I think that during the Cold War the Soviet Union may have drafted some conceptual proposals onsending their space probes to Mercury and the far outer planets like Uranus and beyond, but as I don't know Russian language so I would like to know that whether I'm correct that the CCCP has actually drafted the proposals about those conceptual missions, and if they did are those available online w. translation?

While there Venera missions were successful, were there Mars missions always some kind of a total disaster...
