It is possible to see a table containing crewing chronology on my satellite page
http://www.lib.cas.cz/knav/space.40/1986/017A.HTM
This page is in Czech language, but I think the content is clear.
Heading "Osádka" means "Crew"
"Od" - "From"
"Odkud" - "Comes from"
"Do" - "Until"
"Kam" - "Proceed to"
"Člen osádky" - "Crew member"
   in this column "bez osádky" - "wthout crew" ie. unmanned
"Stát" - "Country" (ISO code)
"Let" - "Flight no."
"Funkce" - "Assignment" KK - Komandir korablya = commander
                                       BI - Bortinzhener = flight engineer
                                      KI - kosmonavt-ispytatel = cosmonaut researcher
