If I'm remembering correctly, this was the first successful Proton launch to solar orbit since Vega 2 in 1984. Phobos 1 and 2 boosted themselves into solar orbit after successful Proton launches put them in elliptical Earth orbits in 1988. The Mars 96 mission was left stranded in LEO after a Blok D-2 upper stage failure in 1996.
Amazing it's been so long, especially considering how many beyond-earth-orbit missions Proton performed during its early years.
