According to the report, the two astronauts began the spacewalk at 17:58 Moscow time on April 28, which took 7 hours and 42 minutes to complete a series of tasks.

A spokesman for the Russian Space Agency said the idea of displaying a replica of the victory flag in space came from Russian cosmonaut Artemiev.

According to TASS, the Victory Flag was raised by the Red Army on May 1, 1945 at the Reichstag in Berlin, Germany, and is considered a symbol of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. Currently, the original flag of the Victory Flag is on display at the museum in Moscow.
