“Two wrongs don’t make a right”
It was a different time of a civilised front, and uncivilised duplicity by each of the Superpowers towards one another, it was during the time Khrushchev had Kennedy assassinated over the Cuban Missile Crisis and the climate of fear in the USSR post Stalin, it is possible that in the fear of recrimination over the death of Cosmonaut Valentin Bondarenko, the Soviet Scientists experimenting with liquid oxygen environments for Vostock and Voskhod space craft after becoming aware that the Americans were doing the same, feared the consequences of the death of Bondarenko the Cosmonaut they experimented on, when there was a fire in the pure oxygen pressure chamber, they blamed the American’s possibly rightly so embedding a surreptitious ignition source in the story from the Intel they received from the US as an out seizing on this Khrushchev argued that if the American’s killed one Cosmonaut, they in return will kill two American Astronauts, yes compressed air is safer to work in but a complex environment, to implement in space, an Oxygen environment though simpler to implement just needs one ignition source look at the Apollo 1 fire, a horrible end that was in a pure oxygen environment. Another reason why not to smoke, you will never be accepted into NASA. Roscosmos or as a Taikonaut.

RIP Sergei Korolev.

This table shows the tit-for-tat deaths that the Soviet Union and Americans were responsible for:
