The Soviet supply chain was a disaster, and many of its machines barely worked.

this "disaster supply chain" lasted beyond the collapse of the government and was delivering US astronauts to the ISS long after NASA lost that capacity

Soviet machines barely worked which is why the Soyuz has a pathetic safety record compared to the space shuttle. Hang on, I'm getting a memo.
