A candidate crash site for Mars 6 is being reported. I'm not anywhere near informed enough to evaluate their work, other than that a lot apparently went into it.

I was interested in the article linked to by Hungry4info and having read the English translation (courtesy of Chrome) concluded it gives no information to the candidate location (other than the image). So I set out to find it using HiView. My coordinates for the candidate location: center at pixel 24175x,37145y which is towards to bottom right corner of the image.
Here is a screen shot of the area, from HiView, superimposed with the article's image, for comparison. By the way, the location seems to have the configuration predicted by the impact simulations as shown in the article's videos. The article does not point to any other items, such as the parachute. I searched the web for information but could not find for sure if the parachute was attached to a back shell (that might have acted as a sort of anchor). If not, as the image appearing in the Mars 6 Wikipedia article seems to show, the parachute could have been blown by the wind a considerable distance. The wind direction seems to be, predominantly, from the lower left to the upper right. I made a shot of an area about 800x800m (about 3200x3200 px) centered on the candidate and there is nothing that catches my untrained eye. If I find something further I'll post it here.
