Single page, large format at 13 ½" x 8 ¾". The artwork features the iconic portrait of Yuri Gagarin in his space suit helmet and, above it, the emblem of Звездный городок ("Star Town"), the name commonly used for the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in the suburbs of Moscow. The diploma was issued to Ozerova for "many years of hard work handling the cosmonauts' correspondence, and on occasions of the thirty-fifth anniversary of the first space flight and the 8th of March" (International Women's Day celebrated in Russia). The diploma bears the seal of the Center, and is hand-signed by cosmonaut Pyotr Klimuk, then Lieutenant General of Aviation and Chief of the Center.

In excellent condition. No wear to report except for a tiny rip to the top edge, not reaching the header, not easily noticeable and not detractive.

Pyotr Klimuk's first space flight was on Soyuz-13 in 1973, followed by a mission to the Salyut-4 space station on Soyuz 18 in 1975. Those two flights made him twice Hero of the Soviet Union. From 1986 he became involved in the Intercosmos program, and made his third and final flight with the Polish cosmonaut Miroslaw Hermaszewski on Soyuz-30. After resigning from the cosmonaut team, he took up the position of Assistant to the Chief of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. In 1991 he was promoted to Chief of the Center and remained in this post until he retired in 2003.
