Launch from Baikonur; landing in the Ural-Mountains (180 km northeast of Perm, west of Berezniki).

First EVA in the aera of human spaceflights by Leonov (24m). The EVA was broadcasted in the Soviet TV. But his spacesuit ballooned and he had problems to return than back into the capsule. So he had to bleed air from the suit in order to get into the airlock.

Many problems during the landing. The primary automatic retrorocket system failed, so the retrofire had to be manually controlled and it was incorrect. The service module failed to separate completely and spacecraft landed far away (1000 km) from the planned landing site in a heavy forest and deep snow. The crew spent two nights in deep woods, surrounded by wolves. Rescue troops need hours to found them, but weren't able to rescue them, because the helicopter couldn't land. Recovery crews had to chop down trees to clear landing zones for helicopter recovery of the crew, who had to ski to the clearing from the spacecraft. The capsule itself was recovered several days later. The recovery lasted double long, than the spaceflight.

With all this problems, the flight of Voskhod 2 was the swan song for the actually Soviet space program and their chief Korolov.
