Mir (Мир, which can mean both world and peace in Russian) was a Soviet (and later Russian) orbital station. It was humanity's first consistently inhabited long-term research station in space. Mir currently holds the record for longest continuous human presence in space at eight days short of 10 years. Through a number of collaborations, it was made internationally accessible to cosmonauts and astronauts of many different countries. Mir was assembled in orbit by successively connecting several modules, each launched separately from February 19, 1986 to 1996. The station existed until March 23, 2001, at which point it was deliberately de-orbited, and broke apart during atmospheric re-entry.

The first Russian (Soviet) space station was called Salyut. It's successor was called Mir. Both of them have been abandoned and have re-entered the atmosphere of the Earth. Salyut means "Salute" and Mir means "World" or "Peace".

It is "MIR" - pronounce m-ee-r, means "world" in Russian
But they destroyed it, it got too old...
