What Russian Shuttle was sent immediately after Apollo 11 and crashed?
And why would they send the guy on an essential suicide mission, knowing his rocket more than likely won't make it, just for the possibility of a tie?

The Soviets never attempted a manned lunar landing. They sent an unmanned probe called Luna 15 to the Moon at the same time as Apollo 11, hoping to bring a lunar soil sample back to Earth, but the probe crashed.
They did have a program to land a man on the moon, but after Sergei Korolev died in 1966, there was no one with the technical skills or the political influence to bring the program to fruition. If Korolev had lived, things might have been very interesting in 1969.

Russia never had a shuttle program then.
They did develope a shuttle that looked a lot like ours,but so far as I can remember,it was never even launched for test flights,Russia's space program ran out of money and the shuttle program was scrapped.
