19 Jun 2014 14:10 7h 24m O.Artemyev and Skortsov; mission Soyuz TMA-12M; Exp. ISS-40
1st [of 2] EVA of the expedition ISS-40. The 43rd EVA from airlock Pirs.
The primary objectives of the spacewalk were focused at servicing the exterior of the Zvezda service module and the experiments mounted in that location. The two spacewalking cosmonauts installed an automated phased antenna array (AFAR), which will serve as part of the Russian command and telemetry system. They also relocated a part of the Obstanovka experiment - which is used to monitor the presence of charged particles and plasma in the environment of Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Other tasks included verifying the correct installation of the universal work platform (URM-D), taking samples from one of Zvezda′s windows, and jettisoning an experiment frame.

2nd [of 2] EVA of the expedition ISS-40. The 43rd EVA from airlock Pirs.
The cosmonauts deployed a nanosatellite, installed two experiment packages (EXPOSE-R and Plume Impingement Deposit Monitoring) and retrieved others (CKK#1, Vinoslivosk and Biorisk). In addition they installed holder on Automatic Phased Array (AFAR) antenna, took surface samples from a window on Zvezda and photographed Multi-Layer Insulation from the exterior of the Russian ISS segment.
15 Aug 2018 7h 46m O.Artemyev and S. Prokopyev; mission Soyuz TM-08 Exp. ISS
The duo released four tiny satellites into Earth orbit, installed antennas and cables on the Zvezda service module and retrieved experiments that analyzed external station surfaces and observed plasma waves, and installed an experiment called Icarus onto the Russian segment of the space station.
Total: 20h 20m EVAs: 3
