No, Russia (formerly the Soviet Union) has not lost any cosmonauts in space. All of the fatalities involving Russian cosmonauts occurred during launch or re-entry phases, not in the vacuum of space itself. The most notable incidents include the Soyuz 1 crash in 1967 and the Soyuz 11 tragedy in 1971, where cosmonauts died during re-entry due to cabin depressurization.
