Yes, and the crew apparently underwent a much higher G load than usual, when returning back home (Soyuz 33).
I've noticed very few americans (even among those old enough to remember and among the spacenuts we are) know anything about the Soviet manned space program from after Leonov's spacewalk in 1965 till Mir in 1986. It's true the Soviets didn't announce flights in advance and the TV broadcasts were definitely not as good as NASA's and they didn't go to the Moon, but the reports and literature still abound and there were exciting moments like the Salyut 7 rescue by Soyuz T13.
In Europe, since 1978, countries have become involved with the Soviet space program but France for instance, in the unmanned space cooperation, got involved since the 60's and then in 1979, with the manned program. Maybe it helps to be between both the US and the Soviet manned space programs.
