    "Shipka" (rosehip in bulgarian) is the name of a peak of the Balkan mountain, defended from storming ottoman army by bulgarian resistance in August of 1877 during Russian-Turkish war long after munitions and even boulders have finished so that they have to throw bodies of dead friends down the turkish soldiers just so to allow advancing russian armed forces to cross south of the mountain via nearby pass. That granit monument pictured on the cigarettes' package is actually the tomb of those resistance soldiers on top of this very mountain peak. By the time of that space flight "Shipka" was indeed the cheapest (in whole Warsaw pact, I guess) bulgarian brand of cigarettes produced mainly by orders from Soviet Union.

      @@SimonShaws They were two-way - no filter or cardboard mouthpiece. If you are at least 50, you may remember two-way Camel, but they were 80mm or king-size and Shipka and some other old-time bulgarian cheapies were shorter. They were made from discarded at initial quality chek oriental tobaco. You may have tested russian "Belomorcanal" or "Kazbek" with cardboard mouthpeace - they were worse than similar format french "Gitanes" - bulgarian s~it at least was made from oriental tobacos which is aromatic and suitable for smoking just after natural drying and fermentation. In Bulgaria there was another brand that was all of the same and of the same price but made by diferent factory - filterless "Arda" which wasn't exported. At that time they both cost BGN 0.35 - roughly $0.29. There were two even cheaper brands (also not exported) of the same format - "Dunaff" (Danube river) and "Yantra" (another river in Bulgaria) which cost BGN 0.25. Also of that short two-way format there were "Slantse" (Sun), made of premium lite tobaco and packeted in square cardboard case that opened from the wide flat side - it was BGN 0.45.
      After 1989 "Slantse" first lost its stylish casing second its premium tobaco and later on all of the socialism time cheapies were discontinued.

      Are you seriously unaware of the amount of force involved in those foam strikes? There are videos on this channel about it. Bottom line is the Shuttle was an extremely large, capable, and complex design with a lot more variables. The Soyuz is an extremely basic bit of 1950's engineering. Being about as complicated as a wood-burning stove allowed them to survive these sorts of failures. Comparing a simple little capsule to what amounts to a gigantic flying utility vehicle with 100 times the capability is pretty silly.
