The last citizen of the USSR, who was forgotten in space. It sounds like the title of a science fiction novel adapted by Steven Spielberg. In fact, this is the true story of Russian astronaut Sergey Krikalyov.

He is in space when the Soviet Union is collapsing. While tanks roll through Moscow's Red Square, people and soldiers build barricades and fortifications, and Mikhail Gorbachev and the Soviet Union will remain just a page of history, Sergei Krikalyov is in Space. At this point, he cannot return to Earth. He was simply refused to be sent back.
The Mir space station, whose position is 350 km from planet Earth, becomes his temporary home.

It was then that he received the nickname "the last citizen of the USSR." But this was not the worst that could have happened to the astronaut. The Soviet Union disintegrates into 15 separate countries in 1991, and he is informed that he cannot return home because the country that promised to take him home no longer exists.
