[FPSPACE] Did the Soviets have the Vostok/Soyuz design back in 1949?

[LARRY KLAES]

I know, but I was struck by the similarities regardless of the dimensional differences. I also wonder if any of the Soviet rocket makers were influenced by this work? Or were they actually consultants on this book? Note it came out at the same time as von Braun, Ley, and Bonestell's pivotal work in the West.

Only in that they knew about spheres back then.  The illustrations are of a much larger interplanetary ship.
