    something similar happened in the USSR, but only due to its collapse. The story of Sergei Krikalev is a very sad one and an inspiration for a lot of sovietwave/doomer art. he went into space a cosmonaut for the greatest country on earth, but it collapsed while he was up there.

    since the whole collapse was so devastating it took a bit of time before the Russian Federation was even able to organize a rescue. he was supposed to only be in space 100 days but it was extended to 311 days.
