Well technically not a Soviet launch. If successful This will be the first deep space mission coming out of Kazakhstan (the main Russian launch facility) since the Soviet days.
There were a number of attempts since the breakup of the Soviet Union but they all failed. Most Notably the Phobos-Grunt mission which was to return a soil sample from the Mars moon Phobos. It never left earth orbit and burned up during reentry to the Earth.
Good luck to the Russians, but in my humble opinion, no one matches NASAs science achievements/discoveries.
