A recent Soyuz capsule docked with the ISS was found to contain a tiny hole
through which air was escaping -- and Russian investigators said it looked
to have been deliberately drilled. Is there a saboteur lurking in the
Russian space agency? https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-45423225

This was almost a repeat performance of something that happened in 1975:

When the crew realized they weren't going to make it into orbit, they
radioed, "Are we going to land in China?" No response. Again they asked. The
response: "We have a treaty with the Chinese, don't we?" Instead of a normal
re-entry spread out of several minutes, they followed an uncontrolled
ballistic trajectory and decelerated from 10,000 mph to 500 mph in about
thirty seconds. The G-meter in the capsule only went up to 18 Gs. It pegged
and then broke. After the chute popped, they tumbled down a mountainside and
came to a stop at the edge of a cliff. Wolves reportedly circled the capsule
all night. They were finally rescued late the next day.
Try as they might, the Russkies seem to be on a slippery slope:

Russia has suspended further manned flights until an answer can be found for
the malfunction...
