"Avdeyev and Solovyov moved the VDU to the work site and prepared the
Sofora girder on September 3. EVA duration was 3 hr, 56 min. On
September 7 the cosmonauts bent Sofora back on a hinge at one-third of
its length to make its top more accessible, and laid a control cable
along the girder. They also removed the remnants of the Soviet flag
placed on the mast during its assembly in 1991. It had been reduced to
shreds by UV degradation and orbital debris and meteoroid impacts."
Oh, I've got to add that to my model of Mir!
