Roscosmos said in a statement on its website that Major General Leonov died on Friday (local time).
A Russian Air Force pilot selected to be part of the first cosmonaut group in 1960, Major General Leonov performed his spacewalk on March 18, 1965, when he exited his Voskhod 2 capsule, secured by a tether.
"I gently pulled myself out and kicked off from the vessel," he told AFP in 2015.
