The story "Cosmic Gulf Stream" is included in the collection "Sensation on Mars".

Brief summary of the work (opening the spoiler, you only have yourself to blame!) Heroes of Vasily Berezhny's story "Cosmic Gulf Stream" (Cosmic Gulf Stream, 1978) in the eighth year of the Viking’s flight in the vastness of outer space they find themselves in the gravitational field of some unknown object, possibly a black hole. The plot of the story is somewhat reminiscent of the expanded plot of the writer’s long-standing story “Space Niagara.” Here, too, the heroes are sucked into the unknown by an unknown force of the Universe, and in the flow of this force, the astronauts encounter inexplicable time paradoxes: aging, repetition of days passed, etc. But, unlike the story, here the heroes are ultimately thrown into another Universe, where they find an earth-like planet and found a new civilization on it. P.S. One of the heroes of the story was called none other than Sakyo Matsu. This really reminds me of the name of the famous Japanese science fiction writer...
