What Wikipedia says

Soyuz 4 (Russian: Союз 4, Union 4) was launched on 14 January 1969, carrying cosmonaut Vladimir Shatalov on his first flight. The mission successfully docked with Soyuz 5, marking the first docking of two crewed spacecraft. The craft received two crew members from Soyuz 5 via spacewalk, and returned to Earth.
