Abstract

This work aims to provide a brief historical summary of the Russian inside scenario that led to the dispute between the United States of America and Soviet Union from a probable nuclear war to the development of an advanced aerospace science which took man to the conquest of space through a race between both nations for the sovereignty of the stars. In our research we approach the process of transforming the outdated science of the agricultural Russian Empire into the overdeveloped Soviet cosmonaut science in just 40 years, focusing on the contradictions and mishaps that the science and the Russian academy had suffered in such a short period of time.
