Sure, "back in the day"... but now:

On May 12, 2002, a hangar housing the Buran (airframe OK-1K1) orbiter collapsed due to incomplete maintenance. The collapse killed eight workers and destroyed the orbiter as well as a mockup of an Energia booster rocket.

This was the only Russian shuttle to ever be launched.
