...projected series of supply missions to their new manned space station called Mir (Peace). The unmanned cargo vessel Progress 25, boosted into orbit by a workhorse Proton rocket booster, hooked up on Friday with Mir, bringing food, fuel, water and other supplies to Cosmonauts Leonid Kizim and Vladimir Solovyev, whose own Soyuz T-15 spacecraft docked with the orbiting space station on March...
Then came Mir. On March 13, the Soviets sent veteran Cosmonauts Kizim, 44, and Solovyev, 39, aloft on Soyuz T-15 to activate the space platform, which had been launched into a slightly elliptical 210-mile-high orbit three weeks earlier.* The subsequent rendezvous marked a milestone: the establishment of what the Soviets have heralded as the first permanently manned space station. According to current estimates, the first comparable U.S. station will not be operational before...

Beneath the plume of a red-and-white chute one morning last week, a capsule drifted earthward carrying three cosmonauts, Leonid Kizim, 43, Vladimir Solovyev, 38, and Oleg Atkov, 35, to the arid steppes of Soviet Kazakhstan. The triumphant trio, who had been aloft since last February aboard an orbiting Soviet space station, were the possessors of a new space endurance record: a 237-day spin through the heavens.* A more important trophy was the cache of information gathered from experiments...

The most alert and healthy-looking was Atkov, a cardiologist who had kept close watch on the condition of his crewmates. Mission Commander Kizim and Engineer Solovyev looked pale and haggard, but happy to be home. "We feel well," insisted Kizim, lying back in a chair...
...those who wonder what Russians sing besides the Volga Boatman and Ochi Chernyia, Vasili Pavlovich Solovyev-Sedoi, Russia's top Tin Pan Alley man, has the answer. Sedoi's simple, easy-to-hum melodies flow constantly out of Russian radios. In restaurants and cabarets, couples sway nightly to such Sedoi hits as Nightingale, It's Long Since We've Been Home. More important yet, Songwriter Sedoi manages to please Russia's culture cops, who regard dzhaz as "vulgar musical stew." This year, Sedoi won his second Stalin prize...
