SOLVED. Russian? astronuats fly through space and crash? end up on a utopian planet. [s]

My friend and I were talking and remembered a book that was originally written in Russian but published in English. At least I think it was Russian might have been Finland.

This it was released in the 70s maybe 80s.

All I could remember is that Earth was doing space explorations and I think the setting was the year 2000-2020.

There was a two manned ship and it got lost in space and I think it crashed and the planet they landed on was very technologically advanced and kind of utopic.

I am pretty sure I read it as a leather bound book so unfortunately no cover to speak of.

My friend thinks the book was not a utopia but a dystopia and that the military on the planet shot the ship down.

If either of these ring a bell to anyone we would be grateful of the help google did not get me far.

Maybe Fiasco or something else by Stanisław Lem? He's Polish, though, not Russian.

That is not the right book. Very similar premise though. Thanks for trying.

I remembered something else.

The pilot who survived is taken by the leader of the place and is made to sound like he is a God and being forced to marry the leader's daughter.

I found it! The Inhabited Island.
