The Russian shuttle came to the exhibition center in Sydney late 1990's/early 2000's...I can't remember exactly the year. I walked all through it. Quite amazing. The exhibit claimed it was a self contained launch and return vehicle. I can't ever remember hearing of any actual flights tho. The exhibit also claimed those canny Russians found the plans on the early internet and copied them adding their own improvements...
As to the veracity of anything...I can only verify the existence of the shuttle. It was huge and completely open for inspection. Looked just like the US ones.
