Vasily Tsibliyev, born February 20, 1954, is a veteran of two Soyuz missions and served as commander of Mir. Selected as a cosmonaut in March 1987, Vasily first went into space on Soyuz TM-17, July 1993 - January 1994 as commander. It was the 17th mission to Mir.
His second and final flight was on Soyuz TM-25, from February - August 1997. During his command, a Progress spacecraft, an unmanned craft which ferries supplies to Mir, hit the space station, damaging Mir.
But the crew managed to save Mir. Watch the video below: I haven't found the continuation of it though.
