50 years ago, the crew of the Soyuz-11 spacecraft, after the separation of the spacecraft's compartments, tragically died during landing. Cosmonauts Georgy Dobrovolsky, Vladislav Volkov and Viktor Patsaev returned without spacesuits; when the descent vehicle was depressurized at high altitude, they could not survive the conditions of the near-space rarefied atmosphere. The memory of their flight was immortalized in the names of three space ships of the Space Research Service fleet, but not all of the steel beauties were able to survive the "division of the Union". Today it is important to preserve the last "Patsaev" as a witness to the early era of space exploration.
When China's Chang'e 5 took off on its triumphant flight to clear lunar soil last year , it was escorted from Earth by the Yuan Wang series.

Only the military had one condition - before being transferred to Patriot, the ship must undergo a major overhaul. This requires about a billion rubles. The veterans of the space fleet do not have that much money, but they are holding on, and “Cosmonaut Viktor Patsaev” is still holding on with them, albeit in complete uncertainty. The ship is dilapidated, although it continues to accept excursions, but no one knows how long it will last, so if you are in Kaliningrad, do not miss the opportunity to look at this monument of a lost civilization.
