Aleksei Stanislavovich Yeliseyev (Russian: Алексей Станиславович Елисеев; born 13 July 1934) is a retired Soviet cosmonaut who flew on three missions in the Soyuz programme as a flight engineer: Soyuz 5 , Soyuz 8, and Soyuz 10. He made the world´s eighth spacewalk during Soyuz 5 in 1969.
Aleksei´s father was Lithuanian with the last name Kuraitis, who died in the Soviet´s Gulag as an enemy of the people. Aleksei uses his mother´s last name "Yeliseyev" so some regard him as also being a Lithuanian cosmonaut.
