No, the Russian's Sputnik was unmanned.
The Sputnik program consisted primarily of unmanned missions, with the first satellite, Sputnik 1, launched in 1957 as a robotic spacecraft. However, it eventually led to manned space missions, such as Vostok 1, which carried Yuri Gagarin into space in 1961. Thus, while the initial Sputnik missions were unmanned, they played a crucial role in the development of human spaceflight.
The world's first artificial satellite, the Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957.
No, Sputnik was not a shuttle. Sputnik was the world's first artificial satellite, launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. A shuttle typically refers to a spacecraft like the Space Shuttle used by NASA for manned spaceflight missions.
The first manned space flight was by the U.s.s,R in the Sputnik.
The first manned orbital capsule was the Vorstok 1, manned by soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
They were unmanned, although Sputnik 2 carried a dog into space.

Sputnik I? The Russian (Soviet Union) satellite? Well, the Soviet Union had successfully launched this satellite, so the Russians were indeed involved. I am pretty sure that only the Soviet Union was involved (even though Sputnik I was part of the Space Race, the American people did not have anything to do with the satellite).
The USSR launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, into orbit on the 4th of October, 1957.
The first manned orbital capsule was the Vorstok 1, manned by soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
Because the Sputnik program ended with Sputnik 3. Albeit there was a Sputnik 40 and 41 but these were to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Sputnik 1.
