So the Russian side of the ISS is going to be receiving a new laboratory here in the next few days. The "Nauka" module blasted off from Kazakhstan on 21 Jul 2021 and is expected to dock in the old PIRS port on the ISS. The PIRS module came back to Earth via the Progress M-77 and had a destructive re-entry after serving 19 years on the Russian Earth side of the ISS. See the link below for more details.
