No?  "In English-speaking nations, a professional space traveler is called an astronaut."  "By convention, an astronaut employed by the Russian Federal Space Agency (or its Soviet predecessor) is called a cosmonaut in English texts."

This is from the article you linked.

To clear the confusion, here's the question: did he go to space in Russian/Soviet project?

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

I'm paging through articles on Russian cosmonauts from other countries and all of them are weirdly still alive.

Was he born in Russia? (I figure Eastern Russia doesn't count as Europe)

I have the unfair advantage of sharing a timezone with you.
Does that mean it's my turn?
