least 1 save from the Launch Escape system
They have had 2 launch failures with manned Soyuz flights, one was an off the pad abort with the LES, while the other was a third stage ignition at the correct time with the core stage still attached which resulted the whole stack tumbling until the crew manually aborted. There have been a number of very hairy Soyuz re-entries though some of which were almost fatal.
