As per russian sources (I failed to check it with NASA site, as it seem to have only future launches), russians have had 15 launches this year (2 of them failed) and USA only 7. EU has 4, China 3, India 2, Japan and Korean have 1. Russia is still dominating space country, even if some recent fails are concerning. It is the nature of business, that successful start makes no news and failed launch is so spectacular and interesting.
