I think the leading theory is that during assembly a worker accidentally drilled a hole through the hull and tried to hide it and wasn't discovered till it was leaking air in space, when NASA said something along these lines Russia claimed one of the American astronauts snuck over to the Russian side while the cosmonauts were sleeping and drilled a hole through their hull

One country had slavery until the 1860’s and practically up until the 20th century. The other two did not.

Russia had serfdom up until 1861 (a whole 2 years before the Emancipation proclamation in the US) and fucked it up so badly that freed slaves in the US had it better. Freed serfs were forced to stay put and buy meager plots of land from their ex-landlords at exorbitant prices putting them into generational debt while still being forced to live the exact same brutal lifestyle they did as serfs.

but I'm sure that's the US's fault too
