And the stress wasn't limited to crew members either. When it comes to relations between the sexes, one woman's insult is another woman's flattery. Dr. Tatiyana Agaptseva, a Russian physician, lived in the isolation chamber for a week. She had two male subordinates. I would say that overall, a Russian woman cannot have any problem in the company of 10 men.
Russian women know how to turn any situation to their own advantage.
I would say that I am really sorry for women who are fighting for equality with men. Personally I liked the way I was discriminated in the chamber. Canadian physician, Dr. Judith Lapierre, tells a different tale. She was in the chamber for 110 days. Somebody pulled me by my arm and tried to kiss me.
