No, he still tries to say that there are two versions of
the story, both substantially supported. Yet he must 
name one of them lie. He must confess that Komarov had
reasonable chance to believe in successful landing,
that Komarov never asked Kosygin to help his family,
that Gagarin never asked to be put in the space suit and
that Golovanov never told this etc.

In a sense, a researcher sure he cannot believe any 
Soviet document just should not write on Soviet matters.
