Footage taken from Soyuz 4 showing Soyuz 5 docking. The undocking sequence is from Kosmos 186-188, an earlier uncrewed test. Hardware differences are very small (like a handrail or a antenna) to the actual Soyuz 4-5, so it's representative of the event. The undocking was filmed through the Periscope (BCK-4 Cosmonaut Visual System).
The original color was very faded and the original frame speed is unknown. Here it's presented at 24 fps, probably meaning a 2 or 4x speed up.
The Soyuz 4 and 5 spacecraft docked on 16 January, 1969 - a first for two crewed spacecraft. Crew members then space walked between spacecraft to transfer crew ([ Ссылка ]) . Cosmonauts: Vladimir Shatalov, Aleksei Yeliseyev, Yevgeny Khrunov
