The space race was a decade when the USA and the Soviet Union were engaged in a heated competition to see who could make the furthest advancements into space first. The USSR effectively "lost" when they could not duplicate the Apollo moon program.
With the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the collaborative efforts that began with Apollo-Soyuz were extended. Primarily, Russia could no longer afford an expensive manned presence in space and was content with participation in the ISS. The Zarya module intended for "Mir-2" was instead used as the primary ISS platform in 1998.
