Anzahl der Orbitalstarts durch Russland, 1957–2025. Bemerkenswerter Rückgang nach der Zeit des Kalten Krieges.
Nahezu dem niedrigsten Stand seit Anfang der 1960er Jahre.

Does this include Russian tankers who were launched into space while visiting Ukraine?
Or would those be Ukrainian launches? 🤔
We care about this terrorist state, why?
SpaceX launches as much mass to orbit in 10 days as this wanabe superpower in a year

The reduction of launches from the mid 1980s is not an itself indicator of decline. Instead, it shows the soviets finally changing their photo reconnaissance satellites from photographic-return to electro-optical (which have much longer orbital life).
US launches show a similar decline (masked a bit by an uptick in US commercial launch activity), but earlier. KH-9 required fewer launches (because it had 4 return vehicles) and KH-11 (from the mid 1970s) was electro-optical, and remained operational for several years.
The difference of 60s-80s vs later years are mostly attributed to improvements in electronics and reliability
Meanwhile the US is setting a new record each year.
If humanity hyper focused on that we would have colonized the Moon by now.
Please change the title same as you have in the graph, at least. This meme of „The great history of RU in the 60s“, that was USSR NOT RU. Off course there are differences in the history if you pretend the 2 countries are the same, however they are extremely different.
Would you have USSR today it would have the population of EU!
