Moscow, we have a problem.
One of the issues that the Orbital Space Plane (and now Commercial Crew) had to deal with was avoiding an abort into the North Atlantic.

Riffing off one of the commenters at the Arse Technica piece, I wonder how they got that inside an office.
Heaven forfend anyone suggest that’s a plywood mockup.
I don’t see what the problem is. Cpt. Tony Nelson’s Mercury capsule made an abort into the South Pacific, leaving him stuck on a beach. A rescue helicopter picked him up and that was that.
It’s not really a problem with the Federation itself though, is it? The problem stems from where ROSCOM is building/upgrading launch sites, and the fact that the Russian Navy is a pale, pale shadow of its former self.
