    As far as I can tell this was intended to be a Venera probe, possibly it would have been Venera 9, but because it failed in earth orbit it was classified as “Kosmos”.

      Right, I’m just saying this one didn’t make it to Venus. But it would be interesting to see the remains of the other one today.
