Thanks Koos,
Yeah, the cosmonauts sometimes get on between SSTV transmissions. They did it over North America in July of 2015 too:

I'm not aware of them making contacts with people between SSTV transmissions over NA, but I think they have over Russia at least, and maybe also Europe.

I believe I shouldn't have sounded so certain in the subject of the email. This is unconfirmed and these events are always tentative due to science experiments or other unexpected more important ISS activities taking precedent.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and I really hope there will be amateur radio contacts with the ISS again some day.
In may 2015 I heard Romeo Sierra .. India Sierra Sierra and some language I could not understand (most likely Russian) between SSTV images, audio available via https://idefix.net/~koos/newsitem.cgi/1428870512
