Soyuz TM-29, launched February 20, 1999, was the 38th mission to Mir.  Its crew consisted of Commander Viktor Afanasyev, Flight Engineer Jean-Pierre Haignere (France), and Research Cosmonaut Ivan Bella (Slovakia).   Bella is the first Slovak citizen to go into space.  He stayed on Mir for about a week and returned to Earth on Soyuz TM-28.

Afanasyev and Haignere remained on board until August 28 and returned with fellow cosmonaut Sergei Avdeyev.

I could not find a video of Soyuz TM-29 anywhere.
