997, a stay of 184 days. He was aboard the Mir Space Station when a Progress cargo craft collided with it in 1997, which Wikipedia calls the worst collision of the space age.
