Agency record
Soviet Union
Every figure on this page is counted from the committed mission records that list Soviet Union among their agencies. None of them is maintained by hand.

Active missions are excluded from the success rate: a live mission has no outcome yet, so counting it would report a rate the records do not support. 0 of the 24 records are still active, leaving 24 concluded. A partial success is a distinct recorded outcome, so it is not counted in the numerator, but it stays in the denominator.

These records in the directory
An agency is recorded exactly as the mission’s own sources name it, so a differently spelled or differently scoped name is a separate record with its own page rather than something folded into this one. The directory’s agency filter matches the same string this page counts.
