Special features of the Soyuz TM-12 mission
Arzebarskyj was stationed on the Mir during the dissolution of the Soviet Union . It started on May 18, 1991 and witnessed the election of Boris Yeltsin as president, the coup in Moscow and the Ukraine's declaration of independence in space .
For political reasons, instead of the planned long-term replacement from Russia, the Kazakh Toqtar Aubäkirov was sent to the Mir in October 1991 , a cosmonaut with no long-term experience who returned to Earth after eight days. The cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev , who is already living on the Mir station, had to extend his stay by half a year. The Russians were responding to a demand from the soon-to-be-independent Republic of Kazakhstan , on whose territory the Baikonur Cosmodrome is located.
Arzebarskyj is married and has four children.
