Fun fact: according to his official biography, Bakanov was born in 1985 in Leninsk (Kazakhstan), which is the main residential area of Baikonur Cosmodrome: https://russianspaceweb.com/baikonur_town.html

Interestingly, former Roskosmos head Dmitry Rogozin, now in occupied Ukraine, while congratulating new chief also pointed out the failure of the dismissed leader to provide Russian army with Starlink replacement... which brings the question what prevented Rogozin from doing it?
