In Chapter 3 of the Doomed to Cooperate, Rodion Voznuyk of VNIITF at Snezhinsk authored a paper on his Institute’s WSSX cooperation. Because of space limitations, only a few photos and graphs that Voznyuk included in his manuscript made it to the printed copy. Here we publish all figures and photos that the author provided to illustrate his story.
