It is based on the news coverage, speeches, and imagery that documented the mission and commemorated its success in issues of the Vietnamese People’s Army daily newspaper (Bao Quan Doi Nhan Dan) and the photo archives of the Vietnam News Agency (Thong Tan Xa Viet Nam). These sources reveal how Vietnamese put the symbolic ambiguity of Intercosmos to strategic use. On the one hand, their participation in the rituals of a kind of socialist “communion” confirmed their membership in a Soviet-led community. On the other hand, however, Vietnamese asserted a unique and independent role within that community.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья использует полёт Фам Туана в космос в июле 1980 г. в рамках программы Intercosmos, осуществлённой Советским Союзом, для изучения представления вьетнамцев о самих себе и своих отношениях с СССР в конечный период холодной войны. Статья основана на освещении новостей, выступлений и фотографий, посвящённых полёту и отразивших его успех, в выпусках ежедневной газеты Вьетнамской народной армии (Bao Quan Boi Nhan Dan) и фотоархивах Вьетнамского агенства новостей (Thong Tan Xa Viet Nam). Авторский анализ показывает, как вьетнамцы использовали символическую неопределённость Интеркосмоса для стратегических целей. С одной стороны, их участие в ритуалах своего рода социалистической «общности» подтверждало их принадлежность к советскому лагерю. С другой стороны, следует признать, что в этом сообществе вьетнамцы играли уникальную и независимую роль.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Vietnam</kwd><kwd>USSR</kwd><kwd>Cold War</kwd><kwd>international relations</kwd><kwd>Intercosmos</kwd><kwd>space exploration</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Вьетнам</kwd><kwd>СССР</kwd><kwd>холодная война</kwd><kwd>международные отношения</kwd><kwd>Интеркосмос</kwd><kwd>освоение космоса</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Gerovitch, Slava (2015).
