Well, look at the Russian space program. There haven't been any fatal accidents in the Russian/Soviet space program since 1971 as opposed to the US where the last fatal accident happened 20 years ago (Columbia accident).

Columbia had 28 missions - 28 launches and 27 successful landings. There has been no Russian space vessel, that has been launched more than 1 time into space. Even Buran space shuttle had only 1 mission, before it was abandoned.

I wouldn't comment on quality of cars, as I do not own any Russian car - and I also do not own any nuclear submarine(yet), but what we know is that Russians can't properly build bunker for their own fuhrer and Nuclear plant is less significant project.
