Russia has spend a ton of money over the last few years upgrading and modernizing their nuclear arsenal.
also again Russia has about 5500 weapons including about 1600 on ICMB's and SLBM's. So even if half fail its more then enough.
I don't think that we can hope for an outright failure of Russia's nuclear arsenal, even in the face of poor maintenance of their army and poor training. I would play the assumption that its not so for the Nuclear arsenal.
