Скачать или смотреть The last soviet citizen

In May 1991, the Soviets launched a space rocket with cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev aboard, on a mission to dock with the Mir space station. He successfully reached the station, but shortly after he arrived, the Soviet Union broke apart. The plan was to return to Earth in October, but because of his country literally stopped existing and since the old Soviet Baikonur launch site was now part of independent Kazakhstan — his return was delayed to an unknown date. He went to space as a Soviet citizen, but he was going to come back to Earth as a Russian citizen after spending almost a year on Mir Space Station. He even joked about this fun fact in a BBC interview by saying he was the last Soviet citizen .
