Captain of the ship Dobrovsskiy G.T., Volkov V.N., and Pazaev V.I..
Accomplished a connection with space station Salyut I, the first space station of long duration taken to the orbit. I had to learn how to operate that station, and that is why after the accident, which happened because the valve for the pressure balance opened and all the vaccum had flowed out and I took part in an investigation of the causes of this accident. I still have burned layiag of the opened hatch from that flight from the escape pod.
During the landing of the escape pad of Soyuz II, a group discovered an opened hatch, and tape of pink color with laying of transparent material.
According to the report of the investigation that was the cause of the depressuring.
