UNDERSTANDING RUSSIA (new cultural course, no knowledge of Russian language required)– 

https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/courses/understanding-russia 

Here is the transcript:

Программа космических полётов России имеет долгую и богатую историю и уходит корнями ещё во времена СССР. Главные советские достижения – это, конечно, запуск первого спутника и отправка в космос первого человека, Юрия Гагарина. Программа также сыграла важную роль в космической гонке холодной войны с Соединёнными Штатами.

В последние годы российская космическая программа продолжает работать и достигать успехов. Она запускала множество спутников и космических аппаратов, включая космический корабль "Союз". Россия также управляет своей собственной космической станцией "Мир" и имеет планы для будущих пилотируемых миссий на Луну.

Вот несколько российских рекордов:

  • Самый длительный полёт был осуществлён Валерием Поляковым на станции "Мир", который длился 437 суток, 17 часов, 58 минут и 17 секунд.
  • Рекорд по общему времени, проведённому в орбите, принадлежит Геннадию Падалке, составляющий 878 суток, 11 часов, 29 минут и 36 секунд; он был зарегистрирован Международной аэронавтической федерацией (ФАИ) в сентябре 2015 года.
  • Космонавт Анатолий Соловьёв совершил 16 выходов в открытый космос, проведя в общей сложности 78 часов и 48 минут в открытом космосе.

Translation:

The Russian space program has a long and rich history dating back to the times of the USSR. The main Soviet achievements include, of course, launching the first satellite and sending the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space. The program also played a significant role in the Cold War space race with the United States.

In recent years, the Russian space program has continued to operate and achieve successes. It has launched numerous satellites and spacecraft, including the Soyuz spacecraft. Russia also operates its own space station, "Mir," and has plans for future manned missions to the Moon.

Here are some Russian records:

  • The longest spaceflight was conducted by Valery Polyakov on the "Mir" station, which lasted 437 days, 17 hours, 58 minutes, and 17 seconds.
  • The record for the total time spent in orbit belongs to Gennady Padalka, totaling 878 days, 11 hours, 29 minutes, and 36 seconds; it was registered by the International Aeronautical Federation (FAI) in September 2015.
  • Cosmonaut Anatoly Solovyev conducted 16 spacewalks, spending a total of 78 hours and 48 minutes in open space.

Here is the transcript:

КГБ существовал с 1954 по 1991 год и служил основным органом безопасности СССР. Он занимался внутренней и внешней безопасностью, разведкой и контрразведкой.

На протяжении Холодной войны КГБ занимался шпионажем, пропагандой и поддержкой коммунистических движений по всему миру. 

Он был распущен в 1991 году вместе с распадом Советского Союза. Преемником стала Федеральная служба безопасности (ФСБ), которая продолжает свою роль в российской безопасности и разведке. 

Translation:

The KGB, active from 1954 to 1991, served as the primary security agency of the Soviet Union, handling internal and external security, intelligence, and counterintelligence.

Throughout the Cold War, the KGB engaged in espionage, propaganda, and support for communist movements globally. 

Dissolved in 1991 with the Soviet Union, it was succeeded by the Federal Security Service (FSB), which continues its role in Russian security and intelligence.
