At least on the early Soviet space missions, the cosmonauts had almost no control by default and most of the control was by onboard sequencing. The controls were actually locked with a combination lock. The Globus was more of a backup. The landing mode feature wasn't added until 1967. Based on the book "Beyond" (Walker) about the early Soviet space program and Yuri Gagarin. A very interesting book and I recommend it.
