Evgeniy Chertanovskiy was a Soviet Russian inventor who designed the first full pressure suit in Leningrad in 1931. The CH-1 was a simple pressure-tight suit with helmet which did not have joints, thus requiring substantial force to move the arms and legs when pressurised. This was remedied in later suits.1 Chertanovskiy coined the name skafanders for full pressure suits from the Greek words skaf - boat,ship and andros - man; skafander has since become the term used by Russians to refer to standard diving dresses or space suits.
