IIRC, now the Russian space program has a beter safety record that us. Is that figured in deaths per flight or failures per launch?

Overall, I'd say probably not. More recently, that's probably true. For the first twenty to thirty years, their program was highly secret, and failures were not made public. Only recently have we become aware of some of the tragic losses of the Soviet space program.
