INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Two Russian cosmonauts landed in Kazakhstan Monday, ending a record-breaking stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS).Oleg
Soyuz MS-25 capsule carrying the three landed in Kazakhstan at 16:59 local time, an official broadcast of the landing showed.The absolute
record for the longest unbroken time any human has spent in space belongs to Russia's Valeri Polyakov, who spent 438 days on the Mir space
station between 1994 and 1995.Russia has vowed to quit the ISS, which it says has outlived its purpose, and is planning to launch its own
new partnerships with countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.In a rare form of cooperation between Washington and Moscow amid
tensions over Ukraine, U.S
and Russian astronauts jointly stay aboard the ISS and Russian Soyuz craft ferry them to and from the station.The ISS spans the size of a
football field and orbits some 250 miles above the Earth.A Message from The Moscow Times:Dear readers,We are facing unprecedented challenges
