What do Russians call people who go to space?

Russians typically refer to people who go to space as "космонавты" (kosmonavty), a term that translates to "cosmonauts" in English. This term is used specifically for individuals trained for space travel, particularly in the context of the Soviet and Russian space programs. The Word "космос" (kosmos) means "space," and "навт" (navt) is derived from the Greek Word for sailor, thus meaning "sailor of space."
