The Soyuz 10 was the world's first mission to the world's first space station, the Soviet Salyut 1 (launched on April 19). It was the first upgraded spacecraft with new docking mechanism, which allowed space station visits and internal crew transfer. The Soyuz 10 was launched to dock with Salyut 1 on April 22, 1971. Unfortunately, during docking the crew (Vladimir Shatalov, Aleksei Yeliseyev and Nikolai Rukavishnikov) faced with problems. The spacecraft failed to make a hard dock with the station and the undocking took more than a day. During the landing, the Soyuz air supply became toxic, and Nikolai Rukavishnikov was overcome and lost consciousness. The Soyuz 10 landed near Karaganda on April 24. It was the first night landing in the history of human spaceflights.

This photo album devoted to the construction of the Lower Svir Hydroelectric Station. According to the original project, three dams with hydroelectric power plants should have been built on the Svir River (the north-east from Leningrad). However only two of them were built. The construction started in 1927 and was headed by the engineer and one of the founders of the GOELRO plan Genrikh Graftio. In 1931 the concentration camp of Svirlag was established. Many convicts worked at the construction untill 1935. During WWII the dam was destroyed and restored after the war. The Upper Svir Hydroelectric Station was reopened only in 1952.

It is possible that the original image was taken during an ethnographic expedition in the late 19th century.Historically, during the Qing dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China, Tuva was part of Outer Mongolia known as Tannu Uriankhai. However, in 1911, Tuva broke away and established the Uryankhay Republic following the Xinhai Revolution, which led to the formation of the Republic of China. In 1914, Tuva became a Russian protectorate and later evolved into the nominally independent Tuvan People's Republic in 1921, officially known as Tannu Tuva until 1926. This republic was recognized only by its neighboring countries, the Soviet Union and Mongolia. However, in 1944, Tannu Tuva was annexed by the Soviet Union.
