Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

When I was a child, I had these (still have) books from Progress, Raduga and Mir publishers. One of them was on outer space and Russian space scientists. I immediately recognized Tsiolkovsky's name.

I wonder if things would have been any different if these scientists had lived in a freer country?

Likely at least some would have had successful careers as stockbrokers.

The Firebird, The Silver Horse-shoe, Raggity and the Cloud, Folk Tales from the Soviet Union (multiple volumes), The Ant and The Pigeon, Dunno and Friends (I think), When Daddy was a little boy, Outer Space or Bust - these are some of them.
