I do remember though that the patch shows a young Fyodor, with one foot in his place of birth (Batumi, Georgia, at the border of the Black Sea). Another star symbolizes Moscow, where he followed part of his education (Moscow Aviation Institute). The 98 refers to 1998, the year he started cosmonaut training. Fyodor Yurchikin is a patch collector himself.
