A Soviet space skafander in the Museum of Cosmonautics, Moscow.

This article includes the list of Russian and Soviet cosmonauts, both ethnic Russians and people of other ethnicities, who took part in the missions of the Soviet space program and the Russian Federal Space Agency.

While all Soviet and RKA cosmonauts were born within the borders of the U.S.S.R., many were born outside the boundaries of Russia, and may be claimed by other Soviet successor states as nationals of those states. These cosmonauts are marked with an asterisk and their place of birth is shown in an appended list. All, however, claimed Soviet or Russian citizenship at the time of their space flights.

For the full plain lists of Russian and Soviet cosmonauts in Wikipedia, see Category:Russian cosmonauts and Category:Soviet cosmonauts.
